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

Guess who got your MD sugar run. I did a driveby there today to find the place as pickup isn't until tomorrow. I was entertaining the thought of seeing if they would load a day early but it looked like a madhouse and I got yelled at within seconds of parking so i hightailed it out of there.

Anyone have any insider tips on picking up there?. Im at a dinky truck stop up the road but it looks like a new pilot is going in nearby.

 

Call before you head over with the carts. I did and a very annoyed receiver told me the appt was 2 days later than was listed on load info.

 

Gotta love Werner lmbo

 

When then leads situations like i had recently where a driver was sat at Richmond with no working empty reefer to take to bh so he could pick up his load.

 

Im up for shuttling drys to wytheville and reefers back to Richmond.

Just last week a driver was sitting at Richmond because there were no empty reefers for him to go get his bh load.

 

Hope they are nothing like that place in Orlando i delivered to yesterday. 3 hours to unload 6 coolers.

I was absolutely fuming as I had to get to jax that night and my 14 was slowly circling the drain while I 4 traffic was doing what it does best every afternoon.

Just for comparison i delivered 4 in Boca this morning and they were unloaded in 20 minutes which included them pulling all the nails and sweeping the trailer floor until spotless.

 

I got as far as the second set of scales and it was on that lot i was planning to park and ask in that little trailer when I got chased away. It was a hell of a long shot asking about loading a day early so I didn't mind leaving.

On the way over i was thinking looking for a camping spot there but one whiff of the place put that idea out of my mind.
