Foam loads for flatbeders

I delivered to a Dow plant once, some pipe or something. They woke me up at 6am, after getting there after midnight, to come watch some stupid video reminding me to make sure the doors on my trailer were closed properly and some other stuff I payed no attention too.

 

I pulled a tanker and I am very familiar with Dow and their safety practices, like wearing the hard hat and safety glasses in your truck while driving inside the plant. Pulling into the plants most had an inspection bay, similar to California scales. The one in Midland Mich was the worst.

 

Which foam plant south of Cincinatti?

 

I don't wear a hardhat inside my truck. I also don't watch saftey videos. If they don't like that, they can find another truck to put it on.

If I'm loaded and the reciever is a pain, they are given a choice- unload the truck NOW, or I take the load home.

It's wonderful not working for a big company that can push you around

 

I hear you man. But Dow would have turned you away and not even let you inside the plant if you didn't play their game. They are anal about their plant safety rules. At the Freeport Tx plant they actually went down inside the tank with white gloves.

 

sometimes you just got to deal with it, their property, their rules.......

 

Dow needs to take lessons from Firestone.

 

I loaded foam board around here once at a distributor and I had to tarp the crap, well im 260lbs and when i got up ontop of it it was moving around as i rolled my tarps out...pain in the butt...
