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

Was home for a couple days... was a good weekend for the most part... waiting in the Truck for my next load...

 

I’m with JB on this - if OTR. Me, I wait in in my truck cause - hourly. When I text dispatch that I’m ready, I start my clock. Doesn’t matter to me if it takes him 10 minutes or 2 hours to find something.

 

So you wait at home until you know your next load? I called that id be back in the Truck and ready to roll at 8am... but then I wait for the load... which did come but I couldn’t roll until 11:30ish due to pickup appointment was 7pm.

but I also have to coordinate a ride to the truck so before the “still mrs” goes to work seems to be the best option... but Uber might work too.

 

Man, I saw all seasons of weather on this trip to Sumner WA. Started out in Fall, then Winter in Wyoming with snow and ice then spring in Utah, Idaho and Oregon with rain then summer when I hit Washington as it is sunny and 80 here, lol!

 

Not looking forward to winter driving.

 

Ah... so they then call you... ok
Maybe I’ll try that next time.
But then I still have the ride issue.

 

Costco refused my entire load due to it shifting....shrink wrap is not going to hold printers stacked all the way to the roof on a pallet across the country. Whoever picked this load up should have put straps or bars across.....or HP should have used 2x4's in those plastic brackets that stick to the wall. Supposed to start hometime but guess I gotta wait for them to decide what to do with this refused load.....
