    Best of luck. If the rumor mill is correct, we get our biggest pay raise this October, so a good time to get on board. Let me know if you need any info. If you need my cell, just shoot me a message.

    Heading out on the Waverly NY run. I will be trying to get back ahead of the hurricane. As long as the roads are clear, that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Expecting to get back on Wednesday and be home that evening.

    Off to load acid in Aurora.

    While nearing Aurora I received call to come back. Dispatch decided to move the load to next week so I can be home with the family. They know my situation and didn't want to risk me getting stuck up there.

    My wife is a director of nursing at a nursing home and has to be with the residents during the storm. With 3 kids 15 and under still in the house, they'd be alone if I didn't make it back.

    That was kinda cool of them. I came back and did some preloading. Tomorrow I do an out and back to Greensboro and get home late afternoon.

    Stay safe out there Y'all

    You stay safe as well. I wasn't home for Hurricane Harvey and I couldn't get back for 2 weeks. Hope all ends well.

    Be careful. I'm following Florence closely and hope I won't be anywhere close to it.

    I'm safe at home with the kids. My wife is at her work and will take care of her elderly residents until the storm is over.

    We're well stocked up and on high ground in Fayetteville.

    Just curious if you could clear up a Superior Carrier policy feed or me.

    What is your policy with catch buckets for fittings and drip pans for hose and pump connections.

    They are to be provided by the customer and are to be used.

    When I get back to work I'll dig up the actual policy and page number in our handbook.

    I’ve been with superior for 15 yrs,and they have never allowed us to carry drip buckets of any kind. It is the customers responsibility to provide buckets. Always keep extra gaskets with you for 3 and 2 inch hoses

    Why no drip buckets?
