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

Sitting here at Americold Atlanta. Preloaded trailer was supposed to be ready by 2:00am, but their computer system went down and they just got it back online. Truck is being put in the dock to be loaded. Given that this is Americold, I expect it'll be ready by 3:00pm.

 

Be dropping on the yard instead and a day cab will be taking this load to PFG thankfully.

 

I laughed when they tried to offer me to move into either a 19 or 20 this morning. No 23’s ready apparently. They did give some new green horn a 22 though which makes no sense being Ive got almost 19 yrs experience and here 4 yrs. What happened to putting green horns in older trucks first? Oh, well. Doing a 34 and waiting for something new to come available.

 

A lot of these training companies do that and give the new trucks to the inexperienced to tear up while they give the experience drivers beat down crap that’s on its last days

 

Got a two-stop Hill-Phoenix load going to Ogden, UT and Boise, ID. Will be my first excursion across Wyoming during wintertime. What are the good websites for staying on top of the highway conditions and closures?

 

wyoroad.info is good for wyoming. Usually pretty accurate.
