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

I wish I could! I have to talk to these yahoos multiple times a day. But that’s one of the downfalls of being local.

My day hasn’t been as bad as @ExtremeUnction with his swap saga, but it has been interesting. Get up this morning at home with no trl (and I knew this was going to be an issue Tuesday when I was instructed to drop my mty at Damche, but hey, I’m just a driver). Was told after 30 minutes of waiting to BT to VB to Stihl to grab an mty. Get there, only 1 trl, but won’t be mty for about an hour, maybe less. Called in to talk to my supervisor (y’all know). Guess what I was told? BT to the yard. Yep. So, I’ve BT 150 miles today. But, hey, at least I’m getting paid, right? Sometimes I just shake my head at the things that get said/done around here.

 

Swapping trailers around 3am and taking a Hill Phoenix Load to WI... guess I better check the weather...

 

Snow.

 

Ya, I see it’s coming... looks like I might be lucky to get to Wisconsin before it hits Illinois...

One can Hope

 

That snow storm is coming all across the United States and ending up towards the North East. Be safe my friends!

 

Emptied yesterday morning in Scottsdale Az. Got there the day before to renew my DOT physical. Got my 2 year card. The significance of that? I have 1 more renewal after this one and that will be it. Let the countdown begin. Meanwhile, after deadheading to San Bernardino, it’s off to Toronto Canada for Monday about noon.

 

I heard that if you purchase something in Canada it's a lot cheaper than in the U.S. is that true?

 

They have nothing I need to purchase. My only connection with my visit in Canada is throwing my garbage out and going to the bathroom.

 

No. Everything is way more expensive in Canuckistan.

 

Snowing here in Reno. I have little doubt the Pass will be closed this afternoon. It is coming down pretty good. I gotta get a new job and a divorce from Donner. Too much of a pain in the rump. Time to head East from here, not West.
