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

Qualcomm back working shrugs,not that anybody cares lol.

 

We have lots of west coast freight, but teams usually get that. I have been out that way quite often this year, but that is an anomoly, wouldn't be surprised if i dont see those states again for the rest of the year.

If you live out that way I couldnt recommend coming here unless you only go home a couple times a year.

 

I care that you got to run all those "free" miles while it was down.

 

Yeah, all the trailer have inflation system. There is a light on the nose of the trailer that comes on if trailer tire pressures drop.

 

The trailer came from a shipper maybe 60 miles away. Personally, I think it happened half a mile from the yard. There is a tight right turn after getting off I95 that has some torn up curbing. There may be some exposed re-bar in the rubble that could easily rip the sidewall. You can see a huge missing chunk of rubber near the gash.

The thing is the driver wouldn't have had to really deal with it. It sat on the yard for a day before i hooked it. It could have been written up and left. A 5 minute effort on the driver's part...if they bothered to take a quick walk around and look.

 

I have seen them in most of our trailers. Last week I pick up a bran new Great Dane trailer and I forgot to check and see if it had that.

 

All Abilene trailers have Meritor systems.
