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

Thanks for your time in this. My wife and I set up our IRA's and other investments years ago when we sold our business and commercial property we owned. Fortunately our portfolio with Ameriprise Financial has been and continues to grow. Our investment councilor and attorney has set up the disbursement as a fiscal year instead of a calendar year so our tax bite won't be as bad. I still need another avenue to stear money into. God only knows we pay more then enough in taxes every year.

 

Now, back on subject, I had the pleasure of meeting evomalo at Gatorade Monday. I did pick up a load going to Supervalu in Mechanicsville. It was on a dry van and over gross. I elected to not deal with going back and ran with it. I went around the scale in Roanoke and dropped the trailer.

I'm going to agree with RC in this, our planners at times need to get on the same planet with everyone else. How can they send a QC message about no reefers, then send a reefer in there to get loaded?

And the loading deal there, they load what, 50-100 trailers a day, and you over load a trailer by 2000 pounds, really, first time doing this?

This is why I have a little calendar in my truck with an end date, every day, the first order of business is another X to touchdown.

 

It was. In my limited time out here, I came up with this observation about that joint, they can't add. I just hold this steering wheel and rely on others to think for me, but I think they put an extra pallet of piss water in the trailer I picked up. If we were set up to get an automatic $25 to go back and rework an over gross load then I would, but like you stated, in this particular case, my time was more important then free work.
