    Air off. This is why I don't stand at the back the whole time. I'm always right close by, but I don't stand right there at the back, because I really don't care to take a bath in whatever it is I'm unloading. That hazmat suit will only do so much. I've told people before, there is a reason why they put the emergency shut off at the front of the trailer.

    A few years ago we had a guy chopered to the hospital when the clamp to the external valve failed and he took a shot of caustic to the chest wearing only safety glasses. Wear PPE and don’t get complacent.

    How’s everyone? I been running the lockhaven dedicated route a lot lately. They getting 2 tanks a week and starting a new machine soon so it’s gonna be double the amount needed. I’m gonna try just keep doing this run. It’s not the big money but it’s easy peazy

    Who u working for? You just do a lot drop offs or pickups? I bet you are liking that only 70 miles. And go home everyday right. That’s good stuff bud. I been working or at home, I been getting a lot home time and I don’t complain. I told work that if there is a driver need a load to give to him or her before me. I don’t mind being off at all

    About 8-12 deliveries and maybe 2-5 pickups and take it back to the terminal some days we have extra trailer swaps that need to be done but haven’t worked over 52 hrs here yet so I’m happy and that 52 includes the time I hit the yard until I go home. I work about half of what I actually did at Superior and making around the same my average Check is right 1220 so far. But I’m still thinking about linehaul those guys have it made. I said the same thing at Superior and all that did was get me to take the loads inbound to markham that nobody else wanted

    I heard we had a new dedicated out and back load up near Pittsburgh. I haven't done it yet.

    After a couple of weeks of 1 load and a 3-4 day weekend they have me busy again. Ran 2 N Chicago loads Sunday to Friday last week and heading out in the morning with a Plaquemine.
