If we get a load cancelled with less than 24 hours notice the customer gets charged a load cancellation fee . It helps but only pays for 1 day and dispatch usually has loads booked 2 or 3 days in advance .

Oh yeah? Our's mainly get canceled if there's trouble with a frac job or trouble at a disposal company that we cant get rid of the flowback or drill mud they want us to haul. We don't ever want to get stuck with a load in the tank and nowhere to take it that day, especially in the winter time.

well, some companies use torches but a local fella died that way because he had some drip gas in his load. We have heat tape and insulation around some of our valves and some trucks have anti-freeze run through their valves. If one of our trucks does freeze up we just take it back to the shop, put it inside and put a big turbo heater facing it.

I pulled a load of transformer oil from Greensboro up to a paper mill in Rumsford Maine last winter. It was during that big snow storm that slammed New York City. I ran 81 behind the mountains Sat. and Sun. There was very little snow. Made it all up to my delivery point on time for an 8 am Monday delivery.
I called the contact person on my travel order and was told they had postponed filling the transformers until the next Monday because of the snow storm. Turned around and started heading back. They had me deliver the oil to a holding facility in Lynchburg Va.pathfinder1361 Thanks this. -
