Armed escort in the passenger seat

Working at Matlack, we would spot MT tankers at power sub stations that had been struck by lightening. The Transformer Oil [non PCB] is expensive and the power companies have process units that restore the dielectric properties. they pump the transformer out into the tanks, fix the unit and process the oil back into the transformer.

I was sent w/ a trainee bobtail to the Nuke plant in Salem, NJ [actually Hancocks Bridge but Salem is the larger spec on the map] to get a spotted tank.

It was outside the perimeter fence BUT inorder to check in we had to enter the security entrance to the plant. took us around two hours just to get permission to take the tank home...in the meantime the two of us are sitting there watching all the people come and go thru all the metal dectors and radiation decetectors.

It is time I will never get back!

 

LOL the oil they use (non pcb) is mineral oil. I believe Baby oil is made from the same stuff

 

I was a Fleet Sailor. We outdrink SEAL's.

 

No one here is naming where we were or what we hauled for the most part. Generically describing a situation is surely not a security risk. Those of us that haul this type of freight generally have DoD or DOE clearances. Which means our backgrounds have been checked and we have not been deemed as a security risk. This is one reason you will not normally hear any of these guys or gals hauling this stuff ratchet jawing on the cb! We take what we haul seriously and do our best to protect our freight from any potential terrorist plots.

 

A question.

What idiot would use a rifle to watch a driver in a truck? Wouldn't that situation just scream for a pistol, instead? Some training that guard had, methinks.

 

thats pretty funny

 

When I drove Feeder truck for Wells Fargo,we made pick ups at the Federal Reserve Bank ,talk about security !
