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

And then there’s this. With a 42k load on it, no less.

 

Yeah, I understand that. Had that happen when I google earthed the loves in terre haute Indiana by the staples warehouse we drop at I think it is.

 

Ya... now THAT made me LAUGH!!!

 

But I’ve had it where it looks like truck come in the front door, the cop that gave me the lane violation even said trucks go in that way all the time... only to find out you go around the corner where there is NO shack...

I’ve also hit where the guard shack on the satellite view was old and empty... in front of a locked gate... causing me to back into traffics yet again... so satellite view provided the wrong information too.

While I do understand that we Drivers do have tools to use to mitigate this issue, getting to the “Right Address” (and safely too) is a team effort...

GIGO: Garbage In; Garbage Out

And the funny thing is at three of my examples, that I’m sending to Safety, they even have BIG ### SIGNS at their Front F’ing Door saying “don’t come here”... so neither the Driver nor the Shipper WANTS us to be there...

Ball is Dropped by Middle Men!!!

 

On more happy notes... they sent me to the Western Border of NE... almost touching WY

Loaded full of beans...
every kind of bean...
pinto, navy, etc etc etc

Then heading to NE San Antonio, Texas

So it’s been a beautiful run and not much Interstate between here and Texas... so we will be seeing a lot of highway action today and tomorrow.

 

Ahhhh, TX! My favorite state. No, seriously. I love TX. I’d move down there right now if I could. I miss driving those back roads where the speed limit is still 70 mph!

 

I have been 8 weeks out doing OTR and tomorrow hopefully after making a delivery into Winters, Texas they will send me home. I'm looking forward to be with my family and share a special trip together going to San Antonio, Texas over the weekend. My daughter wanted to do something special for mothers day and I have been chosen to be the "chauffeur" of this trip. She also made me a deal... "You will get a free hotel stay and free food".... I said OK! LOL!

 

Well, I think I used up just about every part of my 11/14 today... ... and with 13 left on my 70, I’ll squeeze in the last 630 miles to my LUL a half day early... feels darn good to stretch the legs and completely consume ones clocks over several days...

 

Must be nice,to be able to kick the feet up for a few days, forgotten what that's like.

Highland Provisions,in Lithia Springs,Ga.
Been to this bh distributor twice now,both times with a truck in front of me,and both time's leaving out the parking lot within an hour and a half.

 

Sitting at Richmond,trucks got to go in the shop,hometime this weekend.
