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

You can park there at BH Groveport. Don't grab an empty unless dispatch tells you to. More than likely you will be grabbing a load from there.

 

Yup. Don't worry, you'll see all the bobtails out front. Restroom available for your needs. Actually clean too. I was there last night. Delivered in Oilville VA tonight. Was supposed to be 5 am tomorrow, but the guy was here when I got here, so I don't have to get up early! Bonus!!! Would've left once he was done to go to 2nd stop, but since I used my only 7.5 total hrs today on my 70, have to stay here. It's ok. Nice an quiet. And dark! Wow!

 

I'll be there about 1:30 in the morning, just long enough to drop this forest city load then hook my loaded one and be in Frederick MD at 7am.

 

Write all these suggestions down and you can voice them at the upcoming driver's meeting. Maybe even hold an impromptu vote then and there to see how many drivers like the idea.

 

Spent last night in Indy, was there last week also. I bet you could get through Indy 3 times a week if you were planned for it.

 

I usually get a phone call telling me about my next load.

 

Make sure you swing W I D E of the guard shack when exiting the gates at Jarrat. They are on a funny angle that can catch you out. Make sure you have a padlock also. I have heard of guards refusing to let trailers out without a padlock on it. I found that the 2 piece padlocks with the long u part (yes, thats the official name) easiest to use on the roll up door reefers.

Free chilled bottled water at groveport and automatic soap dispenser built in the water faucet in the restroom!. How cool is that?.

If they ever install an automatic "shaker" for when you pee I am never leaving groveport.

 

Me too....if more than 6hrs have elapsed since getting the load and I haven't sent my begin trip macro.

 

I stopped there on a family trip 24yrs ago and it was crap then. There are much worse places to park along the 95 corridor though.
