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

Use to. Now only outward. The trucks with inward facing (mine) had the system disabled.

 

Didn’t know they had turned the inward facing cameras off, interesting.

 

They finally realized they couldn’t hire enough drivers when they found out about the camera. My series truck has the old system, 20 trucks newer than mine has the new one.

 

Might explain the apparent uptick is doofus damage on our stuff.

Rolled into Gatorade in Wytheville yesterday to pick up. Young dude jockeying the clipboard handed me the yard slip too early and stayed inside. I asked if he was going to check the trailer as I slipped on my gloves. He asked if it was clean. Grinning, I asked, "how are ya gonna know if you don't look?"

It sounded like cracking knuckles when the two old guys sitting at the computers snapped their heads around to look at me.

I started towards the trailer and the kid followed, grumbling the whole way about having to check every trailer. I don't know, maybe I'm an ####### but I don't cut corners and I don't suffer fools or slackers gladly.

 

This pillow the company got us drivers is actually nice and comfy. And complete with abilene logo pillow case, lol!

 

Pillow?

 

Don’t need their pillow, don’t have room for it anyway. I’m good.

 

A man living in the world of "fantasy". It will get worse as old age becomes a reality. Believe me!

 

65 in 6 weeks, leave me alone and let me dream.
