    Very good guesses.

    Turned out it to be 8 vats of soap fragrance.

    Pete, you should start driving tanker. It will definitely make you feel like you are back at sea. I can't believe how much the truck was swaying and surging with the sloshing of the vats.

    Now parked at the receiver in a not very nice part of town in Alliance, OH. If you don't hear from me again it's been nice knowing you. :biggrin_2556:

    I get plenty of liquid hazmat loads... ethane something or other in 300-gallon totes sloshes real good. Refrigerant in various sized tanks does a pretty good job of it too.

    No more excitement tonight... just the usual. Last night's frivolity looks like it will be marked down as a non-preventable. Darn good thing too!!

    Back in Louisville KY. Heading to the west side of Kentucky for dead critters tomorrow that are desiring a ride going to ol' Virginnity.

    Well, I moved 1130 miles to go from her couch to my couch (in 20 hours) and bring teenager back to South Dakota for a few days. 67 mph moving average on US & state highways ain't too shabby.

    So hanging in the vast metropolis of rural Union County for a few days. :cool:
     
    Zen Trucker Thanks this.

    I checked their menu online and as I thought, a lot of burgers, fried stuff, practically all of their dishes has some kind of meat... If I were to ask for a "customized" dish, I bet would pay much more than regular price... and not exactly what I would like. Besides, their tomato sauce is not homemade, it is industrialized and it contains sugar for sure... All their soup dishes are not homemade either and must have sugar and other chemicals that I rather avoid... Today I had my lunch in the truck... cooked brown rice, cooked chayote squash, potato, mixed beans, cabbage, tomato, seasoned with spices, fresh garlic... It was pretty tasty, much healthier and cheaper than anything else at Denny's. :yes2557: Ah, and for those who are not familiar with chayote squash, that's how it looks...
