The misadventures of a rookie tanker yanker

Picked up in Mapleton Illinois Sunday night. Dropped my tank at Charleston WV and grabbed a loaded one headed to Springfield MO. Delivered that earlier and ran down to Memphis. Load out at 0400 headed to Cleveland in the morning.

Karns City will have me next. Probably going to head towards the house out of there.

 

The 0400 load got cancelled so I won't load out until 1400 tomorrow. I'll grab a hotel for the night and take the 200 for today. Since I'll deliver Monday, I'll go ahead and run a load back home after this. Got to celebrate our anniversary, do some range time, and put up Christmas lights. You know, hubby and dad things.

 

Not always. We drop at Grace a lot here in Memphis and some Quala washes here and there. For Kosher washes, we use an external wash outside of Wilmington. If our terminals that have a tank wash can wash it, that is where we go.

 

Loading in Brownsville at 1400 and running up to NJ for a noon delivery on Monday. There's some layover built into that. An easy weekend drive ahead followed by a load headed back to the house.

Stay safe, y'all.

 

We all got to suffer the the NE from time to time.

I'm only getting 23,000 pounds so I'll be flying up the hills. More slosh, so more cautious on turns.

 

Offloaded and then tank washed to Pedricktown NJ. I load at Eastman Chem near Baltimore tomorrow. A quick run down to McDonough GA for a Thursday delvery and then tank wash to Wilmington. Looking forward to a little home time.

 

Having coffee and watching a little morning news at the Morrow terminal. I deliver at 1100 and then run home empty. It's been a productive 19 days.

With Christmas closing in, and my kids about to go on break, I am considering doing dedicated work the rest of the year as needed. Maybe a short system run of about 8 days, but that will be about it. Got to have that work life balance.
