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

Sitting on the side of I-270, between Frederick, MD and DC, with my 5th trailer tire blowout of the year.

Trailer tire blowouts in the first 8 years of me driving for Abilene: 2
Trailer tire blowouts in the calendar year of 2025: 5

Not a fan of our new "retread only" policy for trailer tires.

This load is gonna be late now, too. Hopefully the "retread only" policy is worth it.

 

Their retreads are low quality..my company uses retreads and i can’t remember the last time i blew one…knight being super cheap isn’t cheap at all when road svc calls are nonstop

 

After my 34 was up I picked up a paper load in West Point to Chattanooga which I delivered this morning and was a little late since I got pulled in for a level three at the scale in Tn on I81. He said he passed me cuz I was able to send my logs without him having to do it himself, lol! Deadheaded me to Volvo for a York which Ill drop Sat. Betting they setting me up with that OBX load again since everybody else seems to end up in the ditch there. Definitely a dumpster fire here lately….
