    SLAY used to be in St Louis. Don't know if they are still there or not. Chemical Leaman had a terminal in St Louis. Don't know if Quality Carriers kept it when they took over Leaman. You probably have a better shot at food grade in Mo. than chemicals.

    Schneider does give you extra gaskets and fittings. I still don't like having a tank wash lose them and then not want to correct their carelesness.

    I'm sitting in Keasbey today doing a 34 hour reset along with another driver out of the Gary OC. We each started Tuesday morning and were totally out of our 70 hour clock by Monday morning. I won't complaign after reading a couple other posts where multiple 34 hour resets were done in a week for lack of work.

    Just about any spare parts for the bulk trailers are available to drivers, they just have to search them out.

    The old terminal was in St Louis, south of downtown off I 55 near the river. Near 3rd st, I think. Its been a long time.

    Tardis, how often have you had to wear the full rubber suit in the last few weeks since you startred with SNI?

    Any other tankers please chime in on how often you have to wear the rubber suit.

    I only ever wore the rubber suit when I was loading or unloading acid. We used the other suit for anything else requiring a placcard when we had to handle the product. If it was customer load or unload we waited in the drivers room or the cab of the truck
