It was deep enough to cover the top of my boots with every step. When the 2 inch hose filled with product it sank into the muck and almost disappeared. Big mess. Three compartment tank unloading into 2 different pipes. 60 feet of hose both times. Fortunately the second place wasn't as deep in the muck. It took 10 hours to empty the trailer and by then my 14 was shot so I slept 8 hours at the plant.

I saw that on the travel order and thought about the little pills that kept you up all night back in the 70's. Turned out to be a nasty place to spend about 18 hours. 2 inch hose up 3 stories to the tank. Got a workout pulling my feet out of the mud with every step though. Glad I washed my truck 2 days ago.

Black beauty is a processed coal slag used as an abrasive (shot blasting). Stuff creates a mess. Another really messy substance is carbon black - like the crap in your toner cartridge.

I pulled a few ROLLOFF trucks to a landfill a time or 2 with CARBON BLACK from a TIRE PLANT messy stuff...

Any of you guys ever handled a product called Silica Fume ? It's a by-product from the extraction of aluminum, and is used in batching concrete to obtain different grades. Now that stuff can be highly temperamental !!

Update to above update lol, Talked to Ken @ Atlanta terminal and he told me they were not needing drivers at this time. The economy slow down was hurting them but to call him back in about a month and see where they were at then. Said he would go ahead and look over my app and see what it looked like, but to keep in touch. Do you guys think it would be to much to call every week :rofl: LOL dont wanna make him mad . Seemed to be a super nice guy. well I will keep you all updated and see what goes on from there. Gotta find me a job tho before I go crazy at this one. Im Out
