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

Ok... communication is hard, I know I know...

After coming here Thursday night, some other driver grabbed my load Friday morning... waiting since then on the customers lot... sending in a few QC messages... and four total phone calls trying to get another load... I finally PC to the local Loves to fuel and shower and just hang out here....

Yup, that’s when I get the call with QC followup.

“Just grab the next load out of there”

Really???

It took all that to finally tell me to just grab the next available??? While I can certainly do that... and will certainly do that... it just blows me away that it took a day and a half, four phone calls, and a few QC messages to finally get that... LOL

Speaking of Nascar.
Was it "Fed Ex" that won this year race
at Deytona, Florida?

 

Sure was, #11 with Denny Hamlin driving

 

Really digging this volvo

 

I use to live in Orlando/ Oviedo, Florida
and keep up with some events. No longer since I moved out.
I heard that in this particular race they had a greater amount of car crash.

 

Looking good!

 

The last 10 Laps along with OT took over a hour, there were 2 Red Flag stoppages and the one Wreck involved most of the Field

 

Sister to my 1813...
enjoy it and be safe

 

Nice!

 

As it turns out, HQ did not forget about me. Just as I was getting good and cozy in Wintersville,
I got a deadhead assignment back to Gatorade Wytheville, followed by another load assignment to pick up a load at Gatorade the next morning (i.e. yesterday morning) and bring it to Louisville, KY.

I thought I'd delivered to all the Gatorade plants within a day's drive of Wytheville, but Louisville was new. Didn't think much else of it until I got here. Seems that this place is a plastic recycling plant, and I've been hauling a trailer full of old bottles.

The lot is a mess, one of those dirt lots with a very thin layer of gravel and a very thick layer of potholes. And I'm watching some poor dude in a forklift jostle and bump and bounce his way all over it. Hope he's got one of those inflatable cushions on his seat. Makes my back hurt just watching him.
