Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Labor day is a big day in the pop industry for sure.

 

Hazmat experts, tell me how you would placard a trailer with the following bills on it:

- 1 Ctn UN3109, Organic Peroxide Type F, Liquid, 5.2 (8), (Cumyl Hydroperoxide), RQ. 21lbs

- 70 Pkg UN2794, Batteries, Wet, Filled with acid, 8. 3020lbs

The paperwork suggested one way, I thought it was a different way, and the dock supervisor thought it was yet another way. In retrospect, I think the paperwork was actually right, but I still want to see what other people think it should be.

 

I don't have time for patience

 

510 cases today, but over 100 miles, which was good I need to rest up for tomorrow.

 

As most of society these days. Good luck whichever course you choose.

 

My guess would be Corrosive 8 and Dangerous, because the only super-nasty 5.2 is Type B (I knew one was, but had to look it up). Don't you guys have a placarding computer program? Ours is super accurate (as long as everything is entered correctly). Now you've got me tempted to mess with the "Placard Wizard" when I get to work!

What was everybody's opinion? I've got a couple of guys who are hazmat gurus at my barn if I ever doubt the placard wizard who can explain why it makes certain decisions, especially regarding rules around Dangerous placards and other tricky stuff. As always, the main rule is "garbage in, garbage out."

#2 in the pop industry (Pepsi Co.) was already driving pop demand up, they were touting their Orange Crush on the grocery store P.A. system today for back yard memorial day they were scaring everyone to "stock up now!" on cool refreshing Orange Crush.

 

I look like I have a easy night ahead of me for the second night in a row....it's kinda scary.

 

You’re a shuttle driver correct?
Or do you do late night deliveries to large format grocery stores?

 

Congrats to all you FedEx Freight guys you are all #1.
