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

I've seen a so-called driver pull out of the yard with a trailer wheel locked up in the summer time

I've picked up a loaded trailer with a tire completely shredded and gone, and the bent mudflap from the force of the blowout digging into the good tire next to it

Somebody dropped it that way, and I don't know what would be scarier, that they didn't know or that they didn't care

 

There has always been a segment of drivers like this, but unfortunately that segment has grown exponentially over the last decade. Aggravating to no end.

 

Start paying drivers for the shop time will eliminate a lot of it. A guy doesn't want to sit 8 hrs for free so he leaves for the next guy, I don't condone it but, I understand it.

 

I'm still at the Speedco

 

I noticed that an Abilene truck was pulling a Knight trailer. Is that been happening lately or am I just noticing it?

P.S. I am just a nosey person

 

We had a driver this summer had a wheel locked up. Mechanic told him not to move but the driver is a jackwad and didn’t want to wait. A mile down the road, on train tracks at a busy intersection the tire blew. He still has a job.

 

@JohnBoy

You jinxed me.

My first flat steer.

 

I really miss that place.
No, not for that reason.
