    Stopped at WM for my 10 and to get something simple fixed on my trailer and that simple turned into more needing done when the mechanic said the brakes were cammed over. On another load going to Houston Tx now. Rather go there than east coast anyway. I feel kind of dumb not catching that during my inspections.....

    @Silverdriver ... wow, miss a day, miss a lot!!!
    Good Luck & God’s Blessings on your path!!!


    Thank you for reminding me of our Trainer... I enjoyed my time on his Truck and I’ve enjoyed chatting with you here.

    While I won’t speak for JB, I’ll say that this thread has never been “exclusively current drivers only”... might be non drivers, future drivers, former drivers, drivers that would never drive for Abilene folks... and even some jerk that has a hard on for JB... so ya, you better #### well feel welcome to drop in here any #### time you feel like saying hello or laughing at why the rest of us never wised up... lol

    not sure if you said what you were doing going forward but I hope and pray for great success in your future.

    seriously, drop in here OFTEN!!!

    Almost got rear ended by a UPS pulling doubles because he wasn't paying attention to the traffic light ahead I was stopped at. Guess he missed the flashing warning sign.... I braced for impact but he got stopped. The limit was 40mph and when light turned green he took off around me at about 60mph. Crazy ppl in those brown uniforms......

    Well now, did everyone receive the email today about the employee stock purchase? Would like to hear your thoughts about it, because I very quickly made my decision.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    @Silverdriver I wholeheartedly second @MidWest_MacDaddy ’s sentiment. I’ve personally grown to enjoy chatting with this good bunch of people that post in this thread regularly, despite never having worked for Abilene, and I see no reason why you can’t do likewise. No need to be a stranger. :)

    Nope.

    Oops. Spoke too quickly. Guess I should’ve checked my email first. I know zero about that type of thing, so I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not. Guess that’s why I am going to be working until the day I die.

    I know quite a bit about it. I will not be investing any of my money in ANY trucking companies stock. With trucking in the tank, that is a bad investment, especially for a stock that started last year at $33 per share, topped out at $37 and is tanking now like everything else.

    With the way company values are declining, and the volatility of the market, it makes me wonder if KNX (Knights Wall Street Symbol) needs a cash infusion.
