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

I need help. Where's hill phoenix #2? I got to be there by 12noon tomorrow. 1301 Battery Brooke Parkway

 

If you go out of Abilene yard turn left onto Willis Rd. go over the railroad tracks and turn right, I think it's Coach Rd follow that down to Battery Brook. It will be a left turn. It has a sign for an industrial park but I don't remember the name. Hp will be on the right. Hope this helps.

 

Hit up dispatch, if you will arrive early, you can drop it, or maybe even drop it at the yard...

 

Well gang, my career came to an abrupt end at Abilene when the fuel hose followed my truck out of the fuel island (slight exaggeration). I was so preoccupied with topping off a reefer tank that was slightly less than 3/4 tank that I forgot to take the hose out of the passenger side tank after I fueled the reefer. I hadn't realized I done it until our safety director showed me the video over an hour later. Sure am gonna miss everybody there. I had a blast, but now have to try to find somewhere else to blossom when that time comes or if that time comes. I wish you all the very best. Maybe if I can put it all together, maybe I can come back in a year or so. Until then, Deuces.

 

Sorry to hear that George. (Moment of silence) I hope you well in all your future endeavours.

 

Sorry to hear that. Wish you the best. Have u and family in my prayers.

 

George, I'm really sorry to hear about this. I never got to meet you, but I enjoyed reading your posts. Your ears might have been burning this past week as JohnBoy and I talked about you quite a bit. He really speaks highly of you. I wish you well. You have a great attitude and that is a great and rare quality. My best to you.

 

George! Sorry to hear this. Hopefully you will return! Until then, God speed to you.

 

Yeah George, you did a great job, wishing you well.

 

Had a HP to Strongsville (Cleveland), OH, got to the address on the BOL opened the doors and bumped the dock early. Went inside to find a manager and see if the cooler guys were there early. He looks at me and says I'm at the wrong place. Nope I'm where I'm supposed to be. He said it was probably for the new store down the road. Yay!!!!!! Call the contractor, voicemail. Called Harvey and he said he had the same info I have. I know but I was just hoping. Headed the direction the store manager told me and was creeping looking for a construction site. Found one but wasn't sure so I spyed a Marcus store and pulled in there. Asked the cart guy what that building was and he said Giant Eagle. Woo hoo.

Had a backhaul out of GenPak and that was perfect. They finished it when I got there so I hooked and booked. Down at the AA on 35 as I wouldn't of found parking if I went any further. I'll boogie about 0600 unload in Richmond and head to the yard with just enough hours to make it home for my dr's appt Fri morn.
