Where's u tankers loading at this morning

Are any of the trucks damaged there? I doubt they would be , but I must ask.

 

Everything is tight lip right now. The tanks by clean harbors caught on fire. The ones on tidal road across from Texas molecular. The whole area been down for a week or so

 

Ahh ###. You know when you pull in. There is truck parking on the left, I'm the other side of that parking line near the repair bays. At least I think that's where I'm at. It's been 2 weeks. I'll find out Tuesday.

So no one can enter there at all?

 

Yeah the truck should still be there just don’t know if they are letting people in the area. It’s a really bad deal for anyone in that area

 

Good thing I don't blow my money for the most part. I owe the IRS 10k.

 

Yeah hopefully they start to open things back up around the area. I know a few drivers already hurting brcause they off owner op and company guys

 

We're running hard. Got all the work I can handle.

 

I’ve had my share of run ins with ITC, especially with their facial hair policy. Had one instance where I had just got through shaving, I finally get to the window 2 check in (after sitting 45 minutes to get on scale) And the guy tells me I have to much facial hair, this disagreement goes on for about 5 minutes, finally I go back to my truck get my shavers and I’m literally shaving at the window in front of this guy to prove my point, he finally let me in 2 get loaded. But having said all that, I don’t wish stuff like that on nobody, I know jobs and people lively hoods are affected

 

Normally I run out of St. Louis, but I've been loaned to the Bossier City terminal. It seemed slower in St. Louis, more drivers than usual sitting at the terminal when I got there, and I got resets in the middle of the week a couple times in February / early March. Shreveport area has a lot of loads, I've been running hard since I got there, other drivers there say the same. I'm not sure how the Deer Park situation will impact everything. I know we shut down a couple terminals at least for a day or two during the fire and the air quality issues.

Good luck getting your truck, hope everything works out quickly for you!
