    Did my first ever loads of bulk this week and now I wonder why in the heck I didn't do this sooner. No blower, no problem! Tall stacks, no problem! Heavy ### truck .... well other than losing a little revenue... no problem!! I never thought I would be able to hook this truck to a trailer and be under 30K lbs but was at 29,500 with about 1/4 tanks :yes2557: Sure don't miss that reefer running at night or the hold ups getting loaded and unloaded, longest wait this week was 30 min waiting for the blower so I could unload at a plant. I sure do like the FAST load times.

    I like bulk myself, I have been doing some dry and liquid bulk the past couple weeks at the company I'm at just loading trailers and relaying them and doing bottom drops (I'm a flatbedder so my truck doesnt have a blower installed) and I love how quikcly im in and out of my stops!

    It's a great industry. I was just with the wrong company and I got a gig hauling gas. Who knows I may be back. Bottom drop loads are the best. No plug ups :)

    I'm currently with Georgia tank lines. It's great so far. Never thought I'd be in the petroleum industry

    Chuck Garrison used to be a terminal mgr in Joliet IL with A&R. I worked with A&R back in 2005 they pulled all of the system owner operators contracts. I worked out of the Atlanta yard. Made good money with them. Yes they only pay 1.30 pm but they have a good fuel surcharge and they pay you to blow off or to vac you load. I was averaging about $1.65 pm loaded and empty back then. You will get the miles. And yes the boys out of Highlands TX go out loaded and back mty. Sometimes they do get a load back if they call a northern terminal. But most of them want to come back quickly for another load out...
