    In theory that will work, in Abilenes world our trucks don't idle between 35 and 70.

    Got my reload info for the house. I will pick up a preloaded trailer on the yard going to a Publix store 4 miles from the house. It delivers on Wednesday morning at 8am. I'll be home about 10 am in the morning. The company stepped up yet again. I need to take my wife down to Miami on Wednesday at 3pm for a specialized test and needed to be home. The company sent me a message telling me they would repower the load by the house, I called in to Tim and told him I would deliver it myself because it's only 4 miles away. As I continue my association with Abilene, it becomes clearer every day just how much I enjoy this job and the way they step up when need be. It's hard enough dealing with health issues while on the road, the way my company has been there for us makes it a lot less stressful.

    Remember when my wife was rushed to be hospital and spent a day and a half there? Her and I had an over and under bet, I said it would be under 10k, she said it would be over, as usual, she was right, it was 29k. Isn't health care just great?
