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

@JohnBoy prayers for the little one know what it's like to have pup's be more than pet but family.

 

@KD5AXG hope all goes well with your in law all in my prayers.

 

Yup.... LOL!!

All good and welcomed advice.

 

I approached you at the pumps in Pontoon Beach, GL1800, I went with a more local company to that area, DOT FOODS. I thank you for the advice, Abilene was one of four companies on my short list. Safe miles to you Redtwin

 

LOL .. Yea, right? I was glad actually. Saved me from sitting for 3 or 4 hours waiting to leave. I just don't do sitting well. Well, glad until I got there that is. All went South (Miami Beach as it were) from there ... lol

 

The "tight" South Miami Beach Hill Phoenix run.

(Ignoring that 4 wheeler with no place to go and a cop trying to back her back out )

What this first shot doesn't show is I'm actually facing the entry and up on the sidewalk (Tandems crammed forward) to clear a container on the left at the mouth of the entry. From here I had to back up and jack the truck to the point my air flanges were about 3/4" from the trailer.


Once the jack was done I had to proceed forward with my right steer staying up on that curb there to get completely clear of that container (by inches). Thing was, my right mirror was now roughly an inch from the wall on the right. lol

This mirror shot shows that container.

This one the right mirror close to the wall. Steers still on that curb ... lol

View of the exit from the dock.

The rest just looking back at all that room. LOL


Professionals (and the slightly crazy ) only need apply. LOL
Then I got to unload the trailer myself. Oh what fun!

 

Forgot one. This one shows another 4 wheeler going nowhere and a guy about to tell her so. And the street I came off of to get to this place. You can see I had to back (that jack) onto the opposing sidewalk for room. No other way in there.



Anyway, after all that I got a nice tame load of tall paper rolls from Riceboro GA and dropped it in the yard at 8:40 this morning. Seems once again it's a wait on freight so I put the truck in the shop for new steers and a break adjustment. They were getting a bit grabby on lite loads or bobtail and needed to be loosened a touch.

 

Is that a phone camera?, pics are really sharp.

 

Yep. S7 Edge. It really does a nice job in standard mode. Can't wait to play with the "Pro mode" (whatever that is) ... lol
