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

Believe me when I tell you, this won't happen again. I know my limitations and I was almost at the end when I got to the shipper. Driving all night gave me a chance to think about everything you have mentioned. On paper I was legal, in reality if something did happen, being legal would have been the last thing to worry about.

 

I was. I spent most of the day waiting on my truck to get out of the shop.

 

I'm quite sure it paid squat. I've done everything possible to get on the same page with dispatch while on hometime. From what I was told on Friday when I spoke to someone in charge about it, the issue is not with just myself, it's with everyone that lives in Florida. I guess it must come to a surprise when we call in after hometime.

 

I'm home, got here about 2pm. My wife picked me up and we drove to my delivery so I could see where I needed to turn to be lined up right. This is going to be very comical in the morning, the Walmart Grocery store is still under construction, there's no loading dock available yet and it looks to me they need these coolers tomorrow like I need a hole in my head. We shall see.

I got my truck serviced yesterday, they rotated my drive tires and put new brakes on both drive axles, all this was done between 7 and 4. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. At the other company I would have spent 2 days in a motel or given a loaner truck.

 

I would absolutely bring it to their attention. My brakes were working fine, I had no issues with them, but I'll give credit when credit is due, they thought otherwise and replaced them.
