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

Cushy job!

 

I remember a few years back, having to take 7500 lbs of pillows from QVC.Rocky Mount back to Mypillow.com in Shakopee MN. Enjoyed the trip, but they were not very happy to see me!

 

LOL ... Pun intended?

 

Of course.

 

They probably weren't expecting 7500 lbs of pillows to be arriving on their doorsteps....

 

And does anyone really “want” to see product being returned? ... “so we just loaded this last week, now we have to unload it this week”

But hey, at least it’s a light n fluffy #7.5k

 

Well, here I sit about 5 hours out from my kent, wa delivery when I get my reload. Pickup in Seattle going to Houston for next Thursday. Pickup, do a reset, then take off. Last 3 days I've had over 700 miles in a day. I know some people love running west, but honestly this is boring to me. Driving hours and hours and hours in nothing.

@RebelChick that Gatorade is all dried up except a couple loads a week. That's how I got put on this west coast run myself. Not complaining about the miles, it's just a boring drive.

@Silverdriver, bro that sucks. My reload is a broker load. I haven't called yet for info. I will tomorrow morning once empty, but it may be a "cheap and heavy" too. Oh, p.s. my wipers are still sticking. They about to get on my last nerve.

When is time change? I'm all messed up. This time difference out here makes me feel like I'm not getting any rest. Another thing, I guess the only way these states out here make money, is by pulling you in to weigh station. All I been getting is red lights. Really? 8k pound load, 2019 truck, elog, 76 series trailer????? What do they possibly think they can get me on. Plus I wasted $370 of the company's money to buy chains. Why a waste? Because I'll never use them.

 

Really? They only ran me out west a few times but I loved the change... every State has its own feel... it’s own identity... felt refreshing to step out of the norm now and then... almost like a free mini vacation...

As to the time difference, I set my “Truck Time” to Eastern Time Zone and never touched it... just adjusted the drop off and pick up times accordingly... so ya, the sun may rise and set at different times but my time never changed.

Looking forward to certain aspects of returning.

 

It's this weekend that the clock goes back an hour, 5speed. Hope that extra hour.helps you out, bud!
