Our OTR fleet does most of their washing on the road. In Ottumwa we run a lot of dedicated trailers that don't need rewashing for caustics and acids. Our bean squeezin' trailers are mostly toploaded. Lysine is washed at the loading facility prior to use.
The Foodliner guys seem to have a wash facility at each terminal and tend to run short dedicated frieght.

How many O/Os to company drivers do you think are there at Foodliner? Are they pushing you or other drivers to go the O/O route? Someone told me that its a $1.25 a mile there for O/O. Not bad considering many are getting only a .91-1.00 a mile now.

Glad to hear you are doing well. I'm hauling mail now for $1265 a week. I'm mildly happier. I don't like teaming, but I had to pay the bills. -
Good thread.
I was at your Blue Grass tankwash last Thursday. Had a dedicated load out of our Superior Carriers Memphis Terminal. Nice facility there in Blue Grass. I also mentioned that I was about to run my 14 out and the tankwash guy hurried to get me washed out in time to make it up to the Iowa 80 TA. I was impressed with that operation.
Do you guys have any terminals in North Carolina? -

That stuff goes right to their heads and they're already concieted enough.
