    We don't do any stuff like that. Our thickest product is Caustic. I was bringing ferric sulfate to them. That's what really confused me with the air off/pump off. 90% the sheets have bad info on them, and we really only used the pumps for Aqua ammonia, and methanol.

    Next load L.A to Chicago, 2100 miles. Had to do one of those weigh on outside scale then load then weigh heavy and come back type of deals but it's done now. Unloading at Behr so that should be easy. Crazy good miles lately. I was running 2 days early on that Philly load but my truck developed a starter problem.

    Went to get fuel at the Loves in Carlisle, PA and it wouldn't start. So if you want to know why a guy might block the pumps for 54 minutes. ....it might be because his truck won't start. Anyway, it mysteriously started again and I didn't shut it down till I got to Flagstaff and took it to the dealer. Bad starter, 16 hours sitting there, but I get to tack on breakdown pay to the load so pretty decent. Plus I was still a day early, which got me this load!

    I should be okay in getting there, I've been to that bulkmatic yard before. Where do they unload tankers at in there though?

    Ya it's about 2 miles north of bulkmatic
    It'll be on the left/west side of state st.
    First gate you come to is the one you want.
     
    ethos Thanks this.
