A&R Logistics - home weekends and can take truck home.
-
Yea, I know that they have a spot in Jackson, but that is quite a commute for me.

Jackson & Decatur, AL
They have a loading facility at the rail yard in Nashville. My former neighbor worked out of there and would leave the trailer there and bobtail home. I lived in Roberrtson County at the time.
Bulkmatic has a facility at the Nashville rail yard also.
Schwerman has a terminal on Centennial Blvd not far from the Pilot truck stop. Make good money there if you can deal with the crappy union. -
I have heard good things about them, just never ran the pneumatic tanks, only smooth bore chemical tanks
-
Pneumatic is easy, just monitor the air pressure so it doesn't get too high, otherwise you get dust in the air and the customer gripes about it.
A&R hauls plastic pellets, so I doubt if there's dust involved. I don't know, never hauled that. -
One time I dusted the inside of a plant while unloading flour. I saw the pressure had creeped up while I was tinkering with it to make it unload quicker. The plant manager came running out, but I had the pressure back down by then. I played stupid, so he said he guessed his filter needs cleaning because my pressure was ok.
-
Ha, yea, used to try to pull stunts like that with those polyurethane loads. The beauty it seems with dry bulk is no worries about cross contamination with chemicals
-
Highly unlikely for cross contamination.

Well I put in an application for them and trimac since they have trucks in the Nashville area, hopefully it pans out, thanks for the infoChinatown Thanks this.
