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

LOL ... those 12ft signs are there for possible snow pack building up on the road and reducing the clearance. I didn't know that either first time under one and I did exactly the same thing.

 

@Hoot67 - this is Abilene thread.

 

Taking a down day at the yard today. Not many miles this week, but used up my 70. #### I95.

Getting an oil leak fixed.

I got a strange msg on my QC late yesterday. It said that I had slipped through the cracks and was getting a raw deal. This person said they were going to call me later that day, that call never came.

I'm so confused.

 

They knocked about 3 years off my life easily.

 

Anyone had their truck washed by those guys on the yard?. He says its free but have no clue what a typical tip would be as i don't know what he charges the company.

 

I had them wash my last truck a couple of weeks ago. Great job, IMHO. The subject of a tip never came up. Now, they are building a new wash facility for them to wash our trucks, and they have no room to wash them now. Sadly.

I have a wash on my card, but I can't find a Blue Beacon that takes the EFS card. What am I doing wrong?

 

Another driver said $10 would be ok.

 

Well finally made it home last night and will be coming back out on monday. 3850 was my mileage for the last 8 days. We were out 3 weeks. Hoping to go somewhere north and west of 40/35 while training, get chance to see something else.

For some reason (insanity maybe, glutton for punishmen . ??) I am contemplating being a northeast regional driver. Does anyone have a contact with someone who is or has done it so i can get an idea of what it is mileage and work wise. I know the basics....traffic nyc small tight areas and .10cpm more and weekends off... want to try and make an informed decision as to whats best for me and the family.

 

You don't need your card. Just go in and give them your name company name truck and trl #. Then sign the receipt.

 

Sigh.....Out of service awaiting parts. So much for a simple oil leak.
