    Sitting in Beckley doing a 30 min break. Scott called. Told me he would deliver this load but plan on working Friday. 3 hours to go before dropping it on the yard.

    Unloaded at exelon byron, IL.

    Sight glass overfilled quickly, so i killed the line. Safety came out and said ice was in line causing backpressure. So I restarted offloading slowly, then heard a loud bang. Thought i blew the tanks! But it was the ice blowing out. Finished offloading. Small spill due to sight glass leaking out.

    Lesson for the day: Always watch all parts of the tank, sight glass, and lines/pipes. Luckily, i was watching it today and caught it instantly. Normally i hop back into the truck and wait.

    I’m loading at place named somneborn or something, it’s just 2 mile or so from terminal in karns city, taking it to south Charleston WV, to univation technology, something bout go to Dow to get weighed before unloading, it’s by terminal there, idk I never been to terminal there, figure it out on the fly. I took a really nasty fall earlier walking around truck on some ice. Banged me up pretty narly, gonna be a gimp for a couple days. Just sprained my wrist and busted leg up. Be careful on ice by the way guys lol, it bites

    Call WV dispatch see if they got a local guy to take it over, theres something about that dow plant that they don't like to send over people that haven't been there before. I think the orientation is long or something.

    I have watched that video it’s not much different than anywhere else. We go there farely often so you probably want to get carded in. The scale is to the right from the gate house a quarter mile or so.
