Semi truck drivers

[Volsdeep4]

I was thinking this would be a cool place for us drivers to network, talk, and help on another out, share horror stories, share pictures of our rigs.I’m an owner op and own a small company with more o/o we haul pneumatic tanker (cement and fly ash) for concrete companies and flat bed ( coils, lumber, concrete pipes and structure). What do you guys haul and where to?

Blowing off into one right now! Mobile mixer?
Changes thread title cuz don’t have to be just TN. Are you guys being hit with a cement shortage?

Yes on the cement shortage. I drive a volumetric truck. It is like a mobile mixing plant. Pretty neat. Just got tires on the semi should got for cement on Tuesday.

How far are you having to travel for cement? I’m from Nashville and been driving to Knox (3hrs) up to 4 hours away one way for just 1 load.
Honestly idk if I like doing anything more than fresh virgin tires.

I am lucky I guess. I only have to go from Statesboro to Savannah. About 60 miles.
