Where's u tankers loading at this morning

You will. When I ran system I almost always got a dedicated load when I had a weekend off scheduled. That way they don’t have to deal with another terminal to get you home on time.

There are a bunch of them:
N Chicago
Plaquemine
Jefferson City
Kansas City
Holland Mi
Iowa City
McIntosh Al
Washington In
Houston

 

They are for shore power. There is an extension cord plug outside. You plug a cord in there and they work.

I think an inverter can be wired to them as well.

 

Sitting here under the rack in Jefferson City. Got here yesterday at 17:45. My appointment time is 08:00 today. Last few times they have unloaded me early and I have grabbed a 10 and headed back the next morning.

This time the tanks were full so had to take my break first. Tanks still won’t hold all of it. At least I got the layover clock running and will have a fresh 14 once they get me unloaded.

 

I was 14 hours early for my appointment so any demurage starts at the appointment time. I will get to start hourly pay at the appointment time though. Since I sat 14 hours at the plant I get paid hourly for the next 10. I will also get the $20 flat rate for the first 2 hours unloading.

This place is 100% customer unload so I just watch a little tv in the truck.

As far as average load unload times it depends on the plant. Lots of the dedicated is drop and hook on 1 end. Most are under 2 hours.
