Where's u tankers loading at this morning

@Cat sdp ... you know your tankers, and probably asphalt better 'n me, from your previous stuff. Why the heck would 3257 take 5 hours to offload?!?!? That wash for @19d is gonna be a whole nother event, I'm thinking.

We use our same handful of trailers, and rinse/repeat... only rinsing once every 3 months. Idk.

 

Ain't THAT the truth! You even said, you "don't" unload your tanks (ie: the 5 hours, maybe? ) A 53'er is gonna take you that between backing, docking, and unloading, methinks!

 

Question for fellow tanker o/o's... Besides the obvious ( money) what else do you take into consideration when accepting a load?Are the rates product or customer driven? Trying to find out what would be the best way to run the truck.

 

@ChicagoJohn he should be able to help you some

 

Kudos to you guys who can stay out that long

 

Product temp and or polymers could be an issue....

My guess for problems would be a collapsed hose or gasket sucking air... pos pump or fill line that's coked up.


No way should a Asphalt load take 5 hours to come off... I've had a few take 2 hours tho.
