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

It was a nice pick up, a little tight to get turned around in but not bad. The drop came off in about 45 minutes.

 

I'm sitting in the yard after doing a couple deliveries and pick ups around southern Va yesterday and today. Our pay period ends midnight tomorrow night and I wanted to make sure I kept my 2 week average up. I ended up with 6425 miles and 4 extra stop offs for this pay period. That's with 4 days at the house. I start the new pay period with a 2 stopper going to Plano Tx then finals in Amarillo. The trailer will be in the yard during the night. I'll get a message sent to me on the qualcomm when it arrives, then I'll get up and leave early in the morning. I have enough time to run out to Plano and take a reset which will be up 4 hours before my delivery on Tuesday. I can take the reset here but rather get the miles in now then start fresh with my hours on Tuesday. The way our freight is I need all the hours I can get. Be safe everyone this holiday weekend, God bless.

Just a note to say thanks to all our past and present military veterans, and their families, especially those that gave the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless you all.

 

I just love when you put a plan into action, do everything you plan then something else beyond your control ruins it. My load finally was ready at 4pm today. So much for running out to Plano and resetting. I have 9 more hours to finish a reset here, which I'm doing, I'll get up at 3am, shower then go hook to my trailer 4 miles from here. I should be in Plano around 5pm Monday.

 

Well this is going to be another first. I got to my delivery to a new Walmart in Plano Tx and went to bed as the second truck here, I woke up with a total of 7 of our trucks here. I'm just curious to see how all the trucks are reloaded today after getting empty.

 

Well my question was answered long before I got empty. We all got reload information as we were waiting our turn to unload. I'm now getting loaded in Broken Bow Ok going to Stanley Va for Thursday morning. 7 trucks unloading at the same consignee and every one of us is reloading today. Pretty cool.
Oh, my second drop was taken off of me at the first drop and arrangements were made to have another carrier take it to Amarillo. I lost out on 330 miles but made it up with a 1290 mile trip that gets me empty on Thursday instead of Friday. Now that's the cool part.
