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

Got empty then got out to US13 and a white freightliner pulling a tank decided to try a U-turn where he shouldn’t have and caused a mess. Grain hauler doing a evasive maneuver damaged the back corner of his hopper and a power company bucket truck wasn’t so lucky and hit the tractor and flipped over blocking the whole north bound side. Needless to say I wasn’t able to make it to the flying j near the ikea warehouse due to having to take a long detour so Im parked in the rest area off 301 instead. Didn’t notice my cb antenna adapter where it screws into the bracket vibrated loose so I lost my good antenna in DE on US13….

 

Thank you for the great explanation to my question. I appreciate your polished response.

 

Welp, in exciting personal news, it seems that I am passing a kidney stone. There are other possibilities to explain my current situation, but the doctor feels that's the most likely explanation.

I would not wish this on my worst enemy, but it's even worse when you're stuck in a truck. I'm pitched up at the Swift Yard in Memphis, with plans for returning to the urgent care clinic as soon as they open here in a few hours.

 

Yikes! After 3 rounds with kidney stones, I can sympathize with you. 2nd round, I drove from Byhalia MS back home. Longest dang ride. Being sick in the truck is a different experience for sure. Hope you’ve got some good meds to help with the flow and the pain and that you feel better soon.

 

I feel for ya buddy. Been there, took a long time, but passed that.

 

After a dark weekend spent entirely at the Swift terminal in Memphis, during which I went to the doctor twice, I am once again back on the road. Still suffering, but am able to drive at least. Asked 'em to give me something that would get me back to Richmond, and wasn't time-critical. Because this driver will be making frequent stops. They gave me a load of parts going to Hill-Phoenix, drop any time before 5:00pm Wednesday, which suits me just fine.

If this situation hasn't resolved itself by the time I get there, I'm just gonna scoot home early for my planned hometime.

 

Hope you feel better soon and praying the stones pass soon for you.

 

Delivered to Knauf in Opelika, Al Sunday then bounced to their main warehouse up the highway to hook a preloaded trailer to MO. I get hooked to it and discover 3 of the door hinges on the right door are broken. This is why I hate D&H because of the idiots that don’t have enough integrity to report damage they have done. There is the chance the yard driver did it but Im betting a driver dropped it as is. After empty they sent me to the swift yard in St. Louis to fix it. I reiterated multiple times I better not get the blame for it. Can’t believe they would load a trailer with a broken door. Load in the morning in Evansville, IN to Lowes in Richmond.
