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

Very true! Them things are nasty..not too mention not good for you. I'll just stick to my coffee.

 

Me too.

 

Ugh... I know it will happen, and to a much lessor degree has, but I am not looking forward to the first illness in the road...

Good Luck JB

 

Well, I have 6 on my 70 with 3 coming round tonight then almost full clocks coming the next two nights.

This load is heading to West Memphis and I am PrePlanned for an HP load going to Richmond for 7am Tuesday.

So I guess I will park for 10 now and switch to nights for the next few days to make that second drop.

I could run my six yet today but then that gives me only 3 for tomorrow... And I will still be on nights after my full day of recap comes around. So might as well switch now and have complete drivable days for a bit.

Dinner time and then a few Benadryl to crash for the night... Variety is rather nice...

 

I just did the opposite. Took a 34 in OH and did a 5hr run this morning. I'll do a 10 now and be in Richmond by 7 tonight where I can hopefully drop this box (due in Prince George 8am Monday) and get something decent to run my fresh book with. Either way it gets me off this crazy sitting all day for midnight, deliver in the morning and then sit all day for midnight cycle I was stuck in.

Be nice to see the sun with the truck actually moving again.

 

Brings ya back to riding with J.B. huh lol sleep all day drive all night lol

 

Sleep all day? Hardly. I never sleep more than 3 ... 4 hours tops. Another reason that craziness was really messing me up.

I prefer running at night "most" of the time (about 70%) but like to break it up and .... do so on my terms.

But mainly? I just can't handle all the sitting. I don't do sitting well. I've been tracking the metrics of this truck. Now, if I'm not in it, it's not running. The idle time has been between 40% and 60% for weeks. That's not helping the company and it sure as heck ain't helping me.

 

I'm with ya there. The most commercial tunes of the most popular bands, are usually the worst.
