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

Please... let’s not be making suggestions.
I can see one at the Shop Window...
I can see one at the Dispatch Window...

 

Hey... are you still here?
I’m back on the Yard after dinner.

And just where the HECK do we park???
Green Trucks are EVERYWHERE!!!

And what’s with all the trucks in the Drivers Spot that are parked nose first instead of backed in??? Looks pretty sad...

 

Really? Do they Wax the Truck too?
I might tip if they wax my ride ... lol

 

That's how the shop guys park 'em when they're done working on 'em, and that's how the wash bay guys park 'em when they're done washing 'em.

 

Doing Randoms in the Bronx now eh? lol

 

LOL ... so almost HALF of the Trucks in the Drivers lot has been in the shop... or washed... now that’s a great statistic... lol ... all the working rigs are OTR... lol

 

I had 6 DM in my two + year's with Abilene. Who is your new DM?

 

Well, ya just let the cat out of the bag, so it’s not really remaining quiet! LOL

No. I’ll be back sometime in the morning. Probably around 9 or so. It’s kinda nice being home in my own bed every night.

I haven’t seen this many trucks and trailers on the yard in a while. Not even in the frenzy of Christmas. And people are just dropping the trailers and parking anywhere and everywhere. I have been wondering why the locals are even picking up loads and bringing them in. There’s nowhere to put them.

 

I’ve got a friend who has had 14 - Yes, 14 - in his 6 years here. I had 3. One I had for only 4 months. The 2nd, 2.5 years. And the 3rd, 2.5 years. All of my changes came from me requesting a different DM. Except this last time when I became local. But, the guy currently running the day to day is super. Too bad he’s getting ready to switch and be an account rep.

 

Shop usually does that, but that's not to dismiss the drivers who do it as well.

Edit: completely missed where Extreme beat me to the punch again.
