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

If you're still in Colton tomorrow, I'll wave at you as I pull in.

 

The construction people are digging again at the Richmond terminal!
I hope they learned there last lesson and not break any of dispatch internet cables! Otherwise history will repeat it self.

 

Do you have a Freightliner?. I have been having steering troubles for a while now. Put it in the shop 4 times. They claim PS pump is fine, said kingpins were dry so they greased them, but the problem is still there.

 

My new deadhead record now stands at 978. 910 of those were bobtail.

 

Eef. My longest bobtail was from Chicago to Indy, and that was plenty.

I'm here at Colton. Where are ya, Bill?

 

KW. I'm supposed to be at shop tomorrow so we'll see what they say.

 

I forgot to add this but is your freightliner high mileage? This KW has 552k on it. I think it's been an issue before for whoever had it before me because the fluid is actually over-full in it. I just hope they fix it, and the air conditioning. I should be there early tomorrow morning before 10.

 

Still here 24 hours later
