    IMG_1544.JPG Loaded up the crock pot with some spaghetti sauce. Going to make my Mom 5 or 6 frozen meals for her and my dad and take them up to her Mother's Day weekend.

    Got back from N Chicago yesterday. Heading back out tomorrow afternoon for a 5 AM live load in Hopewell Va. That load delivers in Houston Sun AM. Since it's 350 degrees and a specialized trailer I run back empty to the yard.

    Sitting in Fresno waiting to load kosher grape juice for delivery in Ontario next Tuesday. Hoping to get a reset in Denver on the way there. Getting paid detention to wait for loading, and for tank wash this morning, so I'm really liking tanker right now.

    We have a run down to that Rustoleum plant in Lesage. Its a thick product, takes 6+ hours to load and you have to unhook to reposition the truck and pump it off. The last time I went I had an adapter to use their air, so it was air over pump and cut down the offload to about 2 hours.

    I used my air and their pump.. the offload only took 2 hours on the dot.. but had to let heal draw off sides for a hour and then finish.. and the internal valve inop at start, they made me go off location to work on it.. I slept for couple hours in Hutton road now going 300 miles Charlotte am going home.... I'm done

    What did you have to do to fix the valve?

    He said he used motor oil. Probably refilled the hydraulic jack.

    Make sure you know what your company uses in their hydraulic jacks for the internal valve. Do not mix oil and antifreeze together or you will have to go to a shop to have it fixed. They do not mix well and you will not get the internal to open at all. We use antifreeze in all of ours now. We also had a few drivers mix the two and it didn't end well. Just thought I should mention that before someone just goes and pours whatever they can find into the hydraulic jack.
