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

If so, Thank You for proving my point...

It doesn't, or didn't, read that way and the info then flowed down through the grapevine...

 

Yes, it's good to have options and flexibility.

 

That note in wytheville about Walmart is specifically for that Walmart. About 2 years ago the local LEO got a hair up their keester and started ticketing/towing trucks from the shopping center. Thus the reason you will never find me at that Walmart.

 

Worked out! Just dropped it at the West Memphis yard

 

I had a Miami to PA broker load. Loaded Friday deliver on Monday and they called me at least twice a day. Always the same questions...whats my location...will I make delivery on time...what temp is my reefer set to.

Also dispatch told me they would not give Abilene the load info until I called the broker and they spoke to me personally. Where am I, when can I reach shipper, what kind of trailer do I have, how many load locks etc.

Murder suspects are probably interrogated less.

Schneider broker loads require the phone app tracker. If you refuse then they keep calling you.

 

Yea I had to. Shipper wanted a certain pickup number. Abilene sent 3 along with the load but none were it, but on my fourth try I got it.

 

Really? I've not ever been able to get the guy at Schneider to answer the phone so I just run it and send my information like normal to Abilene. Couldn't even tell you what the guy's name is since it sounds like he has a bunch of crap in his mouth while he's talking in his message.

 

... that's ok McChatty. You can give me 1/2 the referal fee for the rejection.

 

They started that because Walmart, Lowes and even the Food Lion right there looked like a truck stop at night, and even more so the next morning. Garbage everywhere, signs and landscape run over, etc. A shame they went totally nuts on no parking enforcement but drivers have no one to blame but themselves...

 

The note about parking at Walmart in the Wytheville office is a recommendation. Just like a recommendation on a speed sign on a curve. But, Wytheville walmart specifically will ticket you. A jackhole changed their oil there and let it all drain in the parking lot (manager told me, because I asked). I shop at this location regularly because I can drive my car there from the yard. I think parking at Walmart is ok, just have to use common sense about it.
