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

You know JB is rolling in the money. Living in Florida, a trainer, a pool, ohh yeah he doesn't sweat the small stuff. Hahaha

 

I did spend the night. It is a bit small back there. Since you can't turn in off Speedway Blvd, I went in from N Williamson Blvd and took the 2nd entrance on the LHS. A bit of a tight curve around the back with tree branches there. Turned around down by Ashley furniture with no issues. The dock you need is diagonal. It doesn't have any marking on the door, but the walk in door next to it has the green world market sticker on it.

 

Thank you. You just made my day alot easier. I really appreciate it.

 

Should I back into that dock to take my break?

 

It's all still closed down. I didn'teven bother with it coming out of Windsor VA yesterday afternoon bound for Fort Myers. Took the 58 to the 85 to the 77 to the 26 back to 95. Added a few miles but no worry smooth sailing.

Could have taking the 301 but didn't feel like adding 4 or more hours to the trip. Every car, bike, camper, bus and truck is taking that get around. Heard the complaining on the CB as I drove right by it all.

 

Yes.

 

Good for you! A buddy of mine picked up from there yesterday too. I tried to tell him to head over to 85, but he wouldn't listen to me. I did actually get him to take 258 down to 58 to get on 95. He was going to go all the way back to disputanta to get on. All you guys picking up right by my house making me jealous!

 

So finally around 1000 dietz and watson get their act together and let me roll out. Someone from wytheville called me about it while i was there. Made it back to yard and got sent to kenbridge va to pu going up to lancaster pa. Found a bolt in the tire. Wonder how long it was there. Limped her back to richmond as all seemed good other than obvious leak.

Darn. Looks like i missed the one and only @RebelChick again. I left around 9 this am.

Lunch and waiting on the next task it is

 

I am tired of being "out of sync" with the plan...

It happened going up to Canada after I left late from the yard due to that air leak... which put me completing a 10 after making the drop... and goofed up the timing on the return load of hangers... then I started fresh on Sunday heading on the NC/SC Pickle Run... but then then the very first drop was switched around by the other Driver because of a single small case of deli meat to add onto my load vs two trucks dropping at the same place... that pushed me late to get to the next drop... then the flood waters screwed up my 8/2 plan of getting to my last stop for the next morning which then screwed up my taking 10 prior to the 5:30am drop which goofed up this load going to DC Area for 7am... so now after they took 5 hours to unload me, I'm halfway through my next post Delivery 10 vs getting the 10 in prior to the drop.

Ugh.... cascade of comedy... LOL

I knew I should have just taken the darn violation the first day I hit the flood issues (Safe Haven due to Act of God... LOL) that pushed the rest of these loads out of sync.

So, yes, it happens to all of us but the quicker you can get back in sync with the rest of the team the better off everyone is... especially the Driver.

I am SOOOOO glad I have hometime coming this weekend... "Dads Day at ISU" with my youngest... {MD tailgating with the Sorority Sisters... Woot Woot}...

maybe I can get back in sync when I come back out on Monday morning.

We will see...

Thus ends the venting... nap time... cheers...

 

I got here around 8, but stayed in my truck until the shop came for it around 9:30.
