Abilene Experience

I saw Slideways...he was trying to get the shop to refill his turn signal fluid. I asked him if his trainer taught him anything. He said his trainer is a jerk and all he does is take his lunch money everyday. Who is this trainer? All I know is that this dude is a huge O's fan. When I catch him I will give him a tune-up!!
Congrats Slideways!

 

We had a special assignment. HPL at Ukrops in Richmond and a non-stopper to Indy. It was a high profile run. Everyone was watching. If successful it means a new lane, dedicated, for us. The customer was tracking us through our web app where they can view location and temp of the reefer real-time. Must pickup by 1730 and deliver by 0600. 640 miles. We got to the customer at 0430. Success. Now we have a BH Groveport to pick up and run to Petersburg. Then we do the Indy run again. I may see if I can make this my dedicated run!!! Max miles and run it every other day!! I dont think Sally would like me out of the NE though. It is a perfect run for one of you guys/gals though.

 

Yep. Headed back out to Indy with Slideways. Our last trip together. Then I get Kyle on Saturday. Hes coming off Terry J's truck after finishing stage II. Supposedly for NE training. I want this Indy run. Sally as you could imagine was not to enthusiastic about my interest in the run. I guess its about feeling appreciated for our hard work and professionalism. Its something I can take some ownership in. Rising to a challenge or whatever...I hate boredom. Honestly that played into the NE thing. I need a challenge. Ice Road Truckers? Training gives me a challenge in a way too. had to put the truck into the shop today. Fuel filter warnings. Mechanic found I had a blown shock. Thanks CrossBronx !!!! New shocks on that drive axle. Great catching up and breaking bread with Johnboy.
