    Hi Bob,

    yeah, I accepted a job to pull bulk tank here in upstate NY they run a lot south which is exactly what I was looking for just waiting for the drug test to come back now...Plastic pellets is what goes south the most or so I'm told they also do frac sand, cement, and fly ash..

    Hey Mike, if you're running south I think you'll enjoy that job quite a bit, I think it's the norm up this way though when the weather sets in the cement, ash, and what not slows way down, if not stops. Frac sand on the other hand won't stop, they'll push, pull, or drag your ### to that pad to frack the well, kind of why I'm not interested in it at all. Just a question, I recall you looking at the option to move to Florida back when IRT was an option for you, although IRT didn't work out why didn't you make good on that move? There's quite a few companies down south, not just Florida per say that operate pneumatics and run kind of an extended southeast with pretty good hometime.

    I personally don't know how you guys do it up here, I've only been here 2 months and absolutely hate it with a passion, I wish there was some option for me to go "home"(Florida) right now but that's just not my reality for the next 10 months. Whatever it is you do I hope it works out, I might not know you but I feel like I'm in the same boat as you, a few crappy decissions this year have turned things upside down for the wife and I, here's hoping we make it back to the light...........The Florida sunshine:biggrin_25514:

    I wasn't finding much that really interested me to be honest, that and the pay scale down there seemed kinda low...After my IRT experience I kinda stopped looking around have not looked into anything down there since..

    Well made it thru orientstion. Ran a short load over to Wayland Mi then bounced back to Caledonia swapped tanks. Then loaded a Shippensburg and getting empty now. Then head for S Charleston WV to load for Cheyenne WY. So far Im pretty happy with the choice to move over here.

    Most likely you won't sit I was always pre planned the day before I got empty and they think nothing of bouncing a truck all the way back to MN if there are no loads where you delivered..

    You drove 330. Did the a/c on the back wall of the sleeper work when you drove it? Cant figure out if its not working or if Im doing something wrong.
