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

Typical shop behavior.

 

Once again at home for the weekend. Unscheduled this time. Air brake system sprung a leak. Pressure gauge got down near 60psi a few times while I was in stop-and-go traffic near Ashland.

Load I was carrying was supposed to be a live unload at Hill-Phoenix in Colonial Heights, but I felt that pulling into the yard and having a city driver do the rest while they took a look at my truck would be the safer option. Put the ticket in at 3:00pm, noticed that they looked very busy, and probably wouldn't even *look* at my truck today, much less fix it. Unfortunately, girlfriend is in England for the next 3 weeks, so it's Crunchyroll and video games and pizza for me tonight.

Living the dream.

 

I bet the thought of an epic backing battle at Battery Danzler helped with that Safety decision.

Where in England?. I lived there for 13 years.

 

Unless "Battery Danzler" is the code name for the Hill-Phoenix plant on Ruffin Mill, then nope.

Isn't Battery Danzler that place out in Tappahannock?

Leeds, London, Cambridge. Then Helsinki, Finland for a week, then back to London. Then home.

 

No, that's FDP. Battery Danzler Rd is off route 10 by the hill phoenix distribution center.

 

They might have, wouldn't take much to dig that dirt hill back. I guess the only reason they haven't bothered is that their yard guy doesn't need the room and who cares about us condo sleeper drivers.

 

I got the HP plants confused.

I lived in Lancashire, closer to Leeds than to London, but then nothing is far away on that little island despite what the locals thought. I remember co-workers there expressing grave concern about me driving to London and back on the same day, a whopping 450 mile round trip.
