The misadventures of a rookie tanker yanker

Tanks at Kay are full so they can't unload until tomorrow. Dropping this tank at High Point and one of their drivers will finish the trip.

I'm yanking a clean back to Wilmington....and will make my son's award ceremony. I'm down to 435 on my 70, so I gotta put the hammer down.....to 65. LOL

 

Made it home for his award ceremony. Got into an accident along the way. 20 yo female says she was tired after leaving her boyfriend's house but didn't fall asleep. She came across the lane and brushed my driver's side steer tire while overtaking me. I was already driving on the fog line so didn't have much room to get over since she came on so fast.

Lugs got scraped up, but other than that, Big Ugly is fine. Her Toyota, which she had just purchased two days prior, got shredded like the chariot scene in Ben Hur. No injuries and she admitted fault to the local PD when they showed up. She was very apologetic. I don't think she understands how lucky she was at those speeds.

I'm just glad there were no injuries. Still had to do all the reporting and send photos to Logops.

 

In ####eysville MD almost done with my 10. The plant here has truck parking so we can drive here, unload, rest, and then run right back to the barn in Wilmington. It's a good out and back except for DC and Baltimore, but even that area was easy driving this morning.

There are a few wrecks out there now. I'll wait for the traffic to clear up before running home.

 

Thanks. You too.

I had a good trip back to the barn. Home relaxing now. Will be asking for Old Hickory, Pasadena, or Minneapolis this week, but will take what'll get me rolling Tuesday or Wednesday.
