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

It’s all relative. Just depends how one wants to look at it. You can use a 7 day schedule or like myself, a 5 day week based on 14 hour days. My 2 weeks I’ve taken this year was based on 40 hours. First week was averaged out to $1490, second at $1540. The hometime I’ve accumulated gets tacked on the end, usually for jet lag recuperation. Lol.

 

I'll be lucky if mine this time around is $500 with all the time off I've had to take over the last year! But, couldn't be helped. Still kinda sucks though.

 

Having 2 year's with Abilene. Do you still only get 7 days off?

 

Kinda wondering myself when that second paid week benny kicks in since, in nearly three years, this is the first I've heard of it.

 

When I was there you got two weeks at the three year mark.

 

I appreciate the info. Not surprised I'd have to learn that from another driver and not one of the cubicle dwellers.

 

It's in the handbook online or at least it was. I don't know about now.

 

The exemption is only for trucks involved in relief efforts. The commom misconception seems to be that the rules are waived for all trucks operating in those states

 

Unforeseen issues/delay
Due to HURRICANE!!!

 

Maybe Knight also bought Bowman.
