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

It was an open store. A replacement seafood case. The manager and and stock guy unloaded it this morning. Got my reload an hour later. Villa Rica GA to Front Royal VA.

 

All done ...
but waiting on PO...
For an hour!!!

 

I've waited longer than that for an EFS code to pay lumpers.

Last repair on my truck there was such an ordeal securing payment for the shop that I just stuck it on my credit card so I could get out of there. If you are at a Volvo dealer I hope you have a sky high limit on your CC!.

 

A quick short email to my FM and I had it in under five minutes....

But that garage cost me another hour of down time just waiting for them to give a PO number that was requested PRIOR to the work being started.

First not being able to address it during my PM in WM due to no diagnostic equipment to even read the engine code, honestly, its "Preventative Maintenance" and they can't even read a simple code that the trucks toss right in their face... LOL

then waste have a half day in R waiting for someone to just read/clear the code so I can keep rolling... Only yo give up when FM wants me to roll.

And now, when it won't perform a Parked Regen I have to wait for a Dealership to open... topped off with an hour plus wait to get a PO for work already completed... LOL

Yup, my panties are bunched....

But hey, I did miss driving in the Winter Storm so that's worth something... I guess.

 

Ok, how do we see our settlement sheet now? Are they still emailing it to us? Or is it on the new payroll app?

Ahh, never mind. Just got it today.

 

Second try. First try I got halfway through the back, had a good angle, and then some dude on the sidewalk pointed out that DESPITE THE WARNING GIVEN TO ME BY @Truckin' Monkey , I had forgotten to open my doors. Oops.

So I went around the block. Only "around the block" worked out to be about three miles. I was using the Edna (the crotchety Qualcomm GPS) instead of Jessica (the air-headed Google Maps app) because despite her glaring faults, Edna knows I'm driving a 72' tractor-trailer combo.

Got back into position, opened the pod bay doors Hal, zipped across the street, got set up, and managed to get it in the dock first shot. Took me another two minor pull-ups to get straight (sorta) in the dock, but I'm in there.

Nerve-wracking. I am not a fan.

 

AWESOME!!!

Ya, forget to open the doors is never at the best time or place!!!

Looks like a great back to me!!! CONGRATES!!!
