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

Yeah, that's the one I delivered to. Turn on Mingo trail off SR434 to set you up for the back. Run driver's side tandems on edge of the grass when backing into the lot. Your deer guard will get very close to the chain link fence across the street, but nothing major to hit there. The dock is angled so once you get on the lot it's a breeze. You can park there overnight and the guy shows up early so no probs there.

 

If that red car with the smashed front is there you're...well...not going to have fun as I needed that space to get in there. The key is getting there at night as hope street gets busy than you think it would and the lot was empty.

 

Things have changed. I didn't have to pay for physical and drug test up front and they were done local to where i live a week before I went to orientation. I'm pretty sure I got training pay for the 2 days of orientation too, but can't swear to that. First stage training pay is $75 a day

I went through orientation in April 2016. At the time lunch was provided from subway. Breakfast is an all you can eat buffet included with the very nice room at the La Q. Stuff yourself with free breakfast that way you can save half your subway for a free dinner. BK, McD and a Waffle House are a 5 min walk from the hotel if you get hungry.

Orientation is a bunch of videos and going through company procedures. On the 3rd day you do a road test with Bill the fleet manager. Real laid back 20 min tour of scenic Chester VA. Don't worry about being rusty on the test drive. It isn't a "no more than 2 pull ups or you're gone" type deal. He just wants to make sure you can keep the truck out of the ditches.

Welcome aboard!.

 

@Redtwin @4mer trucker,and everyone else thanks for the help,the 2 stops went off without a hitch last night.

@Redtwin the easiest way to me to backin on hope st was to blindside through the gate.

 

Picking up produce in Fl,with another pick in NC,with a del up to Wegman's in NY for Monday morning.

 

You are the driver I aspire to, but will never be.

 

Those are the most fun when each shipper specifies a different set temp and neither are what Wegmans requires.

I feel dirty when I fill out the temp check sheet on those loads.

 

Thanks man means alot lol.

Glad somebody appreciates me lol.

Didn't mean it like that,had help from 2 guys if you want to call it that lol.

 

I just had a delivery in a tight lot where 2 guys just stood there and watched me tie myself in knots trying to get lined up to the door. You know you are in for a fight when their own yard jockey needed 5 pull ups to put a trailer in a door.
