    Doing the Run up to Grand Rapids. I load and roll Monday. Considering starting a new thread. The training and rookie year are well documented. Any ideas for a tanker talk thread, or do we have one already? Maybe it's time for me to join back in with, where you tankers loading.

    I appreciate reading about the Superior side of things since most everyone has gone.

    Delivered in Grand Rapids. Before I even got there I had a tank wash to Markham and a pick up in Kankakee. That's the fastest I've ever gotten out of Markham.

    Taking this preload to NY, then to Springfield to tank wash and load out to Pasadena TX. A good run between now and noon on Monday.

    From Pasadena, I head back to NC. Haven't been assigned a load back towards the barn yet, but I'm happy with them keeping me rolling.

    I should be rolling through Pasadena on Sunday. Too bad you're not going to be around. We could snag some oysters at Tookie's Seafood in Seabrook. Dang there food is good.

    Hope we get a chance to do that sometime. Getting my engine brakes worked on in the morning and then heading out.

    Broke the 1800 mark last week. Grossed 1935. Guess I'm learning to run the system and manage my time better.

    Sitting in Pasadena waiting on a load out tomorrow. Got the engine brake fixed and spent the night in the company hotel. Life is good.
