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

Haven't looked fully into it yet, but I got a teenage son who's going to be graduating from high school next year, and a daughter who will graduate the year after that. So it might be something I consider useful, depending on where the college credits come from and how easily they can transfer to a local college or trade school.

 

Had no idea this was done with mulch!! Have seen potato’s , cotton seed.

 

This was after a bale exploded and the forklift driver was too stupid to backdrag with the last bale. This was in Louisiana during the summer. Was a fun sweaty time. View attachment 409948

 

Was wondering how they were going to unload this mulch, thought maybe they had one of those machines that tilts the truck and trailer back to dump the trailer out but they had me back up to a portable ramp and unloaded me with a small front end loader. They used a leaf blower and push broom themselves to clean out the trailer, didn't have to clean it out myself or hit up blue beacon. Thankfully next load isn't a food load, one of those Marshall loads that pick up in Compton.

 

When I talked to my DM yesterday she said the west coast planner was also working another area besides his own and that he might be behind on west coast ppl. I didn't get planned either until I was almost to the receiver yesterday.

 

Stopped at the Loves in Lake Havasu to get fuel and a few of the pumps were down. Im behind one of the good ones waiting and this driver pulls up to one of the bad ones next to me, two lanes to my right were down with one blocked by trash cans and the other with the yellow bags on the nozzles. He tries to back out because there was a YRC truck parked in front of the one with bags and can't get around my trailer so he stops to get out so he stops and gets out and moves the trash cans out of the way and zips right through not stopping to put the trash cans back. I figured he wouldn't cuz it looked like he was about 450 lbs. Sure enough another truck pulls in thinking the pump was good and me being nice let him know it was not working and when he pulled out I dragged one of the cans over and this woman driver pulls in and stomps on the accelerator as Im walking over to get the other can and rams the trash can I put in front of the lane and I stared at her and she rolls down her window and asks what is going on....pump is down knucklehead.....

 

did he have flip-flops on too.

 

Yeah, he actually did.

 

This is the job for me, as I’m an expert at baiting a hook. Some might even say a master baiter.

I’ll see myself out.
