That tank wash in Geismer must be the one at the old Chemical Leaman terminal. Been a few years for me. Ditto what TomofTx said on the route. Is...
Until our Uncle Sugar went and got all anal about using electronics for log enforcement this wouldn't even be an issue.
Another thing that will add to unloading times is how far do you have to blow the product. I've unloaded plastic pellets right next to a short...
