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

The one in Savannah is to take care of all the freight we have going in and out of Florida and the 95 corridor between Richmond and Florida. The one in Anderson SC will do the same for the 85 corridor between Richmond and Atlanta. Apparently from what I’ve heard the southeast has grown so much they need to split it up to take pressure off Victor.

My last 2 trips out there, including the one I’m on now coming back to Richmond, has had me preplanned the day before I was empty. Both times I loaded at Anthony in Sylmar with the glass and door frames going back to Hill. It use to be a drop and hook, now it’s a live load and both times have afforded me the pleasure of getting detention pay. FYI, if you do get that load, you’ll be done right at the beginning of the afternoon rush hour. What I do instead of leaving the north side of Los Angeles and driving into, through and out of the city of Angeles is go north on Hwy 14 through Palmdale/Lancaster, up to Mojave and pick up 58 to Barstow. It’s 24 miles farther, but zero stress. Nice easy drive with very little traffic that time of day.

 

Better late and safe then not show up at all.

 

Good deal. Was wondering how you made out today.

 

Sitting here at the mothership. Got in last night. Truck is in for a PM, new steer tires, a software update, and yes, a new windshield. Boy I’m hard on windshields.

 

All day in the shop. This was the last minor detail.
