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

Hi runningman,
I've sent you two messages, but they don't show up in my sent messages file so I'm not sure if you have received them.

 

Yes ma'am I got it. Sending you a reply.

 

Sitting here at a Stop Shop (who are they trying to kid, it is the Giant symbol) in Oceanside, NY (Staten Island) with a HP load. When I wrote the directions down from the cust info macro something didn't seem to jive. Well when I got onto the Verazano it came to me, these are 4 wheeler directions!!! So since I was past the of no return I had to work my way all through Brooklyn! Plus Harvey told me to get there as soon as possible because they were waiting on me. I get here and find out the crew f doesn't come in til 10. He has a message on his voicemail from me now..lol. Got to wave at the house again on my way up here grrrrr. Now i'll have 2 hours to get out of the city and only pick up 6 tomorrow. Have to go to Pella in Gettysburg and take it to the yard. Sent a message saying i'll be there Wed or someone can come get it from Rutgers Glen tomorrow when I run out of hours.

 

Ruthers Glen. Dang phone. Scouring my brain to think how far i'll get out of here in 2 hours or just camp out here.

 

Anyone going to be at the Richmond yard Wednesday? I figure it's time to put faces to names.

 

Sittin up at Dale City rest area with 2 min on my 70. I figure i'll be there around 9.

 

Pulled a load out Perdue was told to grab load and get moving would swamp out along the way. Needless to say I still have this load miss app was @ 1am ran out of hour 1030. Hopefully krogers can work me in, timely manner once I arrive.

 

Got empty this morning after a little confusion of what side of the bldg they wanted me on. Before I was empty I had a dispatch loading in Luzerne, Pa going to Volvo in Dublin, Va for a drop by 1000 in the morning. I must say it seems like they have really done a good job as of late preplanning loads. Is it just me? Be safe!

 

Nope, it's everyone I think. I also think they are getting over some of the re-organization/growing pains. Even with the short hops I had last week, I had pre-plans even before getting to the consignee all week. Except for the one day that Kimberly went home sick, and even then when I called because I hadn't heard from anyone in 4 hours (not for lack of trying on my part), I had a load for the next morning. Actually was kind of glad because I had been running pretty hard and was happy to have a few hours to regroup.
