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

So is a large bookbag kind of like a military molle bag big enough?

 

Somewhere between a book bag and steamer trunk will work.

 

This backing conversation is one for the ages. Someone I trained 2 years ago is still in the learning faze. At what point will the company say no solo driving until you pass a backing test? And please, can I write the test?

 

Where in miami?. There are a few rat holes down that way. One at us27 and griffin rd, the other is us 27 and 826(palmetto xpwy).

There is also 595 truck stop but that is $15 to park. Not sure if they have that deal where you spend money in shop and get free parking.

If you have a reefer there is a cold storage warehouse in doral you could sneakily try as no-one actually checks if you are supposed to be there or not.

 

Carry 7 days clothes, 1 pair of shoes or sneakers, towel & washcloth and toiletries and bedding or sleeping bag.

That is all you will *need*. If you can fit all that in a book bag then you must be tiny.

 

Man in the last 100 miles I passed 9 AME trucks headed west on 35 in Ohio are y'all havin a jubilee or somethin? I even passed a blue truck I never seen a blue AME truck before.

 

The owner/lease ops have different colors.

35 is one of our main routes west. One of our bigger customers has a facility in OH and there is a walmart DC we deliver to alot also in OH. We use 35 to get to the midwest a lot. 9 trucks isn't a lot to see on that route.

 

Yeah right on I sorta figured that. Boy them trucks of y'alls sure do make a guy wanna come drive one they're SWEET

 

We do have some nice trucks changed every 3 years, nicely optioned too. About the only thing missing is an apu.

The trailers are rotated regularly too. I have yet to pull one that wasn't in great shape. Not like some of the scabby dogs I see some big league companies still using.

 

I don't know if they are changed every three years or not. We still have 12s and 13s around.
