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

That flying J is a nightmare. Its a parking lot for USA. I dont even go there anymore- I stay at the petro.

 

How is it going now? I am making a change also. No final decision as yet.

 

I haven't run the Keys in a long time. It's not a place to be sleepy!!! If you see Elvis fishing down there, it's not a good sign.

 

JB,

If it was me in charge you would not get a violation. I hope your superiors understand why you did what you did.

JB, you could have warned me about the breakfast st the hotel, I would have gotten up earlier and gone to Waffle House or McD's. I went through the fast track class as I did my DOT and physical last week plus being the only one in this orientation helps. Had my truck in the shop replacing the windshield. I think it is 1104 but can't remember as I only saw the number quickly.

 

Had the weirdest night last night. Stopped just outside of Nashville at the Petro. I was just done for the day. I know we all have those days. I didn't want to be in the driver's seat another dang minute. And I didn't want to be in Nashville rush hour traffic, so.... Anyway, went to bed around 9 pm and was sleeping really good. About 2 am, I hear knocking on my door. Ignore it!!!!! But they kept on knocking, so I got up and opened my vent and yelled "WHAT?" This guy asked me if I could move up just a bit because he was trying to get in the spot on my passenger side and was literally stuck. So, I moved for him. When he got in the spot, he came around to my drivers door and thanked me for moving and apologized for waking me. I told him I'd rather be awakened to move than because someone hit me. So, I go back to sleep. Woke up a little bit later and looked at my phone. 4 am. Cool, got another hour to sleep, NOT!!! Forgot that Nashville is on CDT, not EST!!!! I should've gotten up. I did go back to sleep, but had a crazy dream that somehow made me realize I needed to get up. Now, I don't know if y'all watch Ice Road Truckers, but there is a trainer on there (they were showing repeats while I was on home time), I can't think of his name, but he wanted to get the new guy, Porkchop, fired. Anyway, I dreamed he got into my truck and said that since I was going to sleep all dang day, the company had sent him to deliver the load and then take me to the yard. I said, "cool" and went back to sleep while he drove. Next thing I know, I'm at the "yard" but it was like a big mall and I'm looking for the bathroom and my truck in that order. Then I woke up thinking, "crap, I forgot about the time difference!!!!!" and shaking my head at the crazy dream!

Must be because I haven't been sleeping too well lately???!!!!
