I have been with Superior for a year or so. It is startling how many places I have pulled from or delivered to that have said "this is the last time you will be here, they're shutting her down." One of the places was an Ineos in Belpre, OH!
Anyone else notice that freight seems to have stalled? |

I have a lot of friends at "BP" who are out of work by the end of the year. Saw several BP units the last 3 days which have already been "De-IDed" except for "Operated by BP Products North America" on the doors. I wouldn't have made any more money if I had held on the extra 5 years...so I did ok. |

Wow! I was just at an INEOS in Indian Orchards MA. They just got a product line back that had been transferred to Belgium. Miller is going to be busy hauling into that plant for a while!! :D:D |

Question for anyone who cares to respond, what product is the biggest pain to off-load? Wax seems to be a real pain, but at least you get to air it off. Pumping resin's is just a sticky mess. |
My new "old" ZJ!

Leaving Superior

It's too bad because Superior is a good place to work. But I needed more than a part time job. Thinking back, except for the summer's, it seemed like it was always a battle to get miles. Always calling the inbound dispatch terminal and getting a tank wash back to my home terminal. Get to the home terminal and it was always no freight because there were too many inbound drivers and they get preference. Never understood why other terminals could get away with sending me home mt, but my terminal never had freight because we had to take care of the other terminal's drivers first. I start my new job Monday. I hope it is everything the manager presented to me during the interview. I have nothing but good things to say about Superior. If they had loads I would still be with them. You Superior driver's take care. You're a good bunch :) |
Where are you going geargrinder.
I have seen a slowdown as well but my terminal seems to have enough dedicated runs to keep us busy. I have only been in the system twice in the last 6-8 weeks or so. This week I got 3,000 miles with Thurs off. Ran empty out and loaded back twice. Left Monday early back by 4 PM Wed, Out Friday early and will be home Sunday afternoon. |

Superior will have to fire me before I leave. But IMO Atlanta is one of the best terminals in the company, which is my home terminal. The terminal you run out of is the main thing IMO. Some just don't have very much freight. |
how does new jersey stack up..............?????
