    Did Knight buy Abilene in it's entirety or a percentage?

    Ditto....Just let me add this. All the doom and gloom we hear is from drivers that don’t work here, got fired, or are outsiders that know everything. Here's what I’ve seen in the last 4 weeks since we were bought. My truck is still green, still does 72, my hometime has not been affected, I’m still on track to make 80k like I have the last few years, and most importantly, my paycheck and mileage bonus is in the checking account every other week like it’s been the last 5 years. Oh, and I just got my longevity raise 2 weeks ago.

    Not just me, grasshopper. Quite a few of us folks fuel exclusively at Loves. :biggrin_25522:

    Your truck does 72? Hmmmm...mine says it does, but practically every other Abilene truck leaves me in the dust! But, they won't calibrate the speed-o-meter so I just deal with it. :biggrin_255:

    Actually, since they put 10 new tires on, it’s 74. But who’s counting.

    Egad, the rot runs deep.:biggrin_2554:

    (I kid, of course. I occasionally fuel up at Love's whenever my need for a shower coincides with a break at Love's. Heck, I fueled up at Petro/TA a couple times last year for the same reason.)
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    My front right bumper-panel corner got loose,so naturally i put some black duct tape over it(temporary),to prevented from falling off,i was in the shop getting coolant,as i go out i see Bill circling my truck like a shark all red and pissed,and than he goes off-what did u hit,we dont do this staff here we fix staff,this is the ugliest thing ive ever seen,what did u run over,I got 650k on my truck everything is getting loose.If i wont to lie,i could say it was a deer,or a blown tire,but it was loose when i got it,i missed to noticed it and it just got worse.I got the feeling that the driver will get the blame here,regardless.
