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

LOL ... beat me to it. Yeah, it would work on a KW. Basically the same hood catches as the shakers.

 

Welp, sometimes no matter how well you plan, things don't always work out. Ran the last 459 mile leg of this to Plainfield IN figuring to hit the flying J on the south 465 loop for a shower and laundry. But it's closed for renovation. So I picked this dinky pilot about a 1/2 mile away. At least I'll get a shower if they have one. It's so small I'm not sure yet .... lol

12 miles from target with a 10am LUL. Oh what shall I do with all this time?

If anyone gets a broker load coming here, it's shown as OHL Warehouse at 1101 Witaker road. It's full name is Ozburn Hessey Logisics and it's 1100. For anyone looking down at it on Google maps. It's next to a walmart DC.

 

Actually u can release the hood on a volvo while locked out. Its tricky

 

Cool. Sooooo .... instead of "it's tricky" .... enlighten us please.

 

Came off hometime to a deadhead up to chester,with a load delivering at a Walmart in Tx for tomorrow.DM on vacation,have a feeling this weeks gonna suck.

 

Finally got in. KW's are too easy to break into, now that I know how to do it. Looking for a place for an emergency key.

Sitting at the Flying J in Tucumcari, NM awaiting the trainer team to swap trailers. Then back to Memphis after a reset. As much as I ran recap when I first soloed out, I'm finding it extremely difficult to do lately. Now, where to reset....?

 

Reset where your at,if your off duty,no need to restart the clock to find another place.

 

Yeah, after a quick executive meeting, we voted to stay put.

 

So, I walk in this dinky Pilot and not only do they have 5 showers and 3 were available (that felt good), but they have laundry too! Score!!

I've never seen a pilot with laundry before. But it is a packed postage stamp and I feel if want the laundry, it'll be a after midnight thing.

On my trip here I played leapfrog up 55 all the way from Stafford through Cuba with a convoy of empty army flatbeds. Must have been 20 or so. I passed em on the down hills and got passed right back on the ups. After gaining the lead and a few hours later I park here. 10 minutes later who comes along? Yep, the whole convoy. (This little nutshell got pretty crowded) LOL.

They recoginized me and we spoke fo a few minutes. Pretty cool.

 

Not all Pilots have laundry facilities, and not all Loves have showers. Ignorant, but true.

That is the main reason why I try to hit Flying J.
