From Day One - Abilene Motor Express (Richmond, Wytheville, VA)

No got one of the new trucks with the bumper guards on the front. The truck I was in had less then 200K on it but there getting rid of some of the higher mileage trucks and movin people into newer trucks. There taking about 30 or so older trucks and selling them. That's one nice thing about Abilene.... they are always buying new trucks and trailers.
picked up a load off the yard that delivers in Atlanta Monday morning, do I guess I will leave the house Sunday night sometime. Enjoy the weekend.

 

Well in 8 days made it back home bringing in 3,908 miles for the week with one down cuz of 34hr reset. Off next couple days.

 

That's a good week. Enjoy your time off.

 

Hey yall, I will be headed back to Richmond come Monday morning to finish out my physical and test drive. BP down to 112/64. Meds working really well.
Hope everyone is doing good! Hope to see wjejwan23 at the terminal so we can meet.
Take care and be safe as always!

 

If you don't mind my asking, what was your original BP? Mine runs about 128/75 or something. My doctor doesn't seem to worry about it so I haven't been. I went to Richmond to talk to Kurtis and Sally & am scheduled (hopefully) for orientation on the 25th. The way they talked last Tuesday, it sounded like a done deal if I can pass the physical & driving test. The physical and their agility test don't bother me, but I've never driven an automatic, so that should be interesting!

 

I'm gonna try to stop by at lunch time, grab some groceries for next week & maybe give my truck a bath. I'll DM u my info

 

They're easy. I must tell you though, the first few times you come to a stop, you will probably go right for the clutch with your left foot out of habit. I know I did.

 

You will really love the automatic when you are in rush hour traffic in (insert any big city here).

 

Right! I was doing that in my personal vehicle whenever I was at home!

 

Delivered my load in Ga. reloaded in Ga. delivered in Va.. Picked up Shawn and grabbed a load off the yard headed down to Lakeland Fl. for a drop. Be safe and have a productive week.
