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

So you think it's good form to come on here and call somebody out when you can do it at the time it happens, it doesn't have to be a confrontation.

 

They took me second to last and air leak is at kenworth in Orlando so I’m on break down/ home time a lil early

For the record on cutting in line I arrived a half hour early checked into the front construction office and was told to pull around back nobody said there was a order of arrival and from my truck I parked where I could didn’t jump in line because I wasn’t aware of a line nor who got there first I was informed I was second to last simply because the size of my load by the foreman on the site, this was also my first hill Phoenix load ever I dot read minds nor did I block anyone from delivering simply put the appointment time should have been staggered by Abilene or Publix to avoid confusion I refuse to park in the roadway and going truck to truck asking who got there first and frankly woulda parked there overnight had I known there was space to do so safely

My honest opinion is everyone gripes on these no matter the order of arrival but in reality the crew taking the loads off us isn in charge and parking safely dictates the rest ... confrontation yeah but regardless we are all a team and on the same team every attempt to be courteous would go a long way , personally I hope to never get on one of these types of runs again unless Abilene and Publix can communicate a better method so nobody gets butt hurt

For those there in Florida lady lake ...pleasure again meeting some of you and glad we all go out of there safely

 

The same appointment times or staggered times doesn't matter. They all end up first come first served.

 

Dude! We're all good. I didn't care one way or the other, and usually don't. It was fun hanging out and talking with everyone. Some folks get twisted over it, though.

I had my seat completely break on me this morning. It was no fun trying to drive for sure. In Florence SC now at Volvo. Only took them 4 hours to look at it, 5 minutes to say you need a new seat, and 3 hours to get the approval. Seat will be here sometime tomorrow. The reason I didn't even try to get to the yard? Same as yours @trkrmichael! I wanted it fixed since it was poo poo-d Saturday that it was broken by the wonderful shop personnel we have. Added bonus? It costs every time someone calls breakdown, whether we are told to fix on the road or go to our shop. Yep. The dumb A should've listened to me.

 

I have told drivers to go ahead of me when I wasn't getting my time back anytime soon.

 

If only it worked like that all of the time. Imagine that, drivers being considerate of others.

 

Then other times they told me to the back of the line you go. We're taking you last

 

Sometimes my seat doesn't come up when I sit down. It can be annoying. A time or two I adjusted it up then the prior setting kicks in and im sitting really high.

 

No. This is the seat back. The seat goes up/down with no issue. The back is now like a rocking chair stuck in the recline position.

 

The whole story was that he arrived, saw 2 trucks parked ahead of him and drove around them without bothering to ask if we had already unloaded or were told that we were to be unloaded last.

If you know some other part of the story that I don't, please share it.
