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

Well, Mack and Volvo are one in the same basically, but my company just took delivery of a new Mack Anthem a month ago. It was only on the road three days before needing to go back to the Mack dealership for repairs. The front end was so far out of alignment that the driver it was assigned to said that if he let go of the steering wheel, it would #### near take a right turn. With that fixed, the truck developed a major vibration on it's third day in service. Our mechanics think it's something mis-aligned or loose in the driveline and/or components. Mack, of course, says they can't find the problem, and still has the truck while they try to figure out what course of action to take.

 

That’s what high dollar union labor gets you nowadays.

 

Welp, sleep was not in the cards for me tonight. Second night in a row with thunderstorms and tornado warnings and all manner of things preventing a peaceful slumber. Had a real gully-washer come through here about 1:00am, like God Himself was emptying a bucket.

So I am going to take advantage of my wide-awake status and hit the road. There is never a good time to drive through Atlanta, but 2:30am seems to be about as good as it's likely to get.

 

My plans to make it across Atlanta in a timely fashion have hit a snag:

 

Good luck on 77 & 81. Construction on 77 and idiots on 81.

 

All Foil in Strongsville,Oh in &out 40 minutes,now just twiddling thumbs waiting on you know lol.

 

Just burn off 100 gallons of fuel and you will be fine…

@jarhead0311,I hope the truck works out for you,I know i've been through quite a few trucks,and I know moving stinks.
