    I'm oncall for work. Just got an alert a log directory was nearly full. Had to rotate out some logs and add a bit of space to bring it up to our standards.

    Now my brain is too active to sleep.

    Me too. Should have been home 45 minutes ago but guarding a homicide scene while detectives and CSI do their thing put a damper in that.
    Dang it.

    My problem was my dispatch paper told me to take 3000 gallons of diesel and 10000 gallons of gas to a station. Only the diesel tank would only hold 2300 gallons. So I had to head to another station in Grand Rapids that would hold the rest of the diesel.

    Yuck. You can't take it back to your "home base" where they fill the tanker?

    That's one option. But in this situation, it had to be delivered in that particular market. Pricing issue. Way over my pay grade.

    I've It's been in this industry over 10 years now and the whole pricing issue is so unbelievably complicated nobody I know knows how to explain it.


    Here's one example. At a terminal I was loading at in Illinois, a driver delivered 8,000 gallons of ethanol to that terminal. Then he turned around and loaded 8,000 gallons of ethanol for a terminal a half mile away from where he picked up the first load of ethanol in Iowa.

    He drove and got paid for about 500 mi to basically move a load of ethanol a half mile away.
