    No I-95 corridor for me! I had a short load to South Dakota yesterday. On my way now to west Texas with enzymes, then back to Nebraska for another load of the same stuff heading to Indiana. That's my week right there.

    Had to down to San Antonio to unload that junk grease at someone who would take it. Really irritating location. Hard to get to and had to deal with scaling in and out at a 3rd party location. And of course my dispatch puts me on a run 20 miles down the road.

    Why is this a problem?

    Because NOBODY wants to washout a grease load except big name facilities that can treat their own water. Which means driving back to waxahachie or Houston then coming back. I choose waxahachie even though it was a little farther because they are usually quicker. My washes in Houston have been 10 hours+


    5 hours later mine is done, but I can't make it back in time, so 10 hour break...sigh.

    I can't claim detention and they dont pay me for tankwashes and they can't fathom why I get upset when They put these grease and polymer loads on me. They think every tankwash takes an hour with every product.

    I had some thick polymer the other day, tank wash guy said I cleaned your hose really good. That nite I noticed it all running out of the hose he cleaned really good. Guess he sprayed down both ends so it looked clean but was all in middle. Oh well it still works :)

    They usually don't like to placard the meth when transported.. they keep it on the hush hush and just call it Nalco 7480 or something like that
     
    Bud A., slim shady and ncdriver1 Thank this.

    Yep , only 25 for being loaded an 35 for unloading then only 10 hr after first two. It sounds horrible I agree but our empty and bobtail miles pay same as loaded so somehow It works out. But 30 hr after two I would be a lot happier camper lol
