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

We REALLY need a beer vendor out here.

Just sayin'.

Think of the moral boost it would bring.

 

Welp, all buttoned up for the night. Windows open and fans going. Had to fire the bunk heater last night. Hope to have to again tonight.

Night all! And safe miles!

 

Yes sir.... WAY in the opposite direction, lol.

 

I didnt think of this before. You said you dropped an empty at HP. Were you told to take it there?. If so that would pretty much be the finish line. What I normally do is head back to the yard after dropping an empty and ask at the window for another load. I don't know if that's what we are expected to do, it's just what works for me and I haven't been told otherwise.

I *think* that when you are in the vicinty of the yard the DMs don't push any loads your way. I get the feeling they concentrate more on moving drivers that are still out in the wild. Those at base can fend for themselves.

Again, just my take. I haven't been told that is the case.

 

Broke down on the side of the road. 1st time in 2+ years. Things happen...that's trucking

 

What happened?

 

That makes sense. Will probably just roll to the yard tomorrow on off-duty drive time and pick up from the window.

As for the trailer, I was told to move it there but wasn't told to drop it there. I did that on my own just so I could come home and grab a shower.

 

Something with the drive belt. No drive, no power, no lights etc...

 

Yeah, that what I would do. There is a good chance your DM wouldnt be in until monday and you dont want to waste a day you could be running.

Wish it had clicked in my head sooner what was going on. You could have had a load already instead of waiting around.

 

Is it still on?. If it is and is not slipping I would start checking fuses with fingers crossed that it wasnt the alternator.
