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

Darn those good parent types... We need to have a talking to them and soon... What would this country be like if that attitude were to ever catch on.

But there is also joy in giving and freedom in accepting a gift... And it's not welfare... The trainee is earning it as a reward for passing the test and more importantly listening.

But hey, you can give your portion to me...

Stay Safe boys and girls... Time for this driver to roll on to PA and NJ... Peace

 

I obviously missed something.

The only thing guaranteed is death and taxes.

 

My biggest issue, is that I have been out of work for over 3 years from my last job. My stamina is zilch right now. I can drive a Suburban with a trailer from Dallas to Mobile with no issues, but that is not doing it on a daily basis.

I'm fully expecting to start in Stage 2 or three. I've driven in the NE, but not much out west. I need to stretch my legs out west and build my stamina.

 

I have made 40k a year for my first two years as an otr driver. Which is ok because I'm retired military.

 

My state will downgrade my license if I allow my medical card to expire. They mail out a warning a couple months prior to expiration.

 

Probably not til U give em the update???

 

You're a good cat johnboy Abilene is lucky to have you, as are your trainees. I've never had one second of training, and subsequently have made mistakes that I wouldn't have made if I had a trainer. Like the time I tried to drop a trailer loaded with 45k of roll paper without dumping the suspension. Or the time I tore my trailer flaps off backing over a curb. Ad infinitum. I hope the guys lucky enough to get schooled by you, and others like you, realize how lucky they are.
