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

Almost happened to me yesterday. That Stay Fresh load that I sat 6 hours for going to Jarrett was just a drop there. Then they changed it to the Petersburg plant and a LUL. Fortunately, BH told me to put it in a door and just drop it.

Good thing as I was out of hours and had plans with my lady.

Sitting in the yard now and as much as I hate to admit it, I'd be happy to sit here until my hometime starts on Sunday. YAWN ....

 

@chralb is that meeting gonna be apart of hometime?Hope its not a gathering to just blow smoke up everybody's ### lol.

 

I'd lay odds that "safety & security" are on the agenda... if I were a betting man that is.

 

As if I needed more fuel for my fire. LOL.

 

I was once in a meeting and I ended up "stirring the pot a bit"... afterwards this very nice and quiet little old lady walked up to me and in the sweetest little old lady voice and mothering tone; "if you don't stir the pot once in a while; the soup will burn"...

Then she giggled and I laughed.

Made all the tension of the meeting melt away.



{thanks for a rather fond flashback}

 

Nice.

And I get called a whiner and crybaby. LOL

 

On a separate state note; not sure if it's been talked about here yet or not but I used the new and improved Pilot App a couple times recently... I could not get it to work once, thinking one must be on their Wifi Network to get it to work but that has yet to be proven. Thinking GPS location, like the CAT Scale App uses, would be good enough but whatever.

Anyway, the next time I tried, it worked rather slick... drive up to the fuel lines and as you wait on the truck ahead in line you pop up the app... it already has your EFS Card Number, Pilot Rewards Card Number, Truck Number, and Driver Code... update a few variable data fields from the last purchase like trailer/load/mileage numbers and done.

It then gives you a six digit code to enter into the pump and start pumping.

No need to write down the mileage.
No need to take paperwork to the pump.
No need to fumble with EFS and Pilot cards.

Pretty darn slick. I used it for a shower too. It does everything except give you the shower room number ... still must use the inside screens for that but I bet that will be updated soon too.

Anyway, it's a very nice update and allows the driver to do all the data input from the cab.

Sweet addition to their app.


Has anyone else uses it yet
and what are your thoughts???

 

I've had hit and misses with it, too. Great when it works.

 

So, does that mean we have to learn how to fly drones?
