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

Ok, whoever is parked over at Dairy Queen tonite - you're making me look bad! All the other trucks there are parked like normal and whoever this is decided to park backed up to the fence. It will be a surprise in the morning when they are surrounded by cars that park there and ride share.

 

That'd be my last day as a free man, perhaps even a living one. I realize that doesn't speak well of me but at least I know that about myself. I'd like to haul into Canada just to say I have but it just isn't worth it given some of the crap I've seen written here. Life's just too #### short.

 

Just caught sight of an Abilene truck parked here in Oregon near Salem. Couldn't believe it lol. It's gone now though.

 

At a warehouse in Hanover, MD. In order to ensure the safety of the dudes loading and unloading the trailer, I must:

-Chock my wheels
-Lock my own air line with a little lock they gave me
-Turn my engine off
-Give the S&R clerk my key
-Sit inside the facility

Seems to me that the last of those would eliminate the need for the first couple. Or vice versa.

 

I don't know what's up with this site, I didn't get any notifications for all these new posts.

 

It's vital to know which restaurants and convenience stores give first responder discounts. I remember doing an entire 24hr shift eating 3 sit down meals for the princely sum of $5.

 

Snot me, I was in MN on an LTL load. One thing I know for sure, P&D city driving is something I want no part of. For the first time I had to tell a customer "No". I was not going to get a 53' trailer and condo sleeper into his dock. I don't care how many other trucks "do it all the time". I wound up having to break down the pallet and unload it by hand.

 

Welcome to Baltimore, where rules are a way of life.

Heading to NY,for a Monday morning del.
