From Day One - Abilene Motor Express (Richmond, Wytheville, VA)

thought i was lost on 81 this afternoon saw 5-6 Abilene trucks on 40 in Flagstaff
of course I usually am up on 80 but with 15 a mess i jumped south

 

Hello fellow Abilene'ers. Been awhile since I've been on here. Things are still going. Finally got the driver side fairing replaced that was tore up when i got the truck looks like a new truck now.
Last week finally made ot all the way to the west coast. I've had a few loads going out west but i usually had truck issues. But i finally made it. Hopefully the curse is broken.

 

So after riverside. I went to San Bernadino picked up a load going to Just on the outside of Toronto, Canada really enjoyed this 2500 mile trip. After got empty there went to Angola, NY to Prince George, Va Beautiful scenery on the back roads of NY and PA. Picked up a BH of yard in Richmond to Columbus, Oh supposed to drop loaded trailer and pick up loaded trailer going to Valley Park, Mo. Supposed to be ready at 1800 fri but wasn't ready till 1600 Sat so just went ahead and finshed a 34 restart while watching football on TV. Now sitting at Customer in Missouri.

 

Glad to hear from you Jeff, hopefully we'll cross paths this week in Richmond.

 

oops, my bad. I saw you called but was completely in a lost space getting things done around the house. I'll text you later to see if you're awake.

 

Currently in Miami. Things have been going good over the past few weeks. The only bad thing thats happened is i did a load from California to near Toronto, Canada 2455 miles I didn't get paid for. So happen i was at the yard and went in and talked to payroll they were going to put it on the card I asked just to make sure on next check so this Thursday will see. So for anyone that happens to del a load in Canada payroll says to call on phone after you s an paperwork to make sure you get paid that trip. Something about computer program doesn't get the Canada trips.

 

If you notice when at the Richmond yard the shop has improved compared to 6 months ago. Would like to thank Joe and bis crew. Don't get me wrong i still get frustrated at times but am happy to say i see improvements. Hopefully it will continue. Nite all please be safe and just a suggestion have you turned on your bunk heater to make sure it works. You'll need it in a few weeks.

 

5 speed Hope you enjoy ur newer truck.
