New shop addition
benefits customers
|
|
Abilene Motor Express has expanded the shop at its Richmond, Virginia
headquarters. The shop now includes a total  of
14 work bays, with expanded space for parts, a special wash bay for
tractors and trailers, and a complete body shop. This expansion
supports our company's already diligent repair and replacement program
to keep Abilene
tractors and trailers in top shape and on the road.
Customers see fewer breakdowns with Abilene's late model equipment. We
trade every three years — the average age of our equipment is 18
months.
