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

Near harrisburg i guess not technically central but right there with 81 83 283 and the turn pike

 

Sitting arrow head in Pendleton Oregon. Rolling reset ends at 7 am eastern time and good to finish out the next week. The load is due in Richmond Monday morning, should get in Sunday night. Perhaps I can just drop it on the yard. My trainee is one that JB kicked out of his truck and I have him now to finish. Had issues in Boston and brought him out here to smooth out a couple of things. I think he may be ready to try the Northeast again. 2 more weeks and I should be able to send him on his way.

 

Harrisburg you should be fine getting home. We have quite a bit of upstate New York loads that would get u by the house during the week, time off as well every other weekend

 

Make sure you pit in for detention. In 5 days i sat for a total of 34 hours waiting on 2 loads. 1st time was 24 hours past appt time 2nd time 9 hours past appt time. I just checked my pay stub and.my detention pay was on there. If you have issues getting it send me a private message and I'll explain how to get it.

 

Groveport tries to blame a computer issue. Well they have been using that excuse for over a month now. If thwy are backed up they ned to work overtime to catch up.

 

And if you go into the shipping office it says Petersburg and the place in Michigan are the last to get loaded.

 

Made it back to Richmond load was ready the same time I arrived, paper work was printed wrong had another carriers name on it. Office didn't figure it out until the driver of the other carrier came to pick up the other Petersburg it had our trailer number

 

hey uturn1 HOS nazi huh.....welll i did just that today............little secret from ONE of my "trainers" made it to the truck stop....Master yodi I will be in Oregon Monday 6am!!! sharp I am liking this job but we will see when wednesday rolls in....will have to start "RECAP" hrs. lets see how that works out.......I hope i get a lite load out of OR back to fly up those big hills.... Uturn1 I think the antennas are shot on this truck( Cascadia '13) oh well i have learn to sing to myself and use sign lanuage...... will roll out another 700 miles tomorrow to put me 2 hours less to do on monday!!!

 

Cascadia integral antenna system is no good
only hope is installing bird perch with antenna facing forward wuth good coax
passenger side so the constant door opening doesnt ruin the coax

 

Get yourself one of these mirror brackets and run your own coax out to an antenna of your choosing. I'm using one and it works great. I have usable SWR's (1.4:1) and I can talk and receive quite well.
