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

Well now. This is just lovely. Got to my truck at 930 pm. And what do you know, the smell of rotten food hits me as I walk up. And of course dead batteries. So, call breakdown, and with my little flashlight, I start clearing out the fridge. Ok, not too bad...until I get to the freezer. Yup, the thing was filled with maggots. I'm so friggin pissed right now. Can't trust anyone to do what is asked any more. Either the guy was asked to clean out the fridge and didn't do it or Tim and Walter didn't even bother asking him. Either way, I'm very upset with it and am just loving the new scent . NOT!!!!! Now I'm feeling creepy crawlies all over me. They are even in between the top of the freezer and the upper part of the fridge. No clue how to get them out of there. Have it on full blast so maybe the suckers will freeze. And have to get something to get the smell out. Might just have them remove this one an clean it or get a new one. Ugh!!! Then get a load assignment for 45000. CHRobinson load. At least back to Richmond to get truck fixed. More down time when the #### thing should've been done while I was out. I mean it was 3 weeks. You'd think someone could've picked it up. Ok. Rant over.

 

RC ditch the you know what and be done with it. Maggots alone would cause me to do just that. Hope everything works out for you.

man i'm glad i don't do otr anymore, not enough money in the world.........

 

WEll finally home!!!!!.....I am going to try get over this cold I received quickly......and enjoy these next two and half days off...........

 

So I made stage 3. And lost a big chunk of my pay. Not sure how or why that makes sense but I can't afford it for long. Ramen noodles mmm mmm mmm

 

Yeah Sally told me that during the interview. Their logic behind it, is because you're running northeast during stage 3 you're getting the additional $0.10. So it works out to a $0.01 increase.

 

No, the TRUCK gets $.10. You split that with your trainer. I'm glad you were told upfront about it though.

 

Ahhh. It appears we were each told a half truth . Well in your case maybe 1/4 truth.

 

You get .10 solo. But if you are team/trainee you split it.

 

Completed the 3 stopper BH load in California, went to Stockton and grabbed my half loaded dry van, 6799, only to find a tire had separated from the rim. Missed my pickup for the rest of the load amd now have to sit until the AM. Now sitting at the 49er kicking back and chilling out. When I get back its time to get my trainee into the Northeast and finish him up. So far so good. And the laugh of the day, a car hit the reefer I had earlier in Oakland this Morning, and when I pulled off to do the exchange, etc., she drove off. That has to be a first.
