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

Oh... AND...

When I told the manager/owner about being overweight after scaling 40 miles away he said, well there's a scale just five miles from here... LOL ... ok, but it doesn't appear on any data I have access too.

And then, turns out that company also owns the gravel pit right across the road... with guess what... a scale... yup, so the very same guy that I was talking to YESTERDAY about my concerns about being overweight and balancing it out for CA Bridge Law... the one that overloaded me to begin with... drove right over there with me and scaled the truck after they removed several thousand pounds of wood.

Guess that wasn't an option just 24 hours ago.

Oh, and, the manager/owner dude was trying to tell me part of the weight issue was my steers being over ... like dude, I need 5k removed to be legal... doesn't matter to me where it comes off... LOL ... but I suggest we focus on the 4+k that I'm over on my trailer first.

 

I actually logged completely out. I will have to remember to go inactive if I need to use it again. I had previously thought you could only go inactive if there was another driver logged in who could go active such as a team operation.

 

I heard it from Brian during my orientation. It may be in the newbie manual also, but I am not up to digging that out from under the bunk tonight.

 

This is one for the record books, a broker load that went off without a hitch. Had the correct pickup number, correct, easy to find addresses, and loading/unloading took less than 2.5hrs combined.

I am on another now which took over 3hrs to load so rest assured that normal service has resumed.

 

I popped my cat app cherry today. I got the ticket image saved, but also went in for the ticket just incase payroll isnt happy with the lack of employee code/trip number on that image.

Thanks to those that offered help. I am going to try the fuel app in the morning.

 

Call Jeff in WM the day before to schedule the PM. The last one I got there was a total of 1.5 hours.

 

HEY!!! I resemble that remark....

 

Every so often I hit the wrong button and log out completely. A real pain because when you log back in, it has to upload the entire log/macro history as if you were getting in a new truck. And we all know how lightening fast that system is.

 

Yard. Shower. Food. Bed. And in between seeing if I can get out of delivering this heavy load to Manassas in the morning. (Yeah, I'm sure that's going to happen!)

 

Time to turn up that southern charm sweetie.
