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

Haven't had to do both in a while, but back in my early days at Abilene that was definitely a thing. Park in one dock, go to bed. Wake up when they were unloading you, and when they were done, you'd crawl to the guy next door on PC.

 

Next up deadhead from Jacksonville to Atlanta,to pu a load going to Groveport.

Nobody put my hometime request in,because my dm left,so will figure it out when we get north,can't complain about this one.

 

Change of plans deadhead to conyers,for a hp to Richmond.

 

Exit 64 was blocked due to an accident on the north bound side and stupid me got myself lost and stuck past Marlboro plant thinking I could get through to the next set of available ramps to to 95 south….ran into road closed to through traffic signs but was allowed through to turn around in the place I saw down there. Figures the accident got cleared right after I got stuck…..

 

That reload ended up over gross by 140 lbs and over 200lbs on the drives or tandems with full tanks no matter what I did. No weights listed on the bills either…..

 

@JohnBoy i fear I missed an update, and I don’t mean to pry don’t be afraid to tell me to shut up and mind my own business. Just wondering how you’re holding up and how your procedure went?

The procedure is being done on the 8th. I spent every day this week getting required exams from my primary Dr, heart Dr, blood work done, and X-rays. Apparently all this is needed and documented then sent to the Urologist. The last part was done yesterday. Everything was signed off on yesterday, so it’s a go for next Thursday. I’ll be in at 7am and should be home by 3. The hospital is literally 2 miles from the house. In the meantime, I saw my Rheumatologist after 3 months of tests and I’m scheduled to have an epidural injection the Monday after my procedure. I’m more concerned about getting my back in order than this fishing expedition the urologist will be doing.

Then, in order to go back to work, I will need to see the urologist for a follow up and clearance and finally, a company required drug test before returning to work. In the meantime, I’m enjoying the hell out of the pool with the Chocolate Lab. The plan is to be back at work on 14th. Thanks for asking.

 

3 day holiday weekend at the house,everybody be safe.

 

Hey there. Good to hear from you. I’m going to give you my complete, shortened opinion and truthful opinion about Abilene.

1) They are not, and I repeat, not the same company they were pre buyout.

2) For me they are an end to a means.

3) I don’t need the referral money.

4) Please don’t mention my name. I don’t want to be involved with any referral bonus or held responsible if you hire on, then in 2 months it goes south and I get cussed out.

Hope this helps.
