From School to Superior Carriers

They pull some of our dedicated loads occasionally when we can't cover all of them. Other than that I don't know much about them. Never been there. Not sure what the major accounts are down there.

 

Well good luck to you. I feel fortunate to have started there. I am not sure if they still take extended training students. The call to the terminal manager is the main thing. They control the hiring process based on individual terminal needs.

 

Glad to hear you got a job pulling tanks. I am heading out in about an hour pulling an empty from High Point to Iowa City Iowa. Drop and hook a loaded one then back to High Point. Load probably delivers Thursday early morning.

I got lazy and decided to run this load with 3 breaks. It would have been real tight anyway with all the 55 mph speed limits in Illinois. I also opted to stay at Loves truck stops for the free showers and soda. They are spaced about 600 miles apart including the turn in Iowa City. Total run is around 1920 so that leaves me 120 miles short with an 8:00 AM delivery.

Thursday they had me drop my Scope load at P&G then bobtail to a tank wash to grab an empty. I had a load appointment at 10:00 AM 1/5 mile from the tankwash. This is a place I had never been to before. There was a nasty blindside around a building to get to the loading racks. It was also a real dirty place. Fortunately they did all the loading so I got to stay in the truck. It was so nasty in that plant that the guys boots left globs of grease on the steps of the ladder to the top of the tank. Got that crap on my pants climbing up to check the dome. It also took them 3.75 hours to load me.

That sucked because the load was only going 200 miles down the road to Cognis in Mauldin SC. It also cost me a load today since I couldn't get back in time to load this morning. I dropped my empty on the yard this morning and ran about 4 hours of local work. Got off at noon Friday. This will end up being a good week that could have been great with the load I lost today plus holiday pay for Monday.

Panther game Sunday!

 

I don't know man. Your O line is pretty banged up. Fortunately for you the D line is a weakness for the Panthers. A lot depends on how your defense plays the run. I will be there yelling my fool head off. The cooler is already packed for the tailgate.

Go Panthers!!!
