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

I am sooo thankful... I’ll spare everyone the details but for the last couple days I’ve been dealing with flu like symptoms... yesterday that darn little bug really kicked my butt... while it has tossed a rather wet blanket on my home time... I am VERY glad that I’m dealing with this at home and NOT while in the Truck... ugh.

 

drugs-med.com is a good place to get cheap medicine for all your ails.
Get well soon!

 

I have a volvo 2019,the fifth wheel wont release the king pin if its cold (below 20)pulling it by hand wont work,but i found out,if u wrap a load strap around the lever, and pull Up and forward,releases very easy,then wd40,and grease,and now slides like butter.

 

I swear, yes literally swear at times, I can on one day move the truck upwards of 10-15 mph without tripping Drive... then today, 18 minutes into a 30, I pull forward out of the pumps... and trip into Drive... ugh... so a 10 Second Drive Session now has me sitting for a 50 instead of a 30... good thing I have time on this load.

 

Man Im glad my day is done....too many idiots behind the wheel....coming down a small hill inches from passing another truck, my load is only 10K, idiot whips out in front of me and puts his truck in neutral and takes off letting weight push him down the hill then he gets over and hits the brakes as he is coasting and puts in gear again bottom of the hill and keeps driving his 62-65mph....then later Im on flat ground passing another truck again and the little black toyota celica in front of him all of a sudden yanks his wheel to the left and does a high speed u-turn in front of us and slams his brakes into the median to get into the opposite direction.....maybe I should just set my cruise at 60 staying in right lane.....

 

Got me picking up at delta furniture in Pontotoc, MS. Supposed to drop empty at the store location then go over to the warehouse to get my loaded trailer. Store is closed tomorrow, hope warehouse is open though. Two stops in MI Monday.

 

Got home last night, load delivers 6 miles from the house........ on December 30th. Wasn’t planning on 15 days off, but why not. Will be coming back out on the 2nd.

 

I picked up a load of two teenagers in Winchester, VA and am delivering it to their grandmother in Shreveport, LA. Then I have to babysit the load for a full week before hauling the load back to Winchester.

 

This delta furniture dropped my empty at is in the woods literally in MS. Reminds me of the roads had to drive in the oul and gas industry in WV, lol! Get to loaded trailer couple miles away at big warehouse and nobody here....so I check mailbox and thankfully paperwork is there. You think somebody would have put thst in the load assignment.....

 

What????? You expect someone to fully complete all tasks associated with their job? Come on driver.
