An exasperating, long, drawn out day.
8:50 am, I pull up on the Ethylene rack to get loaded. Dude comes out: There's gonna be a wait. I need you to move off the rack until we're ready to load you.
Slow product, was the claim - it's been going on for weeks, you'd think their maintenance department would have fixed this issue by now, it's costing them literally truckloads of money.
4:30 this afternoon, they start loading it. Yup, I sat there all day long. 2 other trucks showed up, around 4:00 pm they sent them out of the plant, but me? Ohhh noooo, can't do thhhhaaaaaatttt.
I started seeing product coming out of the vent - that's a big time no no. Then I get a call from my manager, well they're sending you out of the plant, the trailer has a leak. OH? An hour later, after they drained out everything they had pumped in and got rid of the vapors the let me go. Go - that is - to get another trailer and come right back.
This just went on and on and on. I finally gout of that plant at around 8:30, cruised back to the yard and went home. I had less than 2 hours left on my 14 hour clock, no point in trying to drive anywhere and I didn't feel like sleeping in the truck since I didn't have to.
That's it, lol. I have nothing else. For whatever reason, this all took it out of me today and I quite exhausted.
So, going to sleep.
