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

Sitting at QVC in Suffolk for a delivery and I look up and see an Abilene green truck, but no Abilene logo. Hmmm... Truck #1114 was on the back. Ha!

Got to spend turkey day at home. Family was surprised. I didn't even call my husband until I was hooked to this trailer and headed to the house. Now to get this unloaded and deadhead back to the yard. Trailer has an air leak somewhere. I can hear it, but I can't find it. And I need to get this steer tire off my drive axle. Thanks, JB, for explaining that. I kind of figured it was something to do with money.

 

Ok, I have a question. On this load, I p/u on the yard and paid miles to Suffolk were 83. Now I have a deadhead move back to same yard and paid miles are 75. Did it become a shorter distance from Suffolk to Richmond overnight? I did pose this question to my wonderful FM, and am eagerly awaiting his response.

 

Yes. The USA shrunk overnight. Guess you didnt hear about it.

 

Some routing software do that shows outbound with a few more miles showing than inbound , ours does it a lot on Canadian Loads

 

You should know you aways get paid less when you're headed home lol. You got a point though. It's happened to me a couple of times too.

 

Simple Answer... It's downhill coming back...

 

JB, I spoke with Rusty in recruiting, he said once I have completed training and had my CDL to give him a call and get the ball rolling.

 

maybe dispatch will fix it and pay you 75 each way to remain consistent

 

That'd be about right!!!
