    Thanks. I have been there before but only to recover excess empty tanks. I didn't want to park and get kicked out in the middle of the night.

    There’s a map with highlighted spots on the night drop box that shows where they prefer to have the loaded tanks dropped. It’s near the entry door facing your truck as you come down their driveway. Once you’re down in there where the van docks are, you can keep going around the curve and drop your tank along the side if there isn’t room up front. You will see where they unload them on the left after you make the curve past the docks. I wouldn’t sleep in that area, because they have a yard driver who shuttles them around with a day cab at night.

    If you are going to Lakewood you can park on the side street overnight, they will come and wake you up in the morning when they are ready for you to unload. Unloading is done from the street You just pull up to the curb and they connect the hoses there. It's easier to get your heavy and light scale tickets at one of the CAT scales in fort Pierce. There are other cat scales closer but they are pain to get to once you're in Miami

    Plant City is a 24/7 drop and hook. Loaded tanks are up front right by security. Paperwork goes in a box next to the tanker bays. Empties are on the back side of the plant.

    Can’t really complain so far, averaging 3k miles a week so far. Miles are there if willing to run.

    Last time I had that load it was repowered by a team. Didn't help that I didn't get out of Dexter until 7 hrs after appointment time.

    I’ve been averaging 3,000 miles per week, too.

    March = 13,307 paid miles
    February = 10,546 paid miles
    January = 12,552 paid miles

    Total = 36,405 paid miles
    Those numbers came from adding the empty and loaded miles in the lower column of 12 different paystubs this year.

    36,405 divided by 12 = 3,033

    I didn’t receive a check on January 2nd, because I was off for the holidays. I didn’t receive one today, because I was off work the entire last week of March as well. That’s the reason for the number 12 even though there have been 14 pay periods so far.
