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

I've been working my tail off all week. My body shut me down today, but I am still exhausted. But, the "know-it-alls" in Richmond won't understand.

 

So, my load from Richmond to WM went fine but my hopes and dreams of running west for the first time since my first week here were quickly dashed with a BH load out of Forrest City going to Brooklyn.

However, try as I might, due to traffic, construction and an underpowered truck that STILL doesn't run right, I'm not going to make it. Ran it flat out best I could but I had to send a QC telling them no way. I can drop it in Wytheville by 10:30am for a repower. Best I can do.

Have 61 days out and I'm ready to put in for my 10 off but only because I have some serious thinking to do here now. It seems newbies can run like the wind coast to coast non stop but others with more time under their belt can't. I guess favorites (or favors?) play a big part here? Anyway, add in all the compensations I should have gotten (based on everything told to me by pretty much everyone) and haven't received a penny of, which now totals well over 1.2k, and I'm rather disappointed in the whole affair now. Throw crappy miles as icing on top and .... well ..... you know.

Anyway, have a great night all. I'm not.

 

You aren't the only one getting dumped on, bro. I'm afraid now to even put in for home time again.

 

We all have family's, but with 5 mouths to feed I got to stay busy. I wish sometimes we drivers could get that "salary" then it wouldn't be a big deal if we sit or not. Or even better, pay us by the hour lol. I'd hate to have to use my ace in the hole this early in the game. Be safe all

 

Did you log in to that paychex services? I cant log in and I forgot to ask bout it. I really need to see my paystub coz this check seems like too much deduction. Haven't seen any of my paystub since I work here lol. I need to see. I have the same case like you. Single no kids / dependent.

 

Just think next year we get two weeks paid vacation.

 

Yea Matthew is currently a cat 4. Hard to say where it will end up going.

 

I was talking more new to trucking all together and not just this company. But I hear ya.
