    Never say never as far as not changing trucks. On 3 occasions when my Prostar left me on the side of the road they solved the problem by having a wrecker tow me another tractor to finish the load. Nothing like swapping your crap out on the shoulder.

    Originally I thought I would stop driving but r+l called and gave me a job and then old dominion finally called back and wants to interview over 6 months since I put in both of these apps.

    I did P&D for R&L for 3.5 years, it's a good company. I sometimes wish I never left.

    Well hell of a morning got to plant cool got inside then it’s no turn around this load is suppose to go through the employee entrance so here I was stuck trying to turn around in this plant took 1hr 10 mins but finally got out with only a few scratches. And the unloaded said he never had this come on a tractor trailer normally totes or the occasional bobtail tanker. I’ve never seen a bobtail chemical tanker.

    I got through the inspection here in Plaquemine in record time (under 30 min). Get down here to the rack and am told I might not get loaded today due to them having “issues”. Might be a hotel and some layover pay in my future since they don’t load on the weekends.

    Got a 2 week vacation starting Wednesday next week. This might be my last load before that.
