    I’m running only dedicated this week and I love it.. The dedicated runs are awesome I think, took a bit before they started letting me run them. I don’t know if they had make sure I would always be on time or if someone quit or died (hope not this)..
    Had off Friday Saturday & Tuesday, last week normal 4 on/3 day off week (my favorite)
    Today Leaving goin to Indiana to get loaded, not sure where in Indiana and drop it Highpoint, then grab empty an head Plaquamine LA and drop at Highpoint. Solid 6 days I’m guessing, Be home Friday afternoon on 11th and having weekend off. This would be perfect if had it every week, it be only 1 day off 6 on, but pay will be huge every week, only 1 day off week though, needs 2 drivers to rotate weeks...

    I got the yard early still happy about getting to church yesterday. Fusable link is broke, so tank didn't get Nitrogen purged. I should be done soon about three hours late on my load time.

    This dedicated P&G run I’m doin now is the best. Highpoint empty to Washington Indiana get loaded and go back to Highpoint and drop. Takes only 2 days. 1178 miles and pays $615.44 don’t have to touch a hose or anything.. that’s good money for two very easy days. Soon as I get back this evening to Highpoint I’m doing the dedicated run to Baton Rouge and back. Should get back Highpoint Friday. And it will be a 1800-1900 for 6 days of easy work. This why superior is the best tanker company I believe to work for..

    Pack a lunch for Plaquemine. Took 5.5 hours to load me today. They were training new guys at both the inspection and loading racks. Took 2 hours just to get back to the loading rack. 2 more to load, then 8 trucks backed up in the outbound lane to check out.

    Some how we are now doing Kosher loads.
    Out of Wolf lake terminal in Hammond, In.
    Had a load and go fri 7am appt. Up to Milwaukee
    Was laoded by 7:50 but the lab and C of A took til 10:30 so didnt see Milwaukee till 1:30 and 2hr unload so leaving there on a fri afternoon took 4:15 back to our term in Lansing, its usually a 2:30.drive.
    So 5am start time and a 830pm punch out time.
    Yep, we use 16hr exemption and it sucks
    Nice day of pay, but it sucked just crawling down 294..
