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

Hmmm......I would venture a guess and say W Memphis, but I've been know to be wrong on occasion. I still would call into Rusty though.

 

Wonder what they would say if they found my book with the launch codes in it?

 

Sitting here in Sparks. We deliver at 7am in the morning. We had extra time in this load, so we ran hard to get here and do a reset. It's all good, I've put in 3500 miles since leaving the house Wednesday. If I can always grab fresh hours with a trainee, I'll take it. I could think of a whole lot worse places to spend a 34.

 

I need to talk about my trainee, Carl. Dude wants this, listens, asks questions and thinks. We get along fine, and that's saying a lot, I'm not the easiest person to cohabitate a 70 sq ft space with. Hell, my wife and I share 2900 sq ft at the house and occasionally get on each other's nerves, and I'm home less then I am in this truck.

It's refreshing to train someone like Carl, after 12 trainees, he's the second one to actually take notes instead of pictures of the scenery.

He will be stage 2 for another round to the west coast, then when we get back he will test out for stage 3 a week from Thursday, then we will go home. After home time I'll take him to Brooklyn then he's on his own.

I will probably take a month off from training, then if they can find one that doesn't smoke, dip, chew, spit or vape, I'll do another before I take a month off in September/October and go to the Mediterranean with my wife for 3 weeks. For now, I'm going to rest all day, be safe everyone, God Bless!

 

They are the first of the 25 Volvos we are getting in. Go see bill in the morning, maybe one had your name on it.
