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

It all depends on the computer. Some drivers had to do the hair and urine test and for me at that time the computer wanted a urine test and alcohol test. It was my first time ever having to take a breath analysis test to see if I was drinking alcohol while driving.

 

Hooked my trailer this morning and found I had no lights at all.....discovered whoever set this new volvo up didn't plug the pigtail into the truck....don't know how that escaped my eyes when I looked the truck over before getting into it, lol!

 

Check also that both of your fuel tank valves are open. When I got my new truck only the driver side was open.

 

Thank you, Ill check that out.

 

They wanted me to do a breathalyzer my last random. Which happened on day 4 of my 4-day hometime. I was like "Even if I AM drunk, I'm off-duty and on hometime, so it wouldn't make any difference."

 

Very true!

 

Now that’s funny... lol

 

It simply amazes me... and irritates me...

Quaker in Carlisle, PA... i arrive at 2am for a 10am LLD, I am more than welcome to be sitting under an empty waiting for them to load me... and I am more than welcome to be sleeping for those 7-8 hours... but after I get loaded, can I simply hang out in some out of the way corner to complete a 10???

“Oh no... that’s just not possible... see we have this company policy that we can’t let drivers stay/sleep on the lot... see the sign???”

Sure wasn’t a problem when I was bumped to your dock for 8 hours... but ok...

Ya, I really hope these new ELD rules impacts them just a bit... but ya, we all know that won’t happen.

 

Does anyone know just where the “Rear Aux Jack” is located on these Volvos??? I see the option on the stereo but I can’t find the actual place to plug in my device. Thoughts?
