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

That’s definitely a bucket list item.

 

My load to Lockbourne was non-existent as somebody messed up something in the system. Next load I chose was showing on the yard but really wasn’t. Finally load to Lowe’s in Findlay on the yard, hook to it and pti the trailer got a flat tire and 1/4 of the lights not working….

 

Merry go round with loads today. Somebody from higher up than the Wytheville planner chewed the planner out for offering me the Findlay load when there were other hotter loads. Planner offered me the hotter loads but I chose the Findlay load so it was given to me. Well, had to turn around and bring the Findlay load back and forced to take this Upper Marlboro glass load instead, Ive done it before, easy peasy except for DC morning rush traffic. Will have 0 hours left when I get back to Galax with the empty racks. Hate taking a 34 beginning of the week but oh well…..

 

Coming off hometime in the morning, gotta run by the Wilson yard,to grab a trailer going to Front Royal,thand dropping back down to Richmond to get a couple thins fixed on the truck.

 

Finally made it back to Galax to drop the empty glass racks and now a 34. Just watched one of our drivers run over a yellow plastic reserved sign at the pilot, heard a loud pop and yup, dude ran it right over…..

 

Some driver smashed the little trash hopper they have set out in the yard with the the trl in the crete Wilmer yard early this morning and took off…clowns

 

Man, I ain't done that run in years.

First time I did it was my first trip to downtown Chicago when I was still super wet behind the ears. Had to back into a warehouse off the street. Nose of the truck was halfway out into the lane while they were unloading me. Only had 20 minutes left on my clock when they finished unloading me and putting the empty racks back on the trailer, so I spent the night on an on-ramp in suburban Chicago.

Good times.
