Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
Short day today. I wasn't dispatched on anything last night, so I slept in this morning and Edmund , my dispatcher called me about eight in the morning. I was cleaned up and dressed and finishing breakfast by then. He had a local acid load to do, and when I got in to work he had a pre-load to add onto it. The trailer didn't have any hoses on it and this load was for a new customer so I wanted at least forty feet of quick connect and twenty feet of flange hose. You can never have too much hose!
But I could not find Jesse the hose guy. I needed him because the hoses are eight-hundred dollars each, so they keep them under lock and key! After about thirty minutes of looking I called Edmund to page Jesse. He heard that and finally came out.
Got going to the shipper and Thomas Perry called me to remind me that Rhodia was checking cards. All my cards were in compliance so I was good. It was nice he thought about it and had my back! Loaded at Rhodia in Houston. I seen Thomas Perry going in the plant and Stuart Stapp leaving the plant.
The consignee was Westway in Houston just a couple of blocks from the shipper. That's nice! I've loaded lots of caustic loads there but never delivered any acid there. Their tank was easy to get to and I had a nice trailer slope. They store a lot of molasses and carmel and it stunk!
Drove to Altivia to preload the trailer. I checked in and drove around the corner and a truck was blocking the way, so I had to drive around and back in to the loading rack and then back out.

Hmmmm, no B rating today, must have been too busy to have time to pick. So which do you like better, the short hauls or longer ones?
