We were diverted to the Savannah terminal this morning to get a skully ball installed on our trailer. Colonial wouldn't let us pick up without it mounted. Taking it to a plywood mill south of Birmingham. Didn't look to be much going on at the terminal except a couple CT guys.

Good luck! I've got about 10 days left, got to run to Mobile, south Louisiana, then up to Minnesota, back to ATL, then I should 'graduate' and get to do a week of local driving to get used to PPE (which we apparently almost never use OTR, other than hard hat/boots/gloves. They tell me my training has been 'back-asswords' from the normal. I'll see you out there.

I felt a bit jaded for doing 3 weeks of local/regional runs. Though its good to know I've seen and done the worst that this job has to over. Drink plenty of water before and after being in that PPE!White_Knuckle_Newbie Thanks this. -

Good luck Robot. Something happened to me today, If you stop at a truck stop, make sure to walk around your trailer before you leave. Had some ####### unscrew the external valve knob off of my rear unloader all the way today. It was sitting on the DOT bumper. It was tight as can be during pre-trip so I know they did it while I ran in the Loves. Thank god they weren't stupid enough to screw with the internal valve. Could've been a freakin mess. Be safe and have fun out there.

Woah I've been ran like a dog this week. Blew through my 70 hours (from Monday to today). We started in Savannah and took a load of caustic to Gainesville GA. We then went south, through Atlanta, to Macon GA to load turpentine. The Macon place (Graphics) took us 3 hours as they used a piston powered blower to pump product in our tank, and my trainer used the wrong straping chart for our tank. They over filled us my account 1000 pounds and had to spend time dumping the overfill in the waste pond right next to us. Once that was over, we headed on down to Lake City FL to spend the night. We were suppose to have made it to Jacksonville by then.
To be continuedGoldenLad Thanks this.
