    So.. I found out my portable ac unit is the problem. The pipe I have running under the bunk to under the truck.. I basicly extended the exhaust to about 8ft.. which is allowing all that hot air back in the truck from the exhaust heat of the pipe. Guess I'm try ply wood n put it in passenger window lol

    They are paying a Bonus for drivers to get there hazmat in 2017
    In an effort to support our various shippers that ship hazardous materials, Mercer has instituted a program to encourage our contractors to add the Hazmat Endorsement to their CDLs. Any contractor who renews their CDL in 2017 and includes the Hazmat Endorsement will receive a $50.00 bonus for each of their next six hazmat loads hauled. This bonus will also be available to contractors whose CDLs are not expiring in 2017 but add the endorsement by years end. Drivers, if you have added or renewed prior to this date but still in 2017 please call Yardley Flaherty, she will update your driver file. Drivers who add the endorsement even though their CDL is not expiring in 2017 should also call Yardley. Drivers who renew their CDLs with the Hazmat Endorsement from this point forward in 2017 need not do anything. Yardley will update your file automatically.

    How to get the $300
    Renew your CDL and Include the Hazmat during 2017/Add Hazmat to your CDL in 2017
    Get with Yardley Flaherty to make sure you are updated.
    The next 6 HazMat loads will pay $50 dollars straight to the truck.

    Any Questions call Contractor Relations at ***-***-****

    There are a number of areas of the country where the Hazmat Endorsement will benefit you in terms of loading options, IN, PA, MS and UT to name a few. Not only will you benefit from the $300 bonus over 6 trips but most of these loads pay an additional Hazmat charge. This program will run until the end of the year. We will be monitoring the benefit of the program for our drivers, shippers and Mercer, if the program is successful do not be surprised to see it extended into 2018.

    That won't fix the problem though. The problem is the exhaust from the A.C. is heating up the pipe which is warming up the air. So I need to decide how to run the new exhaust lol.

    I was unloading ammonium nitrate today at a quarry. Every so often the ground would shake and you'd hear the boom a split second later. Not the most comforting thing when unloading an oxidizer in an old rusty bin :eek:

    Yeah, the pockets I was referring to are on the trailer. They are the bulkhead pockets that extend the front of the trailer 6 inches. Basically, as was said before, the trailer to kingpin is 30 inches, the pockets make it 36. That is a straight line to center. However, when you turn, you have to cover to the corner, so you need to have the distance from kingpin to the corner of the trailer for clearance. That will be approximately 60 inches bases off the confusing math formula I threw up there.

    Was thinking about popping in and saying howdy any way, but this seemed like a good time to. I'm not some fancy math genius, but couldn't you just run a tape from kp to the corner pocket and get the same measurement? Or am I more ignunt than I realized ?lol
