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

I too went into Manhattan. My t680 and a pup trailer. Third Ave and 57th st, at 2am. Outside of the $600 worth of parking tickets it was a breeze,

 

$600 parking tickets. Ouch.

 

Yes traffic nightmare made it to the city on time but all the traffic in Harlem down to Manhattan but I didn't know any better, could have used 87 took me straight to my stop. Even got a parking ticket in loading zone after I was already unloaded my back tire past cross walk. In my defense the lift gate got stuck had to hit reset button, the ticket was wrote to company paid by their largest customer so no worries. Amx has a few drivers that goes into city everyday so may take a while before new driver land a Manhattan run.

 

Yup! That's me all the way! I believe the unloading is new since CPWM has merged with BBB. I was not too happy about having to drag those pallets onto their docks, but what are ya gonna do? My only real issue with it was the attitude the guys at the first stop gave me when I was told I had to unload it. They were pretty snotty about it. Said I could take it back to VA for all they cared. I can't post my reply cause I don't want to get banned! but it would have made our former resident NYer blush. And I didn't use but one curse word in doing it! Called my FM and did get paid to drag that heavy "gourmet" water and soda, but that's between me and my fence post. Also let him know I would decline to do any more of the CPWMs that come to BBB, especially the one in Milford CT! The other 2 places were cool. A little tight to get into, the one in MA, but nice folks.

I guess it's been my week to play up here in the NE. After that lovely load, I headed to Mountain Top and got a heavy load of Gatorade and went to Indy and bobtailed to USX in Springfield OH to grab a reefer load to C&S in Abredeen MD where I'm currently burning my clock to the ground waiting for these lovely folks To finish counting the few pallets I had on the trailer. 5, yes only 5, different items and I've been here 2.5 hours. Once that's done, I'm hoping to get thru Baltimore and DC tonight before I have to shut down.

 

Not even close to what I was paid per stop. 3 pallets, 4 pallets, and 3 pallets respectively. 10 minutes each stop.

 

But just how many times did you repeat that one word and in how many different way did you use said word? Noun, verb, adjective, etc.

 

Hope to hear back Monday.

 

You guys hear that the flying j in indy burnt to the ground. 2 million in damage.

 

^^^^ Yeah, there's a few threads on here about it. Glad nobody was hurt!

 

I only get on this thread, but yea I'm glad too.
