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

That's what you'll drive every week. We get paid every 2 weeks.
Let's use 2300 miles per week, x2 equals 4600 x .38 + .10 = $2208 + 4 NYC crossings = $2408. There's always freight to run on the weekends if you want to make a little xtra coin.

 

It should be 1-3 weeks per stage. But like MD said, some are quicker then others. If you get it, one month, if you don't, 9 weeks.

 

I don't take it as being snarky. They are a team, and I fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of teaming. The only limitation that I put on myself, is my unhealthy fear of NYC. No amount of money is worth me going there. Period. Using the 400 some odd other drivers argument that I keep hearing, I should never have to go to NYC, as there are 399 some odd other drivers who have no issue going. Same as I hear many drivers at the AME-R yard that don't like to go to Texas.
Yes, Abilene is a 48 state forced dispatch. Luckily for me, NYC is not a state.

 

I forgot to ask something btw, what kind of trucks do you guys get are they manual or auto?

 

All auto,kw,volvo,freightliner,and macks.
@Danch don't sweat the NE it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

 

If its a red pull button there is a bar between the front set of tandems you move from paas side to driver side. Be very careful when doing this as it is under spring pressure could easily injure your hand. Best thing is to hit it with something. Don't grab it with your hand like I did once.

 

I should have read all posts before answering.

 

I'm going to steal @KD5AXG's phrase. Jealous, I am! LOL. I've never been on a cruise. Terrible motion sickness so thought it might not be a good idea. But would really like to.

 

Well, there was a touch of sarcasm in my comment... LOL .... But the length can vary.

 

Thanks for the encouragement, I like a challenge anyway lol
