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

Thanks, I should have recognized the office from far away. I agree with you

 

Did you get paid for the deadhead miles????

 

Think my power steering pump is going out. As long as I'm going straight or it's getting fuel, it turns easy. If not, I can barely turn it at all. You know how we hook up to the loaded trailers at Gatorade then after have to turn right on the one side, .....yeah well....this morning, I couldn't make the turn. Had to pull up and back up about 5 times. So that combined with no a/c in the front, and a bunch of slack in the fifth wheel....I need a shop bad! Went in violation today waiting on my road call to come to me. The landing gear was stuck. One side would go up, the other would not. 14hrs to do 500 miles. That's terrible

 

Try pressing the clutch pedal and revving it up a bit to get your wheels turned in a tight spot. The KW I drive does the same thing.

 

Our trucks are automatic. No clutch

 

Put it in neutral then

 

I know I'm late in this, but I asked the people in wytheville this very question. The response I got.... "Well, they have to load something" ...that's why there is reefers at Gatorade

 

I'll trade you my day for yours. Woke up in Colton for my first stop in Lake Forest at 9am. Claw through L.A. to get up west of Santa Barbara for the final stop at 2. Got dead'd back to Colton. 150 miles, nearly 5 hours. I had 22 minutes left on my 11 when I got stopped.

Though, to be fair, the views of downtown and the coast from that long ride up 101 and back were pretty righteous.

 

Yes.
