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

From my experience in the past being a trainer, I saw firsthand a lot of the garbage that goes on like these companies, wanting the trainers to sign off on these guys that absolutely have no clue how to operate a truck just saw they can get their government funded training money… And I had one guy one time never even made it off the property when he opened his mouth and told me that “I already know everything there is to know about driving a truck. You can’t tell me anything” that’s when I turn around and threw him off right then and there .

 

Just watch in the evening or mornings in the truckstop, very few open their hoods and do any sort of post/pre trip. Just turn they key off and waddle into the truckstop to stuff their pie holes.

At the end of my day, I do a thorough post trip, at the beginning of my day I check tires, lights, and a quick check that I haven’t dropped any fluids overnight.

 

Got another awesome products load to dollar tree in Savannah. They started loading an hour later than my appt but they are quick once they start though. MS DOT was working it hard across 22 east today.

 

Pm done,new batteries,plus new steers and drive tires.

Even got to talk to the legend himself,been a good day.

 

Seems 4 yrs ago you were readying yourself for retirement soon Johnboy , I was with Poly trucking around the time if I recall you taking on with Abilene. Appx May of 18 ... maybe before.
Did Abilene talk ya out of it ?

 

Hope you are doing well John , I believe we exchanged #s and talked on phone about Calex at 1 time.
