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

so anyone can ride as long as you have the waver and pay the fee or does it have to be a spouse? if I wanna stay out a month at a time or three weeks at a time will they keep me moving and send me west?

 

Most of the time you will keep moving. As for west, luck of the draw? There are a few that seem to get those loads. Personally, I've mainly been in the north. Some tx and one time to nv and ca.

 

Not sure about rider. I did have my son's now ex on the truck. But it was just to pick her up to move in with us.

 

Colton/Walmart must have relaxed their rules about hauling out of that facility heading back east of the Mississippi River? I use to be a planner on a Walmart Dedicated account that hauled out of Colton DC, we could only have Teams on those runs and the delivery dates were tight. How long have you hauled out of WCC/Colton as a solo?

 

Now, John, not everyone gets those kinds of miles all the time. But, at least 5000 would be a more appropriate number. Mine run anywhere between 5000 and 6200. On a good pay period. This one, not so much. Running reefers with live loading and unloading SUCKS. Took 4.5 hours last night to load 26,000. Really? Geez! Ran out of time, missed delivery appt, so guess who gets to sit on this until tomorrow at 9 am, where it will probably take at least 3 hours to unload. Nope, not even irritated about it. But, so far I have 1300 miles and tomorrow is Friday. I came back out Tuesday after they didn't get me home for my dental appointment on Friday. But still...It's all good.

 

Just curious, did you ever hear back from your trainee? Is he continuing with Abilene, or going somewhere else?
