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

Well, it was a secret.

 

It's terrible! Specially the last our getting to this place! And if you get here make sure to speak with the person in charge of the truck unloading... Give them your name and cell... Otherwise you won't get unloaded! And if you have to go back and check! It's crazy!

 

I know the street. Im spending the night in Kingman, just trying to figure out the best time to leave in the morning. Early enough to avoid the heaviest traffic, but not so early that I get turned away by the consignee.

Give me the Gatorade Ohio loop all day, everyday.

 

Let me guess, the load was ready yesterday.

I had one last week. Sent empty macro, waited 2 hours then sent a message asking for a load as I still had 3hrs left on my drive time. Got a reply saying to take my 10 and the planner would send me a load for after 10 was up. Got the load picking up 2 hrs away at 7am next morning. Get to shipper at 6:30am and he tells me he is glad I came early because he has 3 trucks picking up that morning. Against my better judgement I ask him how early I could have picked up.

"Oh, this load has been ready to go since yesterday"

 

And it will stay a secret as long as you dont go telling anyone else.

 

At least they didn't put you in door 25.

Were you able to successfully paddle your rowboat over to the shipping office?

Did you bring that load back to the yard? I just got an assignment to take forklift parts to Berea.

 

I was at the TA, was fast asleep at that time though. I left about 12:45am and got to consignee with 5 minutes to spare.
