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

Well, sitting in RI on a Hill Phoenix delivery for tonight. After taking 2 days to make a 1 day run, thank you I95er's. Over 12 hrs for 522 miles. (sigh)

 

Hi John,

Haven't had the pleasure of speaking to you yet but really grateful for your thread here. 3 in 67k?? That seems rather excessive. Any ideas on what's causing them to go bad?

 

Well, it finally had to happen... Heading to boars head Brooklyn... Ugh.

Thanks @JohnBoy for the reminder about the info on QC... I had totally forgot about that option. My RM GPS was routing me 100+ miles around NYC to get there... Probably one of those mis marked bridges giving it issues.

Wish me luck boys and girls!!!

 

Pack a bullet proof vest Lmao doors locked look straight ahead

 

Darn... I knew I forgot my bullet proof vest at home with my winter gear... Aargh

 

Pick up 278 go cross verzorra bridge disregard the trucks get off at Atlantic sign, use the center lane going under overpass to exit flushing Ave, turn right make go couple miles left turn into Morgan then next left onto Tracy I believe which u will be facing straight ahead to bullpen and park.

 

I used to go one more block on Flushing to Knickerbocker, then make a left and then take the first left onto THAMES (not Tracy). The turns seemed just a bit easier to make going to Knickerbocker.

 

@MidWest_MacDaddy hope your excursion into the bowels of hell goes okay. LOL During the day, BH seems to get you in/out pretty quickly. Make sure once you bump the dock and get situated you get on dispatch to get your next load assignment (unless you have to take a break) so as soon as you get unloaded you can get the heck out of there.

 

Came off a much needed home time to another fubar of a load. One of those that goes to Fort Campbell KY. Which in itself isn't a bad place to go, but here's how it went: Texted my fm to ask what they wanted me to do at 8 am. At 830 I was told to bobtail over to Va Beach to get an mty (35 miles). Never even got the dh move until I got there at 945. Got load assignment to pu at AAFES in Newport News. So, boogie on over there to get it AANNDD it wasn't scheduled to be ready until 6 pm. Had to go down the street to a 7-11 and park on the street. So I sat from 12-4 when the load was finally ready. Poor planning on their part. Had they given me the FULL picture up front I would've just stayed home a little longer. Just have to shake my head sometimes.

 

Yeah this week has been the worst for me,tired of having to get on dispatch,how bout you plan me for once.
