    They are keeping us three new guys in Wilmington on out and back trips for a couple of weeks. That trip yesterday ended up being a decent one. Got paid 452 miles loaded since I ended up hauling the tank back to Wilmington with a full center compartment. I'll deliver it next week with all three compartments full...or someone else will. I also got 2 hours extra on the unloading since they took so long to figure things out. 52 for unloading wasn't bad.

    I'm in Goose Creek, SC, now. MIK is being unloaded while I chill off the ⏰

    Sounds good. I once ran a load of transformer oil up to Maine from High Point. A blizzard shut down the east coast airports but it was clear on I81 on the west side of the mountains. The technicians didn’t show when I delivered it so got to turn around on that one and run loaded back. It happens.
     
    Mortarmaggot Thanks this.

    I made it back 5 minutes ahead of an IC that loves the Goose Creek run and there is another pre loaded run on Monday. Yup, first in gets choice so I took it straight away. Lol A good way to start next week. I'm home for the weekend. I probably should have taken a longer run with more pay, but an easy run is hard to pass up.

    I haven't been there, but I believe one if my Greer Classmates runs over there a lot out of Pasadena TX.
    Best of luck to you. They need drivers, so as long as you aren't a soup sandwich, you should be fine.

    I'm back in Goose Creek, SC and will be back in Wilmington this afternoon. Hope I find a better out and back for tomorrow. This is an easy one to start the week out, but it's a lower pay day.

    Did the High Point run today and am hooked up for another trip to Goose Creek in the morning.

    In about a week I'll be given longer out and backs. After a month, I get released into the system. Dec 1 is a decent time to start making system pay. Lol
     
    Lonesome and scythe08 Thank this.

    Pre loading sulfuric acid tomorrow and some other load nearby. I call it a week and go home for the weekend early.

    In other news, GenX was released from training. He gets a truck Monday and will be hauling then or Tuesday. He is one of the three of us new hires on out and backs.

    In other other news, I almost got a Texas run but the load got canceled. I'll take 1200 mile out and backs anytime. Lol
     
    Smut Thanks this.

    These acid loads...are you the one who does the load and unload process or the customers do that for you?
