Don't know for sure. It may be tightening up. Pete C was turned down at 180 out and he had 20+ years experience. I had heard 120 when I started but only from message boards.

They had one in Markham a few months ago. Nice sled.

:thumbsup:
I heard R&H, Kankakee went to that drab, dirty, rotten pumpkin looking Orange.

First message I send when I leave the home terminal - I don't need to be home for a month. Doesn't seem to work.

Just a quick update...

Hope y'all have a very safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. I'm laying over getting hours back so I can make the drive back up to IL then, am taking off 'til Monday afternoon since I've been going pretty good as of late. But once back to work probably gonna hit it hard through the end of June and vacation! Lord knows I'll definitely need a break by then!!!

It wasn't really the weight...its where they were....and it took a three step process to get them out of the generator compartment...and then had to carry them off the boat..... Wish I had taken pictures....might take some just to show how much fun it was....

Man that's light! :lol:
Maybe, but sit on the ground and lift the weight with your elbows straight out....up out of a box as tall as the batteries.... Yep, I got some sore muscles....took 7 out and put 7 back and relocated another....big 4D.....

And eating ice cream? Man, you have me mistaken for someone else!
You know you like "Moose Tracks"...... :lol:

Got a question. How does tank wash pay work? I was asked to stay with a wash today for the first time instead of dropping it. It took 2.5 hours. Are we paid for the entire amount of time or is it like unloading and loading where we get a flat rate then hourly after the first 2 hours?

Rob, sorry been away for awhile, been tending to other things. Yes, just like load pay it's supposed to be flat $20 then hourly after 2 hours...

No problem. Haven't turned it in yet anyway. I just figured everyone was running pretty hard. I know I have. Back to back 3000+ mile weeks. Unloaded today in Thomasville Ga and just got tankwashed home. Stopped to take a shower and when I got back to the truck had a different Tankwash message for N Charleston. Called Scott in High Point to make sure it wasn't a mistake and he told me to come on home that he needed to use me there.

They wanted to load me for somewhere in Lousiana. Anyone else noticing the system picking up or is it just luck of the draw.

It has picked up, but it's still a crap shoot. Don't insult companies that have real operational and management systems by referring to Superior's cluster fudge as a system.

Exclamation

Superior is becoming the TMC of tanker outfits!

Everyone else get the memo yet?
