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

Was due to the fact that I was jackknifed in so the end of the trailer dipped a little bit. Maybe also because I was pulling a roll-up reefer and you other guys were hauling dry van.

Got 3.5 hours of detention for the day.

Felt sorry for the dude behind me, because the lumper closed up shop and left before I did. Dude behind me thought he was gonna get unloaded today.

 

Wouldn't ya know, not long after you posted this they did lift the chainup req. I boogied my ### to the Gee Cee (to avoid the mess up 82 and 90 at Snoqualmie,) and slept for twelve solid hours. Prolly wouldn't have woken up but my DM called to make sure I made it alright.

 

Get up 3am check to make sure road is open and do pti and get ready to move and blocked in. Pilot Im at is jammed with make a spot ppl plus fuel islands are full being it looks like employees decided to lock up and go home. Guessing ppl called off and they decided to screw the drivers and go home, lol! Then again it was bad up here last night and can't blame guys and gals getting off and parking any where they can. Fife is FCFS anyway, Ill get there when I can safely.

 

This is why my phone gets put into Do Not Disturb mode most nights.

 

Finally got out of the pilot I parked at yesterday....with only 8 hours to work with today since the lot was all jammed up and my 14 starting to count down. Got about an 1/8 inch layer of ice on my truck.

 

This is Bill. Bill is on a reset.
Bill needed to move 500 feet from his parking spot to the shop to get some batteries replaced.
Bill forgot to log out of his Qualcomm before moving. Bill has screwed up his reset.

Don't be like Bill.

 

Been there done that Bill.

 

Naw, he had a forklift.

 

Anybody had a delivery to 81 W Huller Ln in Reading, PA?

Walter had a fit when I told him that's where we were going. He started throwing up all kinds of low clearance warnings. I took a look on Google street view and sure enough the delivery address is bracketed by two railroad underpasses. The route Walter is suggesting takes me under a one-lane underpass with 7'10" clearance signs -- but the signs point to the side of the underpass, not the center. No data on the height of the center.

Coming in from the other side, there's another railroad underpass but I can't get height data on it at all.

Consulting Ye Olde Trucker Atlas, I don't see either one mentioned. But it's hard to argue with the photographic evidence.
