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

Now that is great news! Tell Mom we’re rooting for her.

 

I've mentioned before that my neighbor works in the service department over at Colonial Volvo in Ashland. She sent me some pics of the new 2019s they just got in and are prepping for us. She said we ordered 100 of 'em. I guess we're moving towards an all-Volvo fleet? That's 1/4 of the trucks we have on the road.

She said I could share the pics, so here they are:

 

They look nice, the only thing I wish they would do away with is the big sticker across the headliner.

 

Man, I hope not. Personal preference, though.

Also note the jump to five digits in the unit number since (iirc) the 19xx and 20xx are what they used for the daycabs.

 

5 digit truck number?. Maybe Abilene plans to double the fleet.

 

Of course there doubling,we do run for a mega company now.

Thinking its time to hit the pavement.

 

Wish there were more pics of bunk area. Looks like a very different configuration all around. Of course, it'll be a couple years before I would get a new truck since mine is a 16, and they'd be worn out before then!

 

They do look nice but I agree with RC. It'll be years before I get one. I can't get assigned one unless it has 450k miles on it....much like my 2, 15's.

 

Sitting in West Memphis taking a reset,with @JohnBoy going on vacation hopefully I can score a Reno trip.

 

I drive tractors every day with 1.5 to 2 million miles on them . No power windows , locks or mirrors. Be happy with that 2016. I wish I had something from this decade lol
