Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Well, in my case, it's not that I'm bothered by AM vs. PM. I coulda made either one. Hell, they offered me the load early enough that I coulda made 7pm delivery tonight.

But if I roll up to the window at HQ and ask for a load, I think it should be obvious that I'm asking for a load that I can hook and roll now. I'm awake, I'm ready to roll, I'm standing at the window burning daylight, LFG.

I think it's so obvious that I'm looking for a load I can hook and roll right then that I always forget to check whether or not it's a load that I can hook and roll right then. So I'm always caught by surprise when the actual load assignment hits the qualcomm and it's a load with 24 hours of dead time on it.

I'd rather take a 200 mile load that leaves right now over a 600 mile load that leaves tomorrow. Because after I deliver that 200 mile load, they can put something else on me and I can hopefully keep rolling.

 

Dropped my fostoria yesterday morning, and was given the volvo Toledo to West Memphis,will drop that on the yard,and will see what's next,hometime this weekend,grass needs cutting.

Miles have been on the amend lately,alot due to weekend dispatch.

 

Came off hometime yestrday and grabbed gatorade to west jefferson then BH to Greenville, thankfully the easier one to back into on the corner. Parked in the dock now, they will probably knock at 0200 like they normally do instead of 0400. Next is Ridgeville to somewhere. Sent me deadhead move to there since they won’t know the info til morning when they get in. Ill prob park out front here for few hrs so not to start my clock too early so 14 don’t catch up too soon. They said it is probably going to Greenfield, IN. Will see in the morning. Them 5 days off went too fast. Unfortunately my sugar number went up and got a stern final warning from my VA doc about it. Did manage to lose 9 lbs though so there is that. Gotta really watch my diet and add body weight exercises with the walking and keep working with the nutritionist.

 

Get off the standard American diet and go strict Keto or Carnivore and blood sugar problems will disappear.

 

Best advice I've seen in a while.....

 

You could try doing proteins shakes. There are some good ones out there also, Try increasing your fruits and vegetables and take..

 

Dropped the W Memphis,now headed to Jacksonville,let the good times roll.

 

Trying Keto (kind of) for a few years now and my system wide inflammation pretty much disappeared. I can still feel it come back a bit when I fall off the wagon for a few too many days. Totally dropped the daily anti inflammation Med I was on as a result too.

still need to drop a few more pounds… gotta tighten that up too.

 

It’s tough, I slip on a weekly basis, but when I went strict keto I was pre diabetic. I dropped 40lbs. and my blood sugar issues disappeared along with all my joint pain.
