    Chasser, the only thing I found was under Outage. Never load a cargo tank totally full. Liquids expand as they warm and you must leave room for the expanding liquid. This is called "outage." Since different liquids expand by different amounts, they require different amounts of outage. You must know the outage requirements when hauling liquids in bulk.

    I have never been to a chemical company that will load a tank all the way to the top just for that reason. I don't think they know exactly how much it will expand, but they leave enough room just in case. Also, the liquids that I have loaded weigh enough so that you can't fill it to the top anyway.

    Chasser, How do you like Service Transport? I have been with Tidewater Transit going on a year now. I like it, but I am always looking for greener pastures.

    Later,

    They spoil thier drivers. We have all the loads we can handle. You pick the haul for the next day, be it local, regional or long haul. Off time is as you need / want it. Service on the tractors and trailers is darn near instantaneous. I put in for a new fan belt one night, the next day.... replaced when I did my pre-trip, no questions asked. Safety is stressed above all else. Admin has an open door policy. I'm still in training and about to be released. So far I haven't found anything not to like about them. I ask everyone I meet how they like the company. No one, not one person, has said anything bad about them. If you apply my friend, please use my name. As you know I'll make extra money that way. :) Thanks..................................Charles Hinton
