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

That is well beyond skipping showers because you are busy or just lazy. I would say she has serious psychological issues. Its pretty sad really, there are many others suffering even worse than her as she is at least still able to function enough to earn a living.

Mental health will always be an issue particularly when the healthcare industry doesnt view it as a money maker.

 

I have no words and that's unusual for me. LOL
Just wow!

 

Are you certain that she shat herself when she fell, or is it possible that she was already soiled when she entered the van? That is just terrible, think I would have asked for another transport.

I saw one of our drivers at the Richmond terminal walk past my truck with a 30gal trash bag, full, and toss it in the dumpster. I thought, wow, that is a lot of trash from a truck. A few minutes later, he walked past with another one!

Abilene really needs to start inspecting the inside of these trucks, and firing people who cannot keep them clean. I understand that they used to do this, probably were losing too many drivers.

When I started here, I was given a nasty truck to drive. I complained and got another one. It was filthy too, found a used band aid on the floor, empty food wrappers... I had that one cleaned, then I had to clean it again.

 

Well, the smell of shat got real strong at that instance. But the smell of b.o. was 1000 times strong to begin with. I think the she did. Hotel only has 1 transport van.

I totally agree. They should inspect these trucks regularly. I've seen many of our trucks with so much garbage in the windshield, and I too, have been given dirty trucks that I had to clean up myself. I think they just say that to new drivers to make theirselves look good. And another thing is tearing up the insides. I seen a 16 freightshaker on the wytheville yard. I was told by Kevin to check it and make sure it was ready to go. Whoever had this truck had a dog and there was dog food scattered throughout the floor. Then I seen they had cut up the padding on the floor in the back. Cabinet doors missing, I opened up the fridge and nothing but dried brown liquid all inside it. Smh.
I would be embarrassed to hire a driver on and then assign them a unit like that

 

I did a 5 day sentence there myself , they put me up in the nugget hotel ...wasnt all bad spent more than I wanted to at the hotel but Mustang Kenworth is not in a hurry to get you turned around and gone

 

Next, on Hoarders.

 

I went there about 7 months ago with another truck problem and like always they had no parking. The guy at Kenworth told me it would be a week before they maybe get to me. I just kept driving and went to the Kenworth at around Riverside the very next day my truck problem was solved.

 

Major props to the driver who dropped 5313 at Ellenwood with less than enough fuel to make it even 24 hours. Pretty sure the partial load on the trailer is spoiled.

 

Well said JohnBoy!
What gets me upset is a driver that has being driving for the past 6 hours with a "Boar's Head" load that he pick up and we are going to swap but he has no weight scale ticket! And the load needs to get into NY at certain time and he gets to me late!
