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

From what I understand, all the trainers had a part in that. No matter to me really. I'll be making my own soon enough. As far as I'm concerned the "cost" of tuition was/is well worth it for me.

 

Ive done sugar from south bay and a broker fruit load from Hialeah.

The sugar load i got loaded a couple hours early. Their process is disjointed at best but just go in shipping office say you never been there before and they are helpful enough.

The broker load was pretty straightforward except for the long delays that always accompany broker loads I have done. That was the place I was suggesting you could sneak in and park but I am guessing you dont have a reefer.

 

Thats south florida for you. It is shocking how congested it has become in the 13 years since I lived there.

If you can I would strongly advise waiting until night to leave so you can make decent progress.

Are you delivering coolers or parts?

 

There is something screwy going on with the hp loads. I am sitting on one right now with enough time to do a 34 reset before appointment tomorrow but thats not half of what is strange about it.

 

Yes... Something is very much out of whack... Loads not ready, or cancelled/delayed... I took five coolers to a publix as a live unload... They were not ready for them so I had to drop my trailer for them to use as storage. So I lost my tight PrePlanned live load fifty miles away... Oh well... They will get it together soon.

 

Chralb, you should stop and get you a big ol heaping bowl of pintos and some cabbage, and give j.b. a going away party he'll never forget lol you may be his last trainee after that

 

Don't deliver till tomorrow noon,im only about 23 miles out hopefully by the time I leave in the morning the rush hour crew will be weeded out.

 

Yea I was the one that asked, I appreciate it.

 

Question: How soon after orientation do you get with your trainer?

 

usually that afternoon or the next morning
