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

I assume every one saw the QC msg about submitting stories to be forwarded to Don’s Family... the couple above and more to follow will be appreciated when read by his wife and family...

If you can’t get to Richmond to write it in the book you can submit an email to the payroll email address and they will print them off and include them with the book.

This is a nice touch on Abilene’s part.
To think of doing this for Don’s Family.

I’ve been grumpy lately, but Good On You!!!

 

That sucks,i dont like many people but Don was an awesome guy.

 

Thanks for posting this. Since I’m not at my truck, I had no idea. When I get back to Richmond tomorrow, I will certainly do this.

 

Man,has anybody else been dealing with all the rain?

Parked in New Caney for the night haven't been this way in a while.

 

Snowed here in Eastern Reno this morning. I 80 was a mess. Hopefully it will be all gone tonight.

 

Here at that hole-in-the-wall truck stop in Berea, KY. The one that looks VERY trashy, but is actually a pretty decent place with good food and homemade pies and cakes and banana pudding and stuff.

I was having a low blood-sugar moment (I suffer from hypoglycemia) and went in to buy a slice of cake and also to use the bathroom (not in that order).

The toilet had been seriously abused to the point of non-functionality by some previous trucker. So me, being a good citizen, went out to tell 'em that they needed to get a plunger. Or perhaps an exorcist. Then I ordered a slice of strawberry cake.

Young woman behind the counter expressed dismay at the prospect of facing down a fully-clogged trucker toilet. Can't say as I blame her. It was pretty nasty.

She looked at me. "If I got you the plunger, would you unclog it for me?" she asked half-jokingly, but only half. No dudes work here that I've ever seen. It's an all-female staff, and it was just her and one other girl on duty.

"Give me a discount on that slice of cake and I'll do it."

"I will give you that slice of cake FOR FREE if you do it."

"k."

And that, my friends, is how I got a free slice of strawberry cake for unclogging a toilet at a truck stop in Berea, KY.

 

That would require HQ to send me to Califnordia, which they haven't done since July.

 

you da man.....

 

And maybe one for later too?
I mean... I’ve seen it... you haven’t.

LOL ... come on... work it boy...
