    Damm. You seen some bad poop over there. I know some you don't care to remember or talk about,and I don't want to pry either. But if ever you want to/need to, Denise and I both are for you.

    A poly something acetone from Dow Chemical in Dearborn,MI, to the LP mill in Quanah,TX. Something they used to make particle board with. Had to keep it refrigerated in case it leaked, to keep the flash point down. Guy that loaded it said if it leaked, and there was a spark, I would have about 2 seconds before I met my maker.
    To make it worse, it was in galvanized tanks about 6ft square, 18" high, and no baffles. One rough shift, or a tap on the brakes, and the whole truck rocked forward and back for the next 5 miles.
    They had me park out on an asphalt pad to unload it, and no one but the guy unloading could be within 200ft of it. I was never so glad to get a load off my truck, and never hauled any quantity of flammable/explosive after that. The worst load could have been in my shorts, if it wasn't for the pucker factor.[:D]

    It wasn?t the dead hadji that made it bad, it was the circumstances pertaining as to why he was being flown to the USA for an autopsy.

    No, I asked about it, and it was some king of acetone they used to dissolve a fire retardant that was mixed into the glue that they made the boards with.

    Back then I think I was making a whopping $0.24 a mile, and got a $25 bonus for a clean inspection at the scales hauling Haz-Mat, ...before taxes.[B)]

    Work for me and you better get a clean inspection! Roll in there with bad tires or airbags screwing up my safety rating and you?re ass is on a Greyhound!

    40 years and 6 months, 1 million+ miles, never failed a piss test, 1 at fault bumper tap from a factory defect ABS system, and never failed a DOT inspection. Guess that ruins my chances of ever working for Swift.
