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

After getting the ok to run thru Phoenix into LA to avoid the 900 miles of bad weather across 40, David got us down Rockwall Tx. We have it worked out to where whoever is driving and needs fuel , that person will fuel, clean the windows and get it ready for the next driver at the end of his shift while the new driver goes in to wash up, get some coffee and to do pre- trip. I took over at 11pm last night. At about 5am I hit freezing rain, iced over bridges and overpasses and a ton of four wheelers in get ditch, and this is with the sand trucks out doing their sanding. I ran out of it at about Van Horn and made it to Anthony Texas and ended my shift. I had to call all 4 of my stops to let them know I'm on time for delivery, then went to bed.

I have it worked out to where I'll start my clock in order to get to all my stops, deliver, drop the trailer at Colton with the last drop for the local driver to do on Monday, hook my new load then get to Barstow for a shower, then have David take over from there. Right now I'm up, bored and restless.

 

That was you we passed today. Suppose to have a bigger storm tomorrow and Sunday to go through.

 

Thats how it was a few years ago, all winter long I missed every snow flake.

Running around the LA area making drops. I had to stop last night in ehrenburgh az because I got sleepy, and tired of fighting all the rain. I got up at midnight and made it to my first drop right at my 4am appt time. We got our reload info. Picking up a produce load in Colton going to Wally World in gordonsville for Monday morning.
