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

These new trucks coming from the factory are not aligned. The slap tires on them and roll them off the assembly line.

 

Just don't expect them to do the PM at the same time... You are still 4K away from needing that service so its not possible to do until 2k early ... Or do I was told when I ask to have my PM done 3k early...

So expect/plan to leave the mothership knowing that you will then be returning for your 50k PM within a week or so.

 

Sir, you are not seeing the positive aspects here... For every rig coming off the line needing an alignment, another worker in the chain will need to fix it... The UAW is helping to support our economy by putting more money in the pockets of their brothers... Which in turn spend said money in stores ... Win/Win!!!

{please note the sarcasm}

 

I'd take a Freightliner anyday over the KW. Don't know much about Volvo's dependability.

 

My 2015 KW is heads and shoulders better than the 2016 Freightshaker I was trained in. JMHO tho.

 

368 mountain miles to go and only 5.5 hrs to get there in. I thought the DM's were supposed to work around your hours, not against them.

 

Haven't driven the Freightliner yet, but so far the KW has been better to drive than the Volvo.

 

Came out the house today,pu an empty in Wilson,NC dropped it at Hill Phoenix in Chester,Va.Once I dropped that was sent to the yard to pu a loaded trailer that I will be dropping in IL tomorrow.

586 miles on the day not bad for coming straight out the house,any of you guys or gals know which direction we usually head to in IL.
