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

Trust me, I don't want to do that again. Last time I had it in the shop they didn't know about it. I have a PM due and I'll bring it up again. It isn't a fault the truck is storing. I will talk to Bill and have him get me another truck before the white stuff flies as I don't need to have that intensity increases going down Sandstone or elsewhere.

 

Well made it back home to Richmond was gonna take 2 days off before I got talked into taking a chicken load 2 nj Friday noon unload. On the bright side that's an extra 700 mls I can close out the week which will will be 5700 for pay period. Instead planning on being off top of the week got couple appointments. Mean while I manged to stop by the house spare some time with lil son was able 2 eat a cooked meal too. Will be heading back to the yard soon I'm kinda slow getting out the house in the mornings.

 

lol...that's funny, just got to Wytheville from Mt Top

 

Thursday I left Mt Top with a load going to TX but I was to drop it in Wytheville. When I got the bills the delivery date was Mon so I called Kimberly and told her to keep me under it unless she had different plans for me. She said that date wasn't a set date so take it to Wytheville. Never understand why some companies go more out of their way to repower loads. Got to Wytheville Thurs night and sent in an empty with 2 1/2 hours left. No info so I bedded down. Fri morning got a return to Mt Top. Was gonna call SD and have him meet me for a meal since we keep passing each other...lol. Went in to scan my paperwork and asked Steve about the load I dropped. He scratched his head too and put me back under it. SD, sorry if I screwed you up and gave ya a round trip back up to the Top. It's not hard running but a 400 mile a day mosey, is fine by me. Now I'm laying my head at the Tiger TS at the 139 on I10. Was going to go another hour and stop at my favorite restaurant at MM80 but decided to just hang here and I'll get there for lunch tomorrow, étouffée here I come. Then be at my stop tomorrow night for my drop Mon.

 

I wonder if I passed you? I'm headed back to Richmond out of TX. Went thru there yesterday evening. Ended up calling it a night at the Creek t/s in AL xit 54 on I65. Do they really have a tiger there? I saw the cage, but there was a lot of traffic eastbound.

 

Yes they really do have a tiger there. Dang thing peed on me (shut up SD I know you're laughing). Was facetiming with the family and didn't notice he turned and raised his tail til I caught him spraying and caught a couple droplets. When I was done cussing I started laughing. Life isn't complete until you've been peed on by a tiger.

You out may have passed me sometime. Fri stayed at the Petro in AL, then there at the 139 in LA now at the rest area MM692 in TX, 20 miles from the drop in Schulenburg (not sure if they have parking)

 

You have the same load I do coming out of Hazelton. I gotta boogie back home for another Dr's appt Fri. Dang blood thinner numbers were off so I have to go back every 2 weeks until they level out then back to 6 weeks.
