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

Old timer truckers are the best. Senior driver in front of me. Goes to check in, lady says come back at 2130. This is for a 2200 appointment. Dude is old. Using a cane to walk, so he just sits down at the table and waits. 10 mins later, same woman, still not 2130 says "give me your paperwork and I'll check you in" I'm guessing she only did this cause she seen his condition. Old dude looks up at her and says " come back at 2130". Lol. I bout busted out laughing. It was funny, but I bet he'll be here at this receiver all night now.

 

Geezzz. I bet I'm here all night too. 45k pounds of cat litter loaded on the floor. Not even on slipsheets. I'm glad I don't have to unload that

 

Why wouldn't that be shipped on pallets? Seems like alot of work for no reason

 

Maybe because with no pallets it was at max weight and pallets would have made it too heavy?? I'm not sure. I'm just glad it's them not me.

 

Good thing we are no touch... LOL

 

That's a blurry line. I unloaded boars head about 3 weeks ago in oilville va. My first time there, but people there said it's "Always" driver unload. Not too bad. The 5 pallets with a manual pump jack and hand stack about 30 cases. Guess how much money I made for it?........ $0

 

Ok boys and girls... I really need your help in dealing with this issue... And this happened while I am OTR too... so my ability to respond is severely hampered ... Please Advise...

From my wife today;

"That’s all I needed!!!! ...I just got back home to find four Police Officers in our house looking for something, acting like lunatics!!!!! Even searching through my underwear drawers which was rather embarrassing!!! They checked inside our bed mattress, even tearing it apart!!

When I asked if they had a search warrant, they answered completely hysterically: "Where did you hide it?? We know it's here somewhere!!"

Then I watched one of the Police officers look at his mobile phone and then he shouted: " Stop it! We are in the wrong house!!!!

The Pokémon is next door!!!!"



I tell you...

I just don't know what to do about her.

 

My 6 year old twins love playing that game

 

What that guy said

 

Touch base with @RebelChick ...
I hear tell that's negotiable...

I have helped a few dock workers but I get the feeling I was being more used than helpful.

At one broker load I told them we are no touch when I was informed that I would be helping load the trailer and so I called in to be advised... Before I could get an answer about pay, etc, she came out to tell me they needed an answer, since I didn't get one in time, as they were closing, I left the yard.

Ended up on a different load heading south.

The funny part is they had BIG signs everywhere as to all the personal safety stuff needed... Of which I carry none... So the loaned me a hard hat, safety glasses, and a vest. (Which does happen at several locations)

But I guess the fact that I was in shorts (req long pants), tee shirt (req long sleeve), and no safety toe shoes didn't bother them one bit and their "safety posters".... LOL

But thank Heavens he has that yellow vest to wear inside the trailer... LOL
