The misadventures of a rookie tanker yanker

Loaded in hot as hell Arkansas. Taking my 10 here and will deliver tomorrow. No way I could make a truck stop tonight anyway. Will be in Pasadena, TX tomorrow. It as I call it, the Taj Mahal.

 

It worked out . Got the 5 hour delay, 250 empty, and loading, plus I'm onto delivery in the morning.

Tomorrow has already changed. Pasadena doesn't have a load for me on Saturday so they're tank washing me to Lake Charles. I'll run out of Sulfur again.

Starting to contemplate a go home date. Was going to stay out 3 weeks or so to make up for taking so much time off in July, but now, maybe just 2 and a half weeks out.

 

Had to take a 10 at 244 out from Lake Charles. I'll get there and be shut down by 1100. Personal conveyance will be used to bobtail over to the yard where IllI take a 10. I load tonight in Westlake again, and run that up to Mapleton Illinois for delivery Tuesday afternoon.

At that point I'll be low on the 70 and not gaining much. Wouldn't be surprised if Markham had me do a rest and then do a Raeford run over the weekend. I might even suggest that. I could get a lunch with the family down in Raeford. That's always nice and helps break up a long system run.

 

Loading in a few hours. The plan is to run to the Memphis terminal over night. I'll take a 10 there and figure out where to get this load steamed in St Louis. Don't believe the Memphis tank wash will be open Sunday, so St Louis is where I need to go.

If you know where I get this steamed, shoot me a message with the address.

 

Mapleton is far enough north for either. Memphis had a plenty of drivers when I left earlier, so maybe Camp Markham needs a resident.

My 70 is getting low and I'm not picking up great hours. Not sure what they'll do with me. Figure it's a short run or reset me.

Decided to be back on the 29th, so they have options to use me.
