New Tanker Yanker Here

And if you have to stay there for awhile , you can just bobtail down 332 it ends at the beach. Its pretty nice down there.
Spent the day at the beach with my wife about a week ago.

 

How goes it Mr. Thull ?? My company was running me ragged and the wife reminded me of the 80/7 etc etc etc even tho i'm not OTR i still have to follow HOS! I had to call safety and remind them when I was legal to work. Tanking is CRAZY now, esp. asphalt. People trying to do recon repairing roads, due to the wet spring.... Did you see this?? I normally haul the 6122 [ cold ] but do the 3257 [hot] on occasion. Just WOW.

Be glad you are on e-logs; i'm not. I've been doing this so long, I forget. In 2004 when I got legal because I had to, it was SO different. Glad she keeps up with the laws for me!!!
ps: what are you doing / hauling now?
pss: did you see my thread about 'what would you do' with the RV backed into 2 spots?
so much to say, so little time. Just be safe, man. Cool about Charlie's luck, huh? I can't sign on there..but I keep up with y'all!!!!!
God Bless, ttys.

 

Arkansas has lots of narrow roads. Lots of low weight limit bridges where the sign is posted at the entrance to the bridge, then no where to pull over or turn around. Then you realize you just saw a dozen trucks going the other direction that crossed that same bridge. Then you just cross and keep trucking. When you arrive at the chemical plant you ask about this and they say, "That's the only way to get here."

 

You did it correctly; ignore the super truckers yelling on the CB radio and keep doing it like you're doing now.

 

On US 67 north our GPS will shunt you off on minuscule roads because it thinks there is a restricted bridge going north. I'll let my trainees blindly follow the go's there if I have time. It's amazing how their.mirror checks and lane control improves when there is no room for error.

 

^^^^ Thull, etc. . . i grew into the tanker life. Those mistakes were unwarranted, by the driver AND the off-loader guy. I do this daily, and it should NOT have been an issue. I feel bad for those who were injured and unfamiliar. Wishing you fast and blessed healing, driver. Re: the 2 lanes, I take them more often than not.....I know my way around the Shelly Co. yards, which is a huge bennie. When I pump on AND off, I'm in charge of how it goes. Yeah, they load me, under my watch...my check...triple check. The catwalk over the port, I spend most of my time up there, making sure all goes as planned. The water in the hoses, no excuse. Then again, I pull the same 2 or 3 trailers and specd' for hot or cool... JUST KEEP YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN.... don't worry about the surge, bradda.
