    Almost 16 hours.
    They finally called at 3:20 am this morning. I got there at 3:45 and I was loaded and out of there at 6:00. My company will pay me demurrage, but Im not sure how they will do it, since I had to leave the plant and come back. And I was able to get a 10 hoir break in.
    There were 2 guys working.......2 to run that entire plant at night and my guy was a temp who had been there 5 months. They dont have the capacity to start more than one batch at a time. They can have 2 batches running, but the first one has to be so far along the process before it frees up equipment to get the second running.

    No way I am buying any fittings unless I am an O/O. Tell your TM to have one for you the next time you roll through the yard. Its actually good to have 2. Lets you use 2 inch hoses to your pump in a pinch. I asked and got issued a second one during a 3" hose shortage a while back.

    I think bleach can't be used with aluminum, turns it black or something.
