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

Sorry Rebel Chick please communicate with the owners about your poor start. They are good people. Make it happen don't let it happen.

 

I will. Got a load out of USX terminal to Wally World in the morning, then picking up labels for Sabra. That will get me home either Wednesday night or Thursday morning. I pretty much still have a positive outlook for this company. If the people hadn't been so nice about everything, I think I would feel very differently. I will be ending up with about 2200 miles for the week even with 2 days off. Not too shabby. I had 1300 or so last week even with being stuck in Somerset for 4 days. So, all in all, not too bad.

 

They want 2,800 to 3,500 for you so go for it.

 

I did get my load back. I am going to speak with them when I do get in. It has been a little bumpy, but I'm sure it's going to get better.

 

Thanks, Skydiver, I can't wait to actually get a full week in to see how many miles I can actually get!

 

Its all about communication, not using Qualcom sometimes is a must.

 

My best is 4,500 I like to be home on weekend near Richmond so 3 to 3.5 is normal

 

Sitting here at the Markham terminal reminds me what a mottly crew most of USX is. HAHAHA

 

Trying to get back to Richmond for my hometime. Truck is not cooperating. I have given up on calling breakdown. I just let it sit for 10 minutes and it's usually good for another 50 miles. I'm only 130 miles away and have hours to get there, but truck said it was tiered! LOL Called Scott and there is a different truck there for me when I get in tomorrow. Thank goodness!!! I almost got hit today because of this truck so am really looking forward to getting out of it. Stay safe y'all!

 

Good deal. I hope they send that truck to Volvo and get it fixed, so the poor driver that gets it next doesn't have to deal with everything you've had to endure. Enjoy your home time.
