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

I’d love to hear that convo with TQL.

 

Finally out of the shop. Inspection is done, 2 new tires as I thought, nothing else wrong with the trailer except the left top corner. It did have a hole in it, not big, but the technician was able to see inside the trailer with a flashlight. So, after a patch job that can only be described as a hope and prayer that it will last going down the highway, I’m parked at the same Loves in Jeffersonville. I’ve driven a total of 49 miles today, spent 6 hours waiting to get into the shop, and another 1.5 hours to get everything addressed, I figure Abilene, my DM, the load planner and even the janitor got enough free work out of me today. I’ll try this again at 0500 tomorrow.

 

That was the guy who assured me that all Abilene drivers would soon be required to install their app, and I could expect a call from my DM about it.

This was 4 years ago. Still waiting on that phone call from my DM.

 

Like most drivers in this industry, he’s probably long gone.

 

at least the light still works.....

 

Doubt it could be blamed on a yard jockey.

 

At home,coming out Tuesday,was trying to get some info about the salary positions out of Statesville,but haven't heard back.

 

Passing through Albuquerque and saw a small crowd and police on an overpass and thought an accident happened, looked again and saw a young looking guy standing on the ledge of the overpass outside the fencing, looked like a teenager. Hope they talked him out of jumping off. I maintain a habit of watching every overpass for jumpers, ppl throwing stuff or shooters.

 

Crap i make more than they do without getting out of bed every day...
