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

(I love to argue. Forgive me.)

Did you count the number of times you called me out directly? I can start blaming you, if you want.

 

I personally have hauled for Swift using our equipment via brokers at least twice. Makes me smile when I pass them, then they end up getting to the consignee as I'm finishing up.

 

Alright, thanks for explaining that, I appreciate it.

 

Thanks for writing even more about it, man.

 

Got a Sabra load from the yard to take to AME-WM. At the Pilot off of I-40, exit 398 for my 10 and a MUCH needed shower.

Was anyone notified that we OTR and regional drivers can no longer use the exception on the QC? Stacy gave me this today:
Sucks eggs. And more chewing from Scott, I imagine.

More tomorrow when I check in at WM.

Peace, and safe miles.

 

The blame game is still the blame game.

(I enjoy a good debate, but I am trying to help)

 

Nope, never seen it...
It's still an option on my QC.

 

I still plan on staying the course. But, I have to say, alot depends on what happens now. I have been told that it could take upwards of a year to get things meshed in a satisfying manner on both sides. (Humph, y'all said I don't listen. ) So, unless something extremely dumb happens by my fault or Abilene's, I'm in it for the year to be re-evaluated at that time. Victor is now VERY tuned in to my home time requests. And he seemed fully supportive of my "schedule" request. He also said that he can't take naps, either. LOL.

I didn't feel it necessary to include Alan at this point in time. I'm personally all about 2nd chances. And Victor and I never got the chance to get started on the right foot. Now, the first step has been taken. He asked specifically where I preferred to run. I made a bold, yet simple request that my truck tires stay off of Satan's Highway as much as humanly possible. He nodded in agreement and mentioned my 13 hr trip from the yard to Baltimore. That was the "raw deal" that was mentioned in a QC message a while back. I told him that the NE didn't bother me, as long as I could originate the run from WM, and not I-95. I told him truthfully and honesty that NYC scares the Hell out of me. I have NO business there at all. (Laugh all you want, this Southern boy has no, zip, zero business in NYC. I'll end up killing someone.)

Long story short, we parted ways with me feeling a guarded warm fuzzy feeling about our informal meeting. Time will tell, as it's been said.

Now, it's time for ni-ni meds. Refer is on constant as not to shake the truck every time it cycles. Catch some Z's. Then PTI/fuel for a good run across Tennessee.

Night all, and God bless you all!!

 

Read it. It's only for local drivers. It won't work for us anymore. Run up to 13 driving hours if qualified, then send a detailed QC message explaining why. And we still can't drive beyond our 14 hour clock. Period.

 

If it's official, I am sure someone will inform us.
