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

When I talked with Victor, he asked me where I like to run. I told him, "It's not where I want to run, just keep me off of I-95."

So, he'said been good about that lately. But, I've been asking for off time every two weeks lately, too. That being said, I have been to West Memphis more lately that not. Which is fine with me, except for the hornet attack last time there.

If I don't write anything up, they won't know. So, I won't write anything non emergency up in Richmond until they improve.

 

I just dropped a trailer that is going to New Jersey at the Irving USX yard a few hours ago. There's Nestlé/Purina in Okie City, too. I've had more Houston pick ups than anything so far.

 

Where are the hornets at? That way I can avoid that part of the yard.

 

On the back side of the building, where they want us to park loaded trailers, there are a couple of A frame construction barriers on the dirt right where the concrete stops. It's the SW side. The hornets have built a nest in one or both of the barricades.

So, drop on the south side, closer to MLK, or on the rock/shell on the WSW side of the lot. If you are dropping an empty, you can drop them on the north side.

 

I don't like things that sting. I got stung too much growing up. Besides hornets are especially nasty. Regular wasps are bad enough.

 

I hear ya. Twice by hornets and once by an extremely pissed off red wasp. I normally carry some wasp spray, but forgot it this time. I'll have some before we get back on the road.

 

Well, hang out on the Yard for three freaking days and you too will meet a few folks...

And you should feel honored... It took me a whole year to finally meet JB... lol

 

Ya, I hid on the yard as long as I could, but they finally found me and made me take a load.

I will have to find a better hiding place next time.

 

Ask JB about his hiding spot. It's a good one as he managed to hide from you for a year.

I have a trailer number for my hill p load to Orlando. Just did a couple laps of the yard and it isn't here. That means its gotta be at the plant where they say it is,right?.

Yeah, I'm not too confident about that either.

Sunday on I95 is going to be challenging. That much I am confident about.

 

Yes, JB has a really good hiding spot for sure.

Yup, it's just gotta be at the plant... LOL

I95 going south isn't usually a problem.
Not nearly as bad as heading north.
But everyone's experiences are different.

Hit Indiana here and calling it a day.
Six more hours to the drop... Plus traffic.
Should make for a relaxing Sunday Drive.
