    Today I dropped a loaded trailer in St. Louis and tomorrow I'm going to get loaded in Cadet MO.
    Easy drop n hook, just dropped in front of the gate and the yard operator came out with the empty dirty trailer. Took that over to the East St Louis tank wash and didn't even have to wait for a bay, they had one ready and waiting for me! That is one of the nicer tank washes I've been to. Tomorrow I'm going to go out, load, and come right back up here to StL and relax for the day and leave Saturday. Sometimes its nice having the extra time on loads to enjoy life a bit on the road and not having to run 600+ miles every day.

    Well, looks like I'm going to be late with my delivery tomorrow. Ran a load from st Louis to Chicago and I've been sitting at customer (in Chicago) going on 3.5 hours. I don't think I'm going to make 326 miles in 3 hour I'll have left. That's assuming I'm out of here in the next hour to hour & half.

    You would think in this day and age of security, blabbing about where tankers load is a bit much for me.

    Im sorry I have to bark about this.... I know #### well where some tankers load at but you wont catch me talking about that publicly...

    There is two facilities in LR/NLR (Little Rock, N. Little Rock) mostly US70 and a touch of I 40. One handles all 5 source pipelines from Texas and Louisiana and transfers POL (Petroluem, Oil and Lubricants of all kinds up to and including all grades of fuel ranging from bunker C for locomotives and ships all the way up to airplane and jetfuel.

    This one feeds several airports and then some. It also sustains everyone in the United States east of the Ozarks all the way to Maine south to roughly Charleston. Very strategic. Katrina knocked out 4 of the 5. Otherwise we would not have gasoline a while.
