Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

701, 711, 708. Miles Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Made it to Bellemont AZ last night. Woke up with 425 miles to delivery. Will be there at 10:30 for my 11am appt.

 

I was wrong, I got here at 10:32 instead of 10:30. I must be loosing it.

 

They put me in timeout.

 

You would think so, instead they backed me right in and had me empty in an hour and a half. Then in the infinite wisdom I was given a drop and hook at our drop yard 4 miles away with a load of produce going to London Ky, with all of 14 hours left on my 70. I don't start picking up hours until midnight Wednesday night. I should make it to Albuquerque for a swap tomorrow night. That will end my 70. Not bad though, I left the house 3pm last Wednesday, and when I finish tomorrow I will have 4150 miles in 7 days.

 

Sitting in Barstow done for the day. I got my hours all figured out.....I think. I have enough time on my 70 to get to Albuquerque. I'll leave here at 2am local time. I'll be in Albuquerque about 5pm local time tomorrow with about 20 minutes left on my clock. At midnight Wednesday night I pick up 6hours, 5 hours later I will have 70 hours, I think I'll go the reset route. This will be only the third time since I'm here I've had to reset on the road. But for what I've done since leaving the house it will be worth it. Plus the fact dispatch is sending me out my new trainee via another truck, this will mean we both will have all of our hours.
