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

Never been,but Google maps show W.Thornburgh.Just pull it up and route toward nearest street.
But if you have a no.I'd call.

508 W.Thornburgh st.

 

I saw that one and the other 2 Armstrong's in the area. None of them are at the dispatch address though. I was hoping someone may have been there before and could narrow it down.

 

Man, what is it with Armstrong and having non-GPSable facilities? The one in Beverly, WV is also immune to being located via GPS.

 

Ok, I'm here but not without lots of swearing. None of the Armstrong addresses on Google maps are correct and of course the GPS and Google couldn't find the dispatched address mainly because it doesn't exist beyond the imagination of someone at Armstrong.

I got a phone number from dispatch, called them and the shipper was well aware that they are darn near impossible to find. I got some rudimentary instructions but I have to admit I don't do well with "go past X...follow your nose...come on up the hill...can't miss us" etc.

So of course my nose didn't get me where I needed to be and after a brief tour of the neighborhood I saw a container truck flying by and because the doors were open I could see what looked like wood flooring in it and as he was heading in the direction of where I thought I should be the chase was on!.

Basically the place is at the intersection of Clark Ave and Girdley St for anyone headiing to Armstrong West Plains MO. Not sure how that info gets.into the company ether when drivers request customer info but at least it's on here.

 

This is one of those locations you save in your personal GPS. I have quite a few of those.

 

Anybody ever deliver to the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philly? I am giving it the eyeball via Google maps, trying to figure out where I need to actually take my truck. And as near as I am able to determine from the satellite pictures, there's a ramp near the intersection of N Marvine St and Vine St that leads up to the roof (or at least to an upper level) where I see 18-wheelers backed into what I presume is a dock.

That sound about right?

 

Looks good to me, that's exactly where I would be heading. Looks pretty roomy up there too which wasn't my first thought when I saw "Philly".

 

Did you get trailer 7395?

 

What did you do to It?.

 

Yup. Anything I need to know?
