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

I just got done with a driver last week that was in the same identical position as you. He went with me for 10 days then we cut him loose. I’m thinking that will be the worst case scenario for you.

 

I figured that would be worst case, thanks for that info.

 

@5speed was that you in the '17 KW backing up traffic going over Flattop around 3pm?.

 

Not at 3. I was backing up traffic there about 11

 

What brand of trucks do the new guys get? And what trucks do you guys and girls prefer?

 

You get whatever is available. I prefer the Volvo, but to each their own.

 

Usually Kenworth T680, Freightliner Cascadias or Volvo 760s. Or if you opt for Northeast regional there will most likely be a Mack in your future.

I like KW the best of the trucks Ive driven.

 

As long as it goes from point A to point B, a box truck would work.

 

I've been in two trucks at Abilene: A 2015 Volvo and a 2016 Volvo.

I quite like the Volvo and would be happy to stay in them throughout my career here at Abilene.

All our trucks are automatic, btw. Volvos have a manual mode, and the Freightliners do as well. But I think the manual mode has been disabled in the KWs.

 

Freightliners have the manual mode disabled. The two KWs i have driven did not.
