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

Went to Sigman Rd in Conyers yesterday for the first time in over a year. Dunno when they did it, but they've made that lot significantly more annoying. They put a bunch of those big concrete Truck Fokker (If you'll allow me to talk briefly about WWI German aircraft) blocks directly in the path of the only way to sight-side back into door #1. So you can only blind-side into it now, which is all kinds of fun at night. To say nothing of the large piles of lumber they've got blocking the fence line.

And they've made the parking lot one-way, so you have to leave via the back gate. Sat there at the front gate for a good minute waiting for it to open before I figured that out.

F-. Do not recommend.

 

After I got unloaded in Auburn,they sent me about 180 miles northeast to pu wreaths, going to 5 different cemeteries around Richmond,for the fallen servicemen.

Wreaths across America was the name of the charity,it was a real honor pulling this one.

 

I was there couple months ago I think and just played yard jockey dropping my empty then pulled my loaded trailer out of 5 and dropped it then put empty into 5. Wasn't even going to attempt door one.

 

Alas, my loaded trailer was in Door #1, and none of the other doors were empty.

 

Our last load with Abilene was out of there. I put a trailer in door 2 while there was a trailer in door 1 and 3. I thought those blocks would be in the way, but turns out they were not. That place will definitely test your skills.

 

Two stop pickup broker load going to GA from CA. First stop easy peasy, second stop....in a neighborhood with no truck signs everywhere and had use common sense over gps to get to second pickup. Getting out of here should be fun, lol!

 

Left the yard yesterday morning with that Aleris Ashville,Oh load.

Got unloaded this morning,and they sent me another Aleris load,about 130 miles away,that delivers anytime by 230pm tommorrow,right next to Jackson,Ms.

Really like these Aleris runs,there heavy,but it's easy in and out.

 

I see the “knight companies” got a raise, does that include Abilene?
