    I wonder what happened. My customer in Midland claims that someone brought them a bad load of product and it shut a rig down, and that's major money. So they're pretty anal now. I honestly believe their operators crossdroppped product. We used to unload both products in the same area. After the 'incident they separated the tank farm.

    Picking up snot again, but am heading to Williston with it. Another sit for 24 hours then load vampire. Delivers on Saturday with no tank wash in sight, so I'll sit somewhere until monday when I can washout. But that means I'll only have a single 1000 mile run on this payroll. They will not come out on the stone age and do transflo.

    How's that feeling for ya, man? LoL. What's the surge like with the caustic? I'm not familiar with the viscosity of your product.

    The stuff I'm hauling has got sulfuric and its heavy and surgey. Every stoplight is a real treat, but luckily its mostly highway miles.

    On a side note I'll probably stick around cincy doing this run through July even though the hours suck the money is good enough-and consistent.

    I used to run dedicated out of a Valspar plant. Same thing with the hoses and fittings. Also had 10-15 gals of clean water in the trailer. They would drain some in a jar, hold it up and if there was any tiny particles in it the trailer was refused. Product was a lining that was sprayed into the inside of beverage cans. dedicated trailers.

    I used to deliver there once a week,
    Made the mistake of coming in off of I76 once
    I think the exit was rte 68? Cant remember but it was snowing and dark very early one morning, the hills with the tight turns at the bottom were a joy.
    After that I'd go I376 to rte 18 iirc much better way in.

    Antifreeze is the worst for me usually load 5400 gal in a 8000 gal tank thats about 51000 lbs and that will grab your attention real quick. Took a load of that earlier this week to toyota in princeton in.

    I always feel real slow and lazy the first few days after more than two days off. You have to stay out for a while before the psychosis kicks in again.
