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

If they are not adjusted properly the wheels will roll when trying to slide them.

 

Hey, if you want me to totally Eff up a trailer just in hopes of helping, sure, count me in... if however you think it would be both safer and more productive to have a professional do it, then I agree.

Now, if we need to decide if said repair was to be expensed or capitalized, then give me a call.

 

That section of 95 is having a terrible time lately... first floods and now fires... I'm heading westward just as soon as the locusts show up.

 

Anyone else pulling the night shift?

 

Just pulled off and swapped...
dang that last hour was rough...

 

Seriously? Dude, we gotta talk! Lol

 

Well, yes. But I've yet to see one of ours that's that loose. But not unheard of. Plus, KD never mentioned the wheels were rolling when trying to slide them. Kind of an important bit of info ... eh?

 

Me. *yawn*

2am, 1am and 10:30pm starts the past 3 shifts. Have less than 5hrs on my 70 so doing a reset that ends at...5pm Friday evening.

Im only 460 miles away in OH so I'm sure they will DH me back to the yard for free BBQ.

I can smell it already.

 

Yea, sorry about that. I have run into a handful of Abilene trailers with the misadjusted brake issues, I was able to swap glad hands and get the job done. The last trailer I had problems with, ended up having an air leak when the pin release was pushed. The pins retracted, but would pop back out before you could get the tandems slid. Abilene paid a TA to help me set the tandems, but wouldn't pay to fix the air leak. SMH

This being a lease trailer puts a whole new spin on things. And, Loves cut their tech hours back. So, here I sit. But they have to fix it.

 

Only needed 1 can of Rockstar after all with help of a Steve Aoki marathon didnt nod even once...that I know of. Delivered the load (DRL turned into a LUL ) 1.5hrs early but dont want to make 32hr stretches on 2hrs sleep, a habit.
