    Any dry van or reefer should have tanker. Reason is those pallet size tanks of liquid. They require tanker.

    This new kingpin release doesn’t release too well. Other driver verifying. Doesn’t bother me. Just so long I can release it manually once I release it. I’m glad it’s there to lock the kingpin in.

    They’ll haul those tanks on a flatbed I’m sure. You never taken one of those loads?

    Btw this place Im loading...

    I had to take 8 straps off my winches, roll them up and place them on the front of my trailer for them to strap the load down with.

    Also, I am not allowed in my truck while they're loading me. I have to sit in the driver area in their building. Pretty sure thats against cdc guidelines right now.

    Any liquid over a certain RQ no matter the container its in requires a tanker endorsement.

    But no, I mostly haul construction materials. Not much call for tanker with that stuff.

    It does not matter.

    IF you were not a prexisting credit business account AND a previous loan holder etc with a major bank as of Feb 15 with Chase and Feb 20 with BOA etc you get nothing.

    Since most small business 20 people or less run clean books with tiny accounts or no debts to speak of (As in no loans) they get nothing.

    So we expect a total loss across the board in months to come.

    I’m finding out. He’ll was raised with everyone about my leaving. Everyone.

    Last Nov. they asked me about my expectations at end of orientation. One thing I told them: I will not tolerate making a truck stop in Nebraska, my home.
    Well? 17 days of wasting my time on 2 problems. 17 days of patronizing me. Not listening. And treating me like I caused one of them.
    I could have done 17 runs in that 3 months. 17 runs making money. Instead of sitting.

    In a random store today. Mr Nose busy body inc was hovering near the toilet paper shelving which is empty bottom to top.

    Sure I have a few but nothing here.

    Mr Busy body, "You have some for me?"

    HA... as if.

    Not to be mean but there was a oppertunity to buy bales of it leading up to the Covid all since last winter and here we are. Nothing at all.

    Local sewer dept is learning that most people are dumping wipes and t shirts by the way... so they are not happy.

    The next truck? for the Busy Body? A week from today. Courtesy of Werner Inc. If they ever back into the full lot.
