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

I didnt know they wanted the receipt for EFS scale tickets. I usually just scan the ticket itself.

Shippers can see our QC macros?. How?.

 

Apparently they share arrivals and departures with some 3rd party system that shippers then log into.

 

EDI electronic data interchange they can also see where you are tracking at.

 

All in favor say AYE

 

Just as an FYI, the company does offer a Drivers Referral Program... if @ChrisL was instrumental in bringing you on board you might want to consider submitting his name as your referring Driver.

Just a thought...

So if they can see where I am and know I am 1 hr away, why are they not prepared for my arrival and wind up delaying loading/unloading for hours?.

Or is it one of those deals where they only track us when we are late and they can use that info to negotiate cheaper rates?.

 

I dont know has they use the information but they can see everything pertaining to that load. All they have to do is sign put load number and poof all the info on load shows up. What time you arrived departed at both ends
I know we use EDI with CHR so we are not required to make check calls to that broker. They just look it up.
Also I know it is used to verify if detention charges are claimed.

 

Well I am 11hrs early for this load so maybe Abilene can increase their rates.

 

Well, 2,000 miles in 3 days... last two days stopped with less than 5 minutes on my clock... whew... thought for sure I was going to get a violation tonight until this little place with a gravel lot popped up on my radar!!!

10 hours from drop with only 3 left on the 70 and 7 coming round tomorrow night... so I will wait here at this little gas station and roll out around 9pm tomorrow night and make the drop Tuesday as required.

Too bad it will be dark when driving western Montana and into Alberta... bet it's beautiful country to see. Hoping I travel back out during the daylight.

Night all

Stay Safe
