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

Ever thought about buying a yard stick and sticking the tanks old school style

 

I wish. After my delivery this morning I pulled 46 nails. Drive across town, set almost 4 hours for my pickup and now sitting for the night at the J. A good 1474 miles away from my delivery Monday morning. I believe I have enough time.

 

Been going back through a lot of posts I seemed to have missed. Not trying to open the subject again but, I've only had one issue with my fuel card and that was due to the EFS system being down for about 2 hours. That's not Abilene's fault by any measure. Couple hours down the road and all was fine. Just my 2c

 

You can also just tap the tanks from top to bottom. (I use a small 9/16 box end wrench) Pretty easy to hear the sound change at the fuel level.

 

You actually counted them? ...

 

Always, just before I toss them onto the employee lot. Hahaha. Just kidding.

 

Im ready to call this week done....so due to truck/garage issues monday daytime hp load to nys became nightime bh to brooklyn. That went well and got back wednesday am and got a bh load for wednesday night to long island. The load still wasnt ready at 8am today when dispatch came back to work. So was given a 2 stopper from chesapeake to new jersey. Only empty van to be had was at sabra. On qc both stops listed as same place. Sent in a msg, will call tomorrow to make sure fixed. Called the first stop to see when they could unload me and turns out they were told by someone id be there around 7pm....930 was gonna be the best i could do. (Glad i called bc i wasnt planning on being there tonight)

Couple hours later he calls back and says hed rather do 530am tomorrow bc of unpredictable traffic and not wanting to keep his guys out late. 530 is best i can do with split sleeper. So we shall see what tomorrow holds.

Was told id get paid for waiting on bh all night, we shall see.

 

Nope. I meant westbound. Could not get on 26 from 95 at all.

Nope. 5 1/2 months. One of which I was out with a shoulder injury. Just felt like years!

 

So my day started in AZ, drove through a snow storm on I-70 heading towards Denver. First time driving that route. Drove the truck pretty good through there all things considered.

Picked up this load in San Bernadino on Wednesday around noon CA time and delivering 1564 miles in Kansas City tomorrow at 1pm.

I'm sitting outside Denver, (about 30 miles from @5speed, lol) with 560 miles to delivery. Starting at 3am in hoping to get there close to on time as I can get. It's going to be close! 9.5hrs drive time.

What's up? I haven't heard about if you are in your own truck? Stage three with Jerry go ok?
