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

10-4. If I can escape the Northeast training I sure will. I kind of committed myself to it. Stuck in Edison, NJ tonight. Couldnt get unloaded before they went home.
Johnboy hogs all the Deerfield Beach loads. Hes like that you know! I think JB said he was going to overnite at Bouldercrest. Instead of a free cup of coffee with Pilot Points they give you a free Tetanus shot and some lizard repellant. Just kidding JB..

 

I hear you. I thought it would be JB I saw a couple times but each time it was a different driver. I know what to look for; Green Cascadia numbered 14xx on it. In due time, im sure ill cross paths with JB. I swore I saw him when he was with Calex but it wasn't the W9 he had. It was a 780 Volvo.

If you ever need a place to stay in Buford, there is a Wal-Mart. When you take the exit, turn right instead of left and it's down on the left hand side. I usually drop my trailer and bobtail down there.

 

Thanks Johnboy. I am saddened by what happened. I was thinking Abilene and you took me so very many places that I never had been before I came to Richmond. The entire west coast, the southwest, Texas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Missouri. I am grateful for the opportunity I had while I was there. Meeting Lesli and your dogs was also a huge highlight. I am sure wherever I go will pale by comparison. Some of things I said earlier were said out of frustration, but I am coming to grips with what has happened. I just hope I can catch on with a halfway decent company. I will certainly take any advice you might have in that regards. I miss you, Big Brin, Rebelchick, and Uturn, Wjewan23, Sally and Don Tucker, Tim B, Jonathan, and Bo, and most everybody in the front office. I can't imagine working with and for a better company than Abilene. I will end up blossoming elsewhere if I can avoid falling on my own sword. I am sure the mistakes will slow if not cease. I should have flourished with Abilene. I was preoccupied with dropping my trailer and getting a shower and scanning my paperwork when I made my final fatal mistake. Also I knew I was down to my last strike which is a lot of pressure to work under. Maybe a fresh start with a clean slate will benefit me as much as anything else.

I know I want another company similar to Abilene with its fine equipment, auto trans, no touch freight, a pet policy would be nice, a liberal idle policy. A decent pay rate with good miles, and a fine maintenance dept. Anyway, I'll never forget the great friendships I made here. I asked Scott if I was a good boy somewhere else and wanted to come back if I could reapply back here. He said you can always reapply, but keep your DMV clean and don't make the same mistakes that you did here. Not sure he would take me back, but that's a question for another year. I wish you all the best Johnboy. I always said you were like a big brother to me. Love you man!!

 

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that there is classic.

 

George, this is the sincerest bit of advice I can give. Work on training your mind to do one major task at a time and put the secondary tasks in the sidebox. This is what I have to do having ADHD and I tell people if I start picking up the speed in my talk to tell me to slow my roll.
