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

Had a 10pm delivery last night to a refrigerated warehouse in Indy. (No, not that refrigerated warehouse in Indy. I was at the other one.) Ended up sleeping there on the yard. Got up this morning and decided a change of venue was in order. Currently at my favorite sketchy truck stop, the one off Exit 4 on the south side of Indy, across the street from the fleabag Motel 6 and the Indian restaurant. I have showered, ####, and shaved, and waiting for them to decide to send me to Groveport with this empty reefer.

 

I was close! Right company, wrong location. They're sending me and this empty reefer to Boar's Head in Forrest City, AR.

 

From Indy? #####!!!!!

 

My next trucking job, if I ever have another, won't involve reefers. It just won't.

The last 3 days pulling the noisy infernal things are making McDonald's pay look enticing. I'm thinking i would be perfect for the drive thru as I already know I look fetching in a headset.

Only McDonald's deal breaker would be if I have to deal with freight brokers. Not doing that either no matter how many free meals I get.

 

mcdonalds lol. the sad part is they are demanding $15 per hour and dont deserve it. any one of us has more skills then any of them including the "manager"

 

$15 per hour??. I was figuring on only $10 when doing the pay comparison. This week just got worse.
