    Just curious, saw an Abilene trailer in my hometown of Stuarts Draft VA but the tractor was red. I'm assuming an O/O? Didn't get the chance to go back and check on it. Love the Abilene blogs. I get my trucking fix reading these informative posts and hope all you folks drive safe and careful in the icy rain on the east coast!!

    Addicting for sure!! I was north on I81 two weeks before Thanksgiving and also Thanksgiving week. Saw some Abilene trucks at the cold storage facility at Strasburg. Also saw an Abilene a couple of weeks ago at Lee Hi Truck stop in Lexington. Have subscribed to the Abilene blogs here so check back as soon as the email notification comes in. Thanks to all you Abilene drivers that post. Be safe!!

    Does it ever not rain in Houston? We ran across 10 during the night to avoid the mess across 20. A little longer but a lot safer. I'll be delivering at 4am instead of midnight tonight.

    Just took over here at the Loves in Talipoosa Ga. I have 290 miles to go to finish this load, then who knows where too next. This round to and from California sure has taken its toll on this old man.
     
    The Challenger and BigBrin Thank this.
