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

Another one. At RVA yard.

 

So much for dispatch not being able to deadhead us more than 150 miles.

 

I’m thinking that’s just an internet rumor. I recently deadheaded 1025 miles from Portland to San Bernardino.

 

Amazing.

 

Nah, no rumor. Heard it directly from the mouth of one of our dispatchers a couple of months ago.

I suspect that HQ's willingness to either comply with or ignore this rule depends very strongly on which option is more convenient for them at the time.

 

Yep. I can neither confirm or deny that this can be confirmed or denied.

 

I was told today only our shop will do oil change for volvos,i am over 10k by the time i get to our shop it will be 20k.And my dispatcher for the past year quit

 

My record was a bobtail move from the Richmond HQ to Great Dane in Arkansas to pick up a new trailer. 900 miles. I was rolling into truckstops late at night without a worry of finding parking. You can stick a tractor just about anywhere.

 

Mine was 1775 from Colton to West Memphis, just to drop hook and go right back to Colton. Second best was Great Falls MT to Colton, in January.
