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

With you and the wife expecting yet another kid, you need to stay closer to home. Congrats on the hazmat endorsement. I haven't needed the use of mine in at least 6 years.

 

Got a message from dispatch yesterday to drop this load in the yard and hook to a 2 stopper going to the house. I'll be home around 11 in the morning.

 

I'm home. Got here at 10am. I need to make my first drop in Hialeah in the morning then my last drop Wednesday at Cape Canaveral. For what ever reason, the load was loaded this way. No matter to me, I get paid for the miles, instead of 825 it comes to 1160. One thing I truly like is the way we are given our miles, it comes across as empty miles first, then loaded miles. I am on my 4th load and every one has been spot on in regards to total miles and the actual miles I've driven.

I need to give myself a break, this learning curve for me has been off the charts. I woke up this morning in Kingsland,drinking a cup of coffee when it finally dawned on me, if I was doing anything wrong, they would have called me by now. I need to lighten up on myself a little.

 

Everyone who has followed me at the other company knows how I feel about running a ton of miles to make a living, I still believe in that but with a little different approach. We get paid every 2 weeks, if I am out for 10-14 days then I want to run and not sit. I'll sit when I get home. Wednesday will be one week at the new job. I will be empty on my seventh day and will have been paid on 3467 miles and 2 extra stop offs. I have been told by every driver I have met here that they average 3200 p/w.

 

Nope. I'm home now, will deliver in Hialeah early am then come home again and leave about 8am to get my last drop off.
