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

You get people complaining about the room, not enough towels, the remote doesn't work, not enough night life and so on. Then you get people complaining that all you are fed is a Subway sandwich, really? Are people that poor that they need to rely on a new employer to feed them for 2 days? I've heard it all and just laugh, if that's all people have to worry about, it's no wonder this industry has gone down the crapper.

 

Pete, I haven't heard of anyone hitting the bottle to excess, but that's not saying it hasn't or won't. All one needs to do is read this blog.

 

Got the call to roll at 7:30 this morning. I was up in Melbourne at noon and loaded by 1:30. Right now I'm parked taking my 10 in Hardeeville SC. I'll drop this load in the Richmond yard about 1 tomorrow afternoon. It delivers in Washington DC Friday at 10am at a convention center. By then I hope to be headed west. I'm parked next to my hero Bman. He's on his way to Daytona for tomorrow. We'll both be leaving at 5am. Nite nite all.

 

Made it to Hardeeville Wednesday and met Bman. Decided to call it a night there then was up at 4am and rolled out. I was 7 hours from Richmond. About 10 am my reload came over the QC. Drop and hook at Sabra and be in Shelbyville In for 10 am Friday. After dropping my load in the yard then hooking an empty I went and picked up my new load, not without an issue, like them telling us its on one trailer, then spending an hour with them trying to figure out exactly what trailer they loaded it on. After watching them do whatever it is they do, we found the correct trailer, of course everyone involved was blaming someone else, and there's me, just wanting to leave. I just woke up at the Beckley service plaza. Getting ready to head out and make this drop at 10am.
