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

This message is not for people who take care of their pets while on the road.

Ok, so my a/c goes out and I swap trucks. No big deal. Truck 1346 Volvo was clean and detailed too. I was sitting getting loaded when I happened to notice the smell of dog or cat piss. What the heck? Where is that coming from? Well upon my investigation I discover a 1foot by 1foot square under the table that was dry and discolored. So I grab and rag, rub the spot and smell and guess what...yep dog or cat piss. I ruled out human piss because of all the scratch marks on the interior in multiple places. This is disgusting. Wonder why your just a number? Because of this. If I owned this company I would fire you. Why would I spend money on excellent equipment for you to ruin it? I'm sorry but I believe animals do not belong in a truck. I hope the person who had this tractor lost their pet deposit. Its a shame they were so lazy they wouldn't let their pet out. Personally, I'd like to punch them right in the face you nasty rat. If your tractor is this nasty I can only imagine what your house looks like. Thank god I get out of this piss mobile tomorrow afternoon.

 

That's an easy fix BUT should have been taken care of before being put back on the line. My truck is not the cleanest but that is because of me, not my dog. I hate that smell and wet dog smell if I have to take her out when it's wet. I air my truck out, even in the winter and use what's called Ozium. My son owns a detail company so he turned me on to that. If that truck was a driver turn in it should have been inspected completely. I clean my trucks when I turn them in. Some are just lazy.

 

Driver that came out that truck just moved into a brand new 15 volvo last week saw both trucks parked side by as they was cleaning it out. I noticed truck # from behind.

 

Yep. I swapped with them once. Saw one of our guys vacuuming it out etc. 1346. I cant remember their names but the dog was a hyper little something.

 

I thought I was the only one that was issued a stinky piss truck with cigarette burns.

 

My first truck was busted. First trip out I had a few hitchikers come out of the closet. My stuff was still in my bags thank God.

 

Hey gang, just to let you know, I am in Rockwall TX in orientation with TransAm. You can keep up with me on that blog. Deuces.

 

Well whoever they are, they should be known as team nasty arse. Unfortunately, I'm still in it. Truck shop had to order parts for mine. I'm sick now. Its probably from this truck. Taking meds and going to bed. Be safe everyone.

 

Hope u feel better and good luck with the truck.

 

I came off home time and a driver meet me and I took his load to Las Vegas to a convention center. I not a fan of these cause uts usually a lot of sitting and waiting but it was 1095 miles to start my week back. I did sit at a dock for 5 hours and finally got off loaded. Finished that load and my next load is another convention load going to Maryland 2000 for the weekend. Ill be there way early and think I'll do a 34 and visit my parents. This will be my first picking up a convention load hopefully its quicker than unloading. In either cause not going to start my clock until they finish loading. Nite all.
