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

Ya, no need to speed through construction zones, I'm with you there... My issue with construction zones are when they are 10 miles long and only workers in less than a mile of it... I am all for safety of the workers, IF workers are present but really... Ten miles of orange barrels?

My dad rarely used the cruise... He could pick a speed and not vary 2 mph off it for miles or hours.... Not me, I am all over the eff'ing place if I rely on my foot for consistency.

 

Agreed... I have been lucky that the last few days to/from Florida, it's been on more than off.

 

I just used the macro last night but didn't know we needed to write it on the cover sheet too... That would be a good idea as it then gives me a reminder for what's expected when pay day hits and I forgot about that load.

I used it last night when a simple live load of cantaloupe took 4.5 hours from arrival to scale... Not that it took that long to actually load but due to other issues that kept it from being a simple bump the dock and roll.

Misinformation, miscommunication, overloaded by 4K so had to return... I may not get paid but someone's gonna hear about it.... LOL

Some of these darn brokered back haul loads are such a waste of drive time... Over the simplest pieces of data. Not Abilenes fault but I still put in for the pay.

Getting paid, well we will see... LOL

 

I was told on my 9 hr unload to note all detention times on that TO's cover sheet. We'll see what happens this pay period.

 

What size boob tubes y'all runnin' in your land ships? KW's mainly, but interested in all.

Thanks.

 

Mine was a broker load also. Didn't finish until 11am. Its going to Richmond area tomorrow and I was planning to drive straight through to yard from Atlanta but the traffic was getting in my nerves so I am stopped for 30.

 

I promised myself a 32 incher when my 3 month probation is over. Im in a freightliner that doesn't have a tv mount though so I'm going to have get MacGuyver on it.

 

Well, of course it is!

 

That just doesn't look good for Abilene, IMHO. 400 to 500 trucks, a ND you have that many in one place away from the terminal? The Pilot in Richmond is bad enough.

Just makes me SMH.
