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

This is my number one gripe with the Volvo. The lane nanny is bad enough, but don't interrupt my music or my podcasts with it.

On the other hand, this sounds really annoying as well.

Bah. We should've gone back to buying KWs.

 

I agree the KW would have been better than the Freightliners. They can put cummins instead of paccar if they don’t like the paccar engines. That is my only complaint with the Volvos is they have it programmed to interrupt the stereo, they can change the programming as far as that goes but you know safety would just say slow down.

 

Hanging out at the loves in Groveport,got up here this morning with 9 on the 70,nothing coming back till tomorrow night,abilene suggested a reset,we'll see what tomorrow brings.

 

Reset up 0300 tomorrow here in Wytheville. Called chris up and got preplanned on a gatorade to collierville, tn. Says 0700 preload but will go over early to see if preloaded. Might be live load, never know there. Chris and Rob do a bang up job weekend wise. Miss Chris as a DM, way better than what they hired for permanent down in WM.

 

Gotta love gatorade, over 140 on drives, over 40 on the tandems and 880 over gross. Hope they get it right this time.

 

Finishing up a reset tonight,than grabbing a bh early morning for Savannah Wednesday morning.

 

It amazes me how much more things go smoothly,when you can stay away from the yards,that's the first time I've taken a reset,and actually needed it in a long time.

 

I think I may have been to that bh distributor a couple times. If it’s the one I’m thinking, it’s very quiet.

 

I have always felt that we should get detention for the full time we're in the dock getting a rework. Sadly, HQ disagrees.

In other, more annoying news, I just got a call from HQ offering me a load to Reno. I would love to go. Would love the miles. Haven't been out west in over a year. But I turned 'em down, because I can't trust this truck to get me there on time. Gonna head to West Memphis and see if the shop there can do anything.

 

That’s why they offered the load to you.. knowing your truck wouldn’t make it so they’d give it someone else..
