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

Yeah I just made a del up here in Edison,Nj the winds been rough,suppose to calm down after 6.

Sitting around waiting on dispatch,sure hope I can score an Allentown load.

 

I hate that... up to bump docks before 8/9am and then not rolling until 2/3pm... I don’t mind driving 11 hours a day but when those hours are at the very end of my day, well, I don’t feel as safe... would much rather bump a dock and roll to the next load... preplan? What?

might be one benefit of Yard Move...
might get the attention of others...

 

And these small tanks on this new truck take some getting used to... twice now I look down and see less than 1/4 tank of fuel... I guess we just plan on fueling every day???

I’ll be sitting along side the road one day... lol

 

Time for a little vampire driving.....

 

Got a load picks up tomorrow loading near Philly coming back to the yard,really trying to do my best to have patience,but it seems to be running out.

I remember there was a time when I wouldn't even look at recap hours,those days seem to be gone,if they think I'm sticking around for 2500 miles aweek they're crazy.

 

Look at your passenger side tank to see if the fuel valve is open.
When I first got my truck it was close.

 

Does wonders for your shower count at your chain truck stop of choice.

 

Glad this night trip is over.....too many boneheads with a CDL...inches from being side swiped and my driver side mirror taken off by an idiot doing over 70 in a 55 mph construction zone on a narrowed bridge....

 

I’ll look at that... I was on E yesterday but it only took 150g in 2-100g tanks... it might be partially open? I used more than one tank but not as much as two empty tanks... and this is a used truck so I would hope the Team would have noticed an issue during the prior 200k of miles.

good suggestion!!!
