You'd be surprised what all they can access on their laptops.....:smokin::smokin:

Speaking of good old Karns City, PA, I'll be up there myself later tonight to grab a load in the a.m. since Baltimore has nothing. And as usual, Grandpa is running away since he left out earlier today. Getting scared of those 3" hose overhead presses aren't ya! We can always just grab a wheel like back at Garden City in the early days and do that since it's a lot lighter... :crossbones: :moon: :rofl:

Yeah, uh-huh....right, whatever.......:smokin::moon::moon::smokin:

Hey "Slacker boy".....you wanna talk about pressing rims? I could've used your excessive energy levels yesterday and today..... had to hump 7 big ass batteries from the store to the pickemup, then down the dock and onto the boat, then down into the salon, and then into the generator compartment, ......after dismantling the wiring harnesses for the house bank and the generator.....then hump those 7 bad batteries out of the boat back up to the pickemup, then put the 7 down into their compartments, reinstall the harnesses, and take the cores back to the store...... Each of the batteries weighed at least 75 lbs each....which isn't all that much....but when you consider where they were, and where they had to go.... I could've used your "excessive energy levels" to make my life easy.....but you were probably laying around somewhere eating ice cream.........

Just happy this only happens every few years.......

67-68-69 mph Depends on what truck you are assigned.

lol naw i didn't mean that slow.. i meant slow as in work/freight??

plus i think i live to far from a terminal.. i live 20 miles west of richmond.. and i the closest ones are Baltimore, and a few in NC..

I'm searching for a Tank company, i just got my Hazmat (well once it past the background check) and Tanker endorsement.. I'm going to try Atlantic Bulk Carriers out of in my neck of the woods but i'm not expecting much of anything tho..

But again, that damn Blue International just caught my eye and i was in love lol

These just showed up on the High Point Yard. Picture quality sucks as my cell phone camera doesn't handle low light levels very well.

:lol2: I would've been glad to have helped. 75 lbs??? Man that's light! :lol: And eating ice cream? Man, you have me mistaken for someone else!

Some terminals have work at this time (like @ Kankakee...), yet some/most still don't seem to right now. Maybe part of the reason I'm keeping busy is the fact that I'm staying out extremely long periods of time with minimal time off, especially compared to other drivers who are going home on each and every weekend.

A friend of mine had sent me a pic of one up at Markham a couple of months back. Thought they were acquiring bigger sleepers for y'all to use??? Looks like it's still the tiny, raised-roof coffin sleeper we're all used to. Okay, so I'm going to make a small (no pun intended) dig at the company. Notice how a lot of the other chemical tank companies who used to use small sleepers are upgrading to larger ones, yet with the exception of the experimental Volvos, we're still buying coffins? E.G. would be Rogers Cartage (International 51" midroof up to 72"), TSC (seeing more 60" Volvo's up from 42" in their Chemical fleet), Highway Transport (Mack 70" midroof up from 42" flat-top), and of course, Schneider has been running 70" extra-tall midroofs for years now)



Not that it really matters to me....... :thumbsup:

Anyone know how far you got to live from a Terminal?? is 100 miles acceptable??
