Where exactly are you headed down in Florida? I have to drop a trailer at Publix in Sarasota in the morning. Not sure how that's going to work. Dispatch just said drop
your trailer at the dock and we will bobtail you somewhere Monday to get a load. I am currently getting a 34 in Tampa doing laundry.
Hope you enjoyed your home time and the visit with your parents. Be safe

Had a great time with Mom and Dad..... thanks.
You be safe too.... See you somewhere.......Strykor and The Challenger Thank this. -
Things are going great!
Nathan is keeping on top of my loads, and giving me some really good miles. Yesterday after unloading (dropping), he shot me up to Lakeland to grab a trailer and off to Atlanta to get loaded today (gave me lots of time to get it done, too). Now I am on my way to Allentown, PA for a delivery Thursday morning, then to a place just outside Syracuse NY to empty out on Friday morning.... then who knows.
Tonight I am sitting in Blacksburg, SC. with lots of time to make it to my first delivery
Really happy with Abilene. Bunches of miles. Quick reloads.
So, yes..... if you are considering coming on board with Abilene, I would definately recommend them. Just remember, no matter where you go to work, it's all about attitude.94coupe, Truckie83, Strykor and 1 other person Thank this. -

No they have Volvos, Mack's and Cascadias. The majority are Volvos.
The Challenger Thanks this. -
I hear tell that Abilene trucks are all automatic. Any truth to that?
I also hear that they are starting to look for drivers straight out of school. -
ThePikey Thanks this.

OK, so from the sounds of it, I am headed back to Florida tomorrow (W Palm Beach and Boca) Ran out of Fulton, NY yesterday after delivering just south of Syracuse. Within 30 minutes of unloading, they had me dispatched. Then, when I delivered in NJ today, they deadheaded me back to Richmond to stage me for this load tomorrow. Getting paid for all miles, so its a good thing.
Downside was that it poured down from just south of Binghamton, NY all the way through Philly. Hit Philly at 0830 and Wash DC at 1530. So yeah, did a lot of sitting and listening to the radio. On the positive side.... sure was glad to be driving an automatic. Considering I sat roughly 2 hours in traffic, it sure made it a lot more tolerable.
6 days so far = 2911 miles. Should be between 3400 and 3500 miles by tomorrow night. And I don't have to deliver until Monday morning so it should be a pretty easy Sunday.
It just keeps getting better and betterStrykor Thanks this.
