I Just Got Myself A Perfect Man and He's All Mine.

Johnny,

I can ask him if he has a brother for you

I Just Got Myself A Perfect Man and He's All Mine.

Ish,

he's not only going to pat me dry, he will apply lotion on my skin too...all over...

I will have him dry my hair too and sprinkle some talcum powder all over my body too...

I Just Got Myself A Perfect Man and He's All Mine.

Palm,

he's a gem, a very rare one. I must thank my lucky star. Imagine having a hot man doing everything for you and pleasing you every day of your life...bliss!

Hi Ish,

here's mine

"What About The Driver ?"

Hey Kal,

I don't mind having them subcontracted as long as materials are delivered safely and on time. They also help cut on shipping cost. Accidents could happen anywhere, anytime or with any carriers. If not accidents, materials could get punctured, damaged...often times lost or stolen

"What About The Driver ?"

Hi Hans,

We are now looking into separation of some chemicals but this will be something costly. We ship our chemicals by land , air and sea and across the border. We do provide all the necessary documentations including IMO and HazDec for sea and air shipment, national or international.

We use different shipping and trucking companies, provide all documentations but in business, profit often times dictates how we ship the materials and we tend to overlook some rules and regulations that could cost us extra money.

We shipped (SODIUM HYDROSULFIDE, SODIUM ALUMINATE) and (Ferrous chloride, Hydrochloric acid) but did have them properly labelled and documented so in this incident we were covered.

We were told today that those spilled chemicals that emitted very bad gas were possibly not ours and that our containers were intact, I will know for sure in the coming days. the lack of information is so frustrating, one tend to think the worst scenario

"What About The Driver ?"

Kay,


I'm sorry about your tragic experience, tragic events like that create a void in our life that can never be filled.

yes, it's very difficult and protocol must be followed, reason why it's difficult for us to get to the bottom of things.

When I got the first call, according to protocol, they must talk this specific person ( who's no longer in our company), then call after calls , trying to follow protocol and most of those calls according to the report I received were unanswered calls, left messages , or numbers that are no longer in use.

They can not give out all the info and what little info given to me was not helpful at all, mostly misleading

"What About The Driver ?"

Hi Ken,

the information given to me was very misleading, said the trailer carrying our chemicals hit a tractor, the next day, I was told, it's the icy road that caused the accident. So much headache and hassle last Thursday and Friday. Couldn't get all the right info since last week as to what really happened but managed to shipped out replacement materials.

This morning we were discussing about putting those drums of chemicals, whatever left of it in over-pack drums for disposal or to return to our plant in CO then we got informed that those spilled chemical might not be ours! So much confusion ,so I requested to send us photos and I'm still waiting... don't know where things stand at the moment

Chemistry were manufactured in CO, transferred to IL, shipped from IL , destination was AZ, accident happened in Missouri, I'm lost here!

I hired a broker, he gave me different carriers to chose from, I picked one, the one I picked subcontracted the shipment...no wonder it's difficult to find out what really happened...

"What About The Driver ?"

Track,

yes, those chemical are brutal. I don't know what happened to the driver, I hope he's OK. I will know more tomorrow. Claims need to be filed, I notified customers and would need to send replacements and the incident just changed some rules...I've learned some lessons today which is not bad.

"What About The Driver ?"

Nam,

Our broker is OK, I'm just not sure how they deal with the truckers, I know they can get very low rates and it works for some of our customers in far areas and want to cut on shipping cost.

We have accounts and discounts from different shipping and trucking companies like RL, USF Redd, Holland, SAIA, YRC, Estes, UPS, Fedex and many others but for some strange reason, brokers' rate could sometimes be a lot lower, don't know why that is

"What About The Driver ?"

Molly,

That happened to me in Turkey My first trip there, my flight back home got delayed twice and my gate was changed to 5 different gates and every person I asked didn't have a clue as to what's happening had this crazy idea that there might be some kind of terrorism happening in Amman, luckily I got home safely


My last trip there was also silly. I arrived at the gate and found an airport personnel there. I asked him if I'm at the right gate, he told me I missed the plane. I was confused because I arrived there more than an hour before my boarding time. The next guy I asked was also a passenger, he was not helpful at all. I sat there feeling lost, worst part, I couldn't connect to the airport wi-fi so I found it hard to contact anyone. Was sitting there mopping when suddenly the area was filled with loud passengers and felt relieved when I heard some saying they're going to Amman too and I didn't missed the plane

"What About The Driver ?"

Nam,

I do have lots of respect for truck drivers specially when they're on the road , they help keep the business going and life easier by transporting our goods and foods from one place to another....

trucks carrying hazmat usually have a safety distance clearly visible to other vehicle.
We used a broker when we shipped those chemicals, our customer chose the cheapest option with longer transit days because they can wait for the materials, we picked a carrier and for some reason the carrier subcontracted the shipment to another carrier so it got complicated. I approved it because it's less cost for the customer who opted for cheapest shipping method. I usually recommend carriers that we have worked for long time now and we usually ship bigger shipments that this one, usually a full truckload or half a truckload . I've learned that accidents and delays could actually happen no matter which carrier, specially when bad weather is involved

"What About The Driver ?"

Molly,

Funny how I can get more info here on the blogs than from the parties involved

That's definitely the one, The Fort Leonard Wood Hazmat Team did request for info of the chemicals and their safety data sheets

"What About The Driver ?"

Molly,

Yes, I think that's the one. I really hope, the driver is OK

"What About The Driver ?"

Nam,

I was informed of the accident happened today, I got the first call from Infotrac, the report they sent me was mainly chain of events from their side so the date could be wrong. Im just surprise that the company of the driver don't have much info on what happened. I was on the phone with them for a long time, talked to their safety manager too but she told me, they sent their team to investigate and no solid info yet.

"What About The Driver ?"

Molly,

didn't know that...where did you get the info?

"What About The Driver ?"

Nam,

I-44, that's what they wrote on the report. Have no idea what that place looks like but report says, spillage on asphalt road but have yet to determine if there are sewer and bodies of water involved.

"What About The Driver ?"

Nam,

That's why it's important that they should be well and focused when they are carrying hazmat .

a tractor-trailer accident ? How could that happen ? They must be both speeding or texting or the asphalt road could be too narrow for both of them...

"What About The Driver ?"

Nam,

yes, I feel them. I deal with a lot of shipping and trucking companies, big and small and familiar with many shipping issues...and drivers are generally put to blame when things fall apart

I hope everythings going well for you there...

"What About The Driver ?"

Healthy,

those are hazardous chems, are in a 55 gal drum containers, they're palletized, they were picked up from IL and going to AZ. I just find it a little hard to imagine a tractor-trailer accident...maybe bad weather was partly to blame ?

"What About The Driver ?"

Nam,

accident happened in Hazalgreen, MO. Destination of the chemicals is to Nogales, AZ.

one of the responder called the driver's company just to let them know what happened, they didn't get much info from the driver, he was not able to call his company so he could be hurt. I will know more tomorrow

for all our hazmat, only certified drivers can pick them up.

Yes, it took a while clear the road, emergency teams were there to remediate. I don't have the specific details, except that there was a tractor-trailer accident and chemical spillage. The report I have from infotrac is more about time and brief description of events, including lots of unanswered calls to different parties. I made phone calls to get details but will have to wait till tomorrow.. Then there will be claims to file, shipping of replacement materials, etc, it's kind stressful...plus unhappy customers who's production line will shutdown

"What About The Driver ?"

Molly,

That's about to change our labels. It's normal to shop hazardous chemicals as long as they are properly labelled, documented and certified. We didn't break the rules but today's incident just made us put a new rule not to put those 2 chemicals together, that would be a hassle and extra cost but in the world of hazardous chemicals, safety comes first

RE: Funny Turn

RE: Funny Turn

Molly,

RE: interesting read in Psychology Today

Hey Ash

RE: Funny Turn

Molly,

RE: Blogging couples...
