10/10-10/15
Had an easy week. Dedicated out and back load to Houston. Left Monday around 6 AM got home Friday around 3 PM. Off until Monday.
They have me on a paint load to Holland Mi delivering early Wed morning to start next week. -
Hey Rob,
I'm on a layover out in California where I'm delivering Monday to Teknor Apex in the City of Industry. Then I get the tank cleaned at the LA TW and drop it at Ashland/LA, wait a day, pick it up and take it to their Jacksonville, AR facility.
I believe you've done this run before; any tips? Like, is the Ontario TA the closest place to overnight waiting for them to load?
I use Streets & Trips and believe it's given me reasonable routes to these places, but if there's anything special about getting into these plants please share.
Hope you're having a great weekend.

The LA tank wash is a small one in a not so great part of town. They have always taken 3-4 hours to wash me out but I have always had snot on. Its only a few miles from the Ashland plant where you will drop your trailer. You can park at la tankwash overnight. Its open 24 hours. I have done that before, just make sure you have plenty of food.
I have also gotten a hotel room at the Ramada Inn on E Slauson Ave and Gage Ave right at I-5. They have truck parking around back, a Dennys in the parking lot and its 5 minutes from Ashland. They do not have an account set up with Superior Carriers so you would need to pay for it and be reimbursed so run that by your TM.
You will probably pull resin out of Ashland so make sure your pump is clean and that you have enough hoses or can drop the trailer and get it done with a standard set.
Hope this helps -
I'll have to check out my loaner truck's pump when I'm at the TW. I'm pulling a load of Aropol out of Ashland, which google confirms is a resin.
My Prostar, with only 100K on it, broke a rocker arm stud which the oil pump proceeded to chew up and distribute throughout the engine. So she's at the Houston International dealer waiting on a new engine. -

If anyone ever has to load in Kenedy
Must be talking about Ashland........good lil run.... -
It's still under warranty thankfully, but they do take their time at those International repair shops.
