Tuesday 7/17 morning delivered the load we brought back from Wilmington and delivered in Doraville. Took the empty back to the terminal and grabbed a clean tank and ran it up to Winder. Picked up a clean from the tank wash in Winder and took it back to the terminal. Grabbed another clean and ran to the rail yard in Atlanta and got it loaded for a local driver to deliver on Wednesday. Doesn't this sound like and exciting day?! Spent the night in Morrow in the company hotel.
Wednesday 7/18 left out and picked up a load in Riceboro GA for a Thursday delivery in Herndon VA. Made it to Wilson NC for the night.
Thursday 7/19 left out of NC and got to delivery point around 12:00 noon in Herndon VA. Washington DC traffic SUCKS by the way. It is like Atlanta traffic on steroids. Got unloaded around 1:30pm and was routed to Keasbey NJ to drop the dirty tank. I thought DC was bad. New Jersey bites big time. The roads up there are confusing as heck. I was so glad to get out of that state.
After we dropped the dirty tank at Keasbey we had a pre-plan to pick up a clean tank on Friday a.m. in Pedricktown NJ (new terminal there by the way) and run across the bridge to Pennsylvania to pick up a load going to Gabriel Louisiana. Stay tuned for this one....
Friday 7/20 left hotel in Bordentown NJ and ran about an hour down to our new (relocated) terminal in Pedricktown and grabbed the assigned clean tank. Ran across the Commodore Bridge into PA and got to the shipper. The guy loading tanks looks his paperwork and notices we are suppose to have a rear unloading tank but we pulled in with a center unload. He says the place in Gabriel will not take center unloads. We call the terminal to find out what happened. Due to a "computer glitch" we were assigned the wrong tank. So...one of the head guys at the place makes some calls and sees if he can help us out trying to find a place to send us with a load. He does and we appreciated it but unfortunately it did not get us out of the North as the trainer and I were hoping. Nope, instead we got re-routed to to Markham Illinois for a...Monday 1:30 am delivery.
We were late getting loaded due to the wrong tank fiasco so we finally got rolling towards Illinois. Made it to Richfield Ohio and camped out there for the night.
Saturday 7/21 rolled out of Ohio at 8am and made it to Markham Illinois at 2pm. Dropped the loaded trailer at the yard and ran across the freeway and grabbed a room at the company hotel. I am not getting a warm fuzzy from this area. Will probably stay cooped up in the hotel room for the next 34 hours. Not sure where we will go after delivery Monday. We will have a fresh set of hours then so may stay out next week too.
Stay tuned....

Are we having fun yet?! Back down in the south and loving it. Taking a load out of Lake Charles Louisiana to North Carolina for a Saturday delivery. Fingers crossed I should be off my trainers truck after this load. He plans on cutting me loose once we get back home. Looking forward to that. This has been one of those weeks I wish I was getting mileage pay. I would have had a nice little check!
Should be home home Sunday eve and off for a couple of days. I need it
