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

Taking full credit for training someone who had experience as a solo driver before applying for Abilene is a bit of a stretch. Well after your dismal track record I guess its understandable. Have you walked on water lately?

 

Wooooo weeeeeeee. My pucker factor is tuckered. 7 trucks to unload this morning and I was the last one in cuz I bumped my 70. Unloaded at 1330 and went down to the Pilot in Bloomington to wait on a load. Sent me one at 1600 and I called CH and they said it was already dispatched. Just as I hung up a new load came in picking up in Janesville, WI going to Gordonsville. Sent in my acceptance saying I couldn't make 0930 Wed, running recaps. Got about 30 miles up I39 and the temp dropped and the roads froze with mega crosswinds. Was feeling squirly fora few miles then the wind caught my trailer and had me sideways. Nope not gonna. Werner didn't listen to his pucker and jacked it into the ditch. Called CH and said sorry Charlie. I'm 119 miles away, snowing, sleeting, freezing and blowin. I like my company truck too much to be in the ditch so I hit the next exit.

 

Enjoy your cruise JB.

We go the end of January, can't wait!

Thank you everyone that responded! I look forward to talking with/ meeting more of you. I tested out and got my truck yesterday. Headed over to HP in Sandstone, VA and grabbed a load delivering to Miami Wednesday. Then it's time for some turkey!

 

Thanks again John, you deserve full credit for all the knowledge you shared with me at such an early point in my career. Enjoy your cruise!

 

What kind of truck did you end up getting???
