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

If waiting meant being late...on my first ever run...for one of our top customers...the one i was told to never be late for if I wanted to keep my job then yeah, I would have stuck enough in the tank to get there.

 

Used it many times both at the yard and T stops. The issue was that i was still showing on a trainer's truck AND my newly assigned truck.

Wonder if I will get two checks next payday?

 

But who cares about "valid excuses" when the driver can step up to save the delivery, and get reimbursed for it.

Like I said, depends on the load and I sure would not top off the tanks...

But sometimes we need to be part of the solution... "Valid Excuse" or not... LOL

 

That's the right way to look at it... And then I would be bending the ear of someone at Richmond to see that it didn't happen again.

But the customer was served first.

 

Apparently there is no excuse this customer considers valid. A couple hundred bucks would have done the trick. I wouldn't have topped up tanks and DEF.

 

The most I will pay for is a turn signal bulb. Anything else the company can pay for.

 

I'm sorry but I'm not paying for fuel. It would just be late.

 

I got my 5th wheel to slide finally today. Now, my first painted pln is in the last painted hole. Got a load of water out of Reading to Gordonsville. I'll scale in the AM.

 

Ya, good luck with that... LOL

But if you do, first round is on you!!!

 

Don't think for a minute i would have gifted the company the fuel

I would most likely have gotten the money back before the CC bill was due.
