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

Today’s Math Example...

Scheduled LLD at 9pm
Actual LLD at 10am

13 total hours... less 2 hour grace is 11 hours
Technically got a 10 hour reset in soooo...
11 hours less 10 hours break...

Ya, betting it’s going to be a 1 hour paid... lol

but I’ll let you know...

I have submitted more detention in these last few weeks than in my entire time here... lol ... and I have passed on a few that I technically could have submitted but didn’t really impact my drive time.

 

Now that’s funny!

 

Drove today 10. + hours and park for the day at a Pilot. A few minutes later one of our sister company the driver pulled out of a parking space with no care whatsoever and hit the truck on the right side... didn’t stop and left the truck stop! There are 3 witnesses me being one of them.
The owner of the truck has tanks us a million times for taking down the information of the runaway driver.

 

Had a whole 8 hours to drive today after the 5 hours wait to get the trailer tire replaced. What a day....got a light volvo load and cruising between 60-65 up the hills on 40 and so many idiots decided to cut me off today. They were going .5-1 mph faster than the truck in front of them and going about 35-40 mph pulling out in front of me right when Im about to pass them....760 miles from Reno, yeah Im not making it til Tuesday morning to drop thanks to tire fiasco.

 

Yeah, Im going to start doing that since we are in shop connect at Love's anyway. Dumbest thing going to using Knight breakdown.

 

Heading to Jax today/tomorrow and then home for a few days off this Truck. Putting the house on the market here soon so I’m sure my R&R will involve honey do projects... {sigh}

 

Yeah, not one of those ones that runs off on vacation all the time! Sorry, couldn’t resist!

 

Hey ya'll...thread's a little on the long side here so I thought I'd ask...What are the company trucks governed at ? And do they have manuals ? thanks BT
