Where's u tankers loading at this morning

Unloaded in Kansas, Il this morning. I think both my external and internal valve are leaking. I am so sick of jackwagon drivers not taking care of their equipment. I have 2 tires to fix on this one, plus 2 brake lines to reroute so they don't rub and the hoses were dirty when I picked it up. Someone down the line had put pad locks on all the hose tubes and the washers didn't know where the key was.
Picking up Monday in Osceola, AR, going to Hillsboro, tx, then back to snot.

Was soooooo tempted to not come back. This is a sinking ship filled with people who have zero clue.

 

Who you work for? Terminal?

 

Wasn't it great to get away from the dreaded S N O T for a bit, man, though?!?

 

I work for L.W Miller out of North Salt Lake, Utah.

 

Those runs are an easy $500 round trip. You dont have load, unload anything, and no trailer washout and the receiver is open appointment an open 24/7. The hardest part is getting the trailer clean when you have to pick up a different product.

 

You guys must not have a big trailer pool

 

No we don't. We are a pretty small company, and we've gotten smaller recently, apparently. I don't think we even havr 40 trucks total anymore and that's combining all of our tank side, fuel, pneumatic, and our mine trucks.
We several guys scattered all over the south in Texas and such and I think we have 2 extra trailers down here, 1 at the Hutchins qualawash and one at the clean blast facility in Kilgore. When I have a trailer, I usually keep it for a couple months. It's seems like when I finally get everything working perfect on it, I get a different one lol

This one thing that is scaring alot of the older drivers that have been here along time. We haven grown at all. Plus the owner is retiring this year and his Son is taking his position and he isn't a driver friendly person. We're all idiots and a dime a dozen.

 

@scythe08 if I had a dollar for every story I heard of a kid taking over for his father and not appreciating the ones that actually are the reason they make money, I'd be a rich man. Maybe 1 in 10 actually have driven before they took over three business.

 

They scheduled a loading appointment before the lab approved the batch? *facepalm*

 

Stuck in Chicago?
