    US Express truck broke down and is blocking me in since I woke up. His assistance won't be here for almost another hour. Logops told me it's a good thing I didn't start my clock and to just sit tight. I should be 3 hours down the road but instead I'm two Philmor cups of coffee into waiting. Blows goats

    Your lucky, Eastman is the least amount of headaches in there.
    If you ever load at Dow there, Make sure that tank is absolutely spotless and not a hint of an odor and can pass a vac test

    Yea I know how Dow can be at any location, many times I had to seal up everything and I mean everything or get rejected , I had one place use a baby dropper to trying to find moisture, 2 trailers rejected and I then refused to go back with another. Whatever was goin on there they wasn’t going to load that schneider trailer no matter what. It wasn’t Dow it was down in Louisiana somewhere. Guy was just lazy an it was easier for him to reject then to load one it seemed.

    Word! I'd take 10 Eastman loads over 1 Dow load there. My old company even had pre-inspection authorization, but they still opened the done and did a vacuum test.

    There's very few benefits to pulling latex, but one certainly is no one cares about moisture in the tank after a wash.

    Weird, I used to go to DOW by bedford all the time with schneider, never had a problem with trailers. The appointment times are firm, no early loading there.

    Just got certified for nukes, thats all I've been doing since. Plant security is insane! Lol. Every single officer has a ar15 and sidearm. Plenty of mags too.

    OMG, you were one of the lucky ones.
    I feel really bad(for the newbie) drivers cuz 7 out 10 tanks getting rejected are Schiender trucks.
