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

The sweeping part was ok, pulling the 30 nails wasn't ok.

 

I was assigned one, they then cancelled it for whatever reason, which didn't bother me one bit. This load I just delivered was one of the easiest, nicest, stress free loads I've done in a long time. Empty in Monroe Nc waiting on dispatch to figure out what they are going to do with the 4 of us, again, was it a surprise we showed up here today? I mean they only knew about us since last Friday while getting loaded in California.

 

I was 16 hours into a reset and sent a message into Tim to let him know I wanted to finish it. I'll be ready to go at 5am. Meanwhile I got a dead head move to our Wytheville yard to pickup a load in the morning that delivers in Corydon Indiana tomorrow night at 7pm. This works out just fine, I'll be back Friday night/Saturday morning to end my 7400 mile pay period.

 

They will run you as long as you have hours. I've been working off my recap and figured I was about half way through a reset and decided to just finish the reset. I actually pick up plenty of hours the next week, but will be picking up my student Saturday and want all the hours I can get. Our pay period starts at midnight this Saturday night, for the 2 weeks to the day of this pay period I've been gone, I will have ran 7400 miles with 4 extra stops thrown in. I've heard about the state tax issue but don't know the exact particulars, my state doesn't have a state income tax so it's a non-issue for me. My thinking is if they don't take out for your state you'll just pay it at tax time, if you are diligent in putting that money on the side.
