My truck is in the shop, so I won't head out until next week. Today I'm running an ATL terminal truck down there, spending the night in a hotel, then picking up one of our trucks and trailers they have. It's not much, but better than no pay next Friday. -
Doing a Kansas City out and back today. You never know what to expect at these plants. This is a tight blind side under normal conditions. It’s a bit tighter serpentine off the railroad tracks when contractors block it up.
Mortarmaggot and Smut Thank this. -
I'll wait for some more of that experience thing before attempting something like that.
Mortarmaggot Thanks this. -
The hill really threw me off lolMortarmaggot Thanks this. -
While out in the system, dispatch will see your hometime date and know if they need to send you with a load towards home or can use you on what's next going anywhere.cemoore Thanks this. -
Offloading MEK in Old Hickory TN this morning. Headed to Elwood via Memphis before catching a load back toward Carolina.
My son's birthday is Sat and I'm taking him fishing. It's been a while since I've actually run the system. I don't count this 5 day run as running the system. I'll do a two week out after getting some time fishing with my boy.intrepidor Thanks this. -
Been a while. Had 6 days off and am doing a few 2 day out and backs. Unfortunately construction made the last one a 3 day, thanks Atlanta. The current one may turn into a 3 day too, depending on the current offload.
Plan on getting a system run.
On the home front, I took the kids fishing. Miserable fishing at a new location. Think the ponds were fished out. The locals trying said the same. The old man who used to maintain then passed a few years ago and the new folks apparently aren't passionate about it.Prince Henry Stout, PostmanMJC, cemoore and 1 other person Thank this. -
Been out in the system since Sunday. Ran to Old Hickory, and just like clockwork, Memphis sent me to Magnolia AR for a load up to Elwood IL. Currently sitting in Effingham Illinois doing a 34 here. Was going to run to the Petro on 55 near Wilmington, but couldn't get a 34 in if I did that.
Hopefully I'll get a good run out of Markham since I'm showing up with around 65 hours or so. Didn't put in a hometime yet. If they don't send me out to Arizona or some other long run next, I'll put in to be home for the Holiday weekend.Last edited: May 17, 2018

It frustrating. I moved to phoenix(horrible for Tankers) They have a satellite branch in the middle of nowhere, Parker Arizona 160 miles to west and another in Benson AZ, 173 miles away. I'm right in the middle of where I dont want to be lol. Theres alot of milk hauling and fuel down here, but very limited chemicals. They get most of their stuff from out of state or theres a few poopy companies that service the mines. My fault for not thinking things through
Mortarmaggot Thanks this.
