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

Believe me, I do now. I am still in a state of disbelief that this jerkoff had the balls to get into someone's truck and try to move it. Then get pissed at me because the brakes wouldn't release. He had no idea about how to release the hill assist on the dash.

The delivery in Denver is off exit 280. Go north to 51st ave and turn left. They are down on the right about a quarter of a mile. It's your typical Kroger owned facility. They have a staging area to park. I got there an hour early and finally got a door an hour and a half after my appointment time, then waited an hour and a half after getting empty for my paperwork. If you stay at the Flying J at the 285 you are a short 5 miles to the delivery, but good luck finding a parking place in that joint.

 

This outta be interesting, I have my popcorn and am waiting with baited breath to hear how this works out......lol. Where and when are you dropping in Texas? I have a drop Sunday at noon in Plainview then Monday at 8am in Sanger.

 

Johnboy........#1318, the green one with the dull yellow lettering.

 

Miss you guys.... Gonna start a thread this wend regarding my new gig.... I'm lovin it. Be safe!

 

Cool, count me in!

 

JB, I'm gonna put that in the directions thread. Can you take a 10 in the staging area? There is also a Walmart at 286. This is a 2 stop, 2nd stop is at Tropicana.

 

I'm not sure about taking a 10 there, I'm thinking not. Not familiar with that second drop you have.

 

Its possible only if u can find a spot, while waiting and once u get unloaded. There's a curve along the street as well but parking is limited. There's not much parking I arrived there 8hrs early with a 3am appt. You can check in with guard shack they will call u once a dock is open, I ended up deadhead to Colton, ca to drop off the reefer. I'm in 1268. Like jb said there is a flying j but it's a clutter box

 

Clutter box? Is that what you wanna call it? I got there at 1630 local and there were trucks all over the place. Went to go to Sapp Bros but saw a spot at the Walmart around the corner so I took it. Can't afford to go to CA. Have a dr's appt Fri morning and only have 6 hrs for tomorrow and pick up 6 Tue. Pick up 10 1/2 Wed so I have to head back east.

 

So I'm here at King Sooper at 0400 with a 0400 appt, parked in the staging area, check in and they tell me to go park in the street. Why do I have this feeling I'm not gonna make my 0900.
