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

Didn't see any freaks at night but I get to people watch now that the sun came up.

LOL

 

In Brooklyn the freaks come out 24/7

 

NYC is cool always enjoyed my visits there as a tourist, but it is no place for a highway tractor trailer.

You would think that for what BH could get for that site they could build a state of the art distribution friendly facility outside of the city. At the very least, sell off part of it and keep a portion as corporate offices if they absolutely had to keep a Brooklyn presence.

 

Oh I would come back as a tourist... catch a show on Broadway... or other such things... never been to see Lady Liberty yet, etc.

But ya, not with a sleeper and 53 footer in tow.

Had a hell of a time finding a place to park here last night... there were some spaces but either a car or BH Prov van parked just right to muck it up for a truck.

I had hoped to get here, rushed to get here too, and just unloaded in a couple hours and get the heck out of dodge... but nope. 5 hours later and still waiting... guess I am taking my 10 on the streets of Brooklyn this time.

 

That's the only good thing about that place. If you can get a spot in the bullpen, there's some great scenery to be had there...especially in the summer time!

 

Got back to richmomd friday morning with minimum hours on 14. Got rewarded with a brooklyn trip for 4am monday. Spent 12 hours there before being done.

Brokered back to rva with no issues. Come.back in yesterday and got a brokerload off the yard going to eastern pa. Call broker...load was to deliver days ago. Get things sorted out between broker and abilene and they were to get me an apt for this am. Couple hours later. Calles to go pu another load for this trip from nw va going to mass and then back to pa.

Now just waiting for qc to say im ready to go

 

I don't understand why no likes NY or NJ I live here drive here 5 days a week it's not the south which I have no desire for much better here but hey some people just can't hang with us freaks.

 

Hey John did you ever get straightened out with Fat Tommy over that money deal?

 

This is why I tell all my friends and family that truckers aren't paid to make the truck go forwards. They're paid to make the truck go backwards.



I understand it's no big deal to all you old timers, but it's still an attention-focusing experience for this newbie.
