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

It's that whole entire "hook type area" of the state that you were to see if you were to take a look at the entire state on a map. If you were trip planning that is

 

That's a good thing then Redtwin. I am an eager learner and I would be asking whatever trainer I was to get a ton of questions. Hopefully, he would not get annoyed with that because I would just want to try and soak up as much information as I could before I would be put into my own truck into the great open roads of the U.S.. But yes, automatic transmission would probably be a Godsend after grinding gears for the most part. Haha

Patience is most definitely a virtue. Just ask my current instructors here at the school that I am in.

 

I spoke too soon. I can't find my trailer on the yard. Night dispatch says it was dropped here by a local driver at 12. I've been looking for the last 45 minutes.

Any ideas?.

 

Once I found my trailer in the shop being worked on.

 

Yup... And we will accommodate them.

 

Trip Planning??? What's that???
I just drop the address in a GPS and roll.
Are we supposed to trip plan???

 

Night Dispatch was going to call a local driver to find my trailer once... Then they discovered it was dropped by HP and not one of our boys.

 

Yes Mr. MacDad, we have been warned in class to trip plan by weight and bridge law and all of that fun stuff that is mostly all Greek to me right now, lol. Sliding the tandems, etc etc, and to never trust a GPS 100%. Well, maybe 99.999% Rand McNally truckers road atlas with laminated pages? Check.

 

I've been to Connecticut and Massachusetts a few times... Would love to run further north.

 

I actually look at both routes offered by the GPS before I roll.

Shame on you.
