To figure pounds of propane to gallons? It's 20 pounds propane = 4.7 gallons.

Correction: natural gas is stored. There are massive storage fields all around the US. These storage fields are essentially older depleted fields, that have been converted to storage fields. The gas is pumped back in during the non peak use months, then they reverse the flow to supply demand. Propane is a totally different animal.

I did a pre-buy for 1500/gal at $1.89. Now I'm smiling all the way to the bank.

I was listening to the trucker channel today and a propane hauler called in. He said they are not running logs and loading the tankers to the max. Which means they are overloaded. 80K +.

The govenors of Mich. & Wisc. gave them a blessing to get er done. We're running out of propane and It's cold out out here.

Yes sir, that's the American way. Minimize the risk , use your head , drive accordingly and git r done.
Back in my big truck driving days I hauled coal to a power plant. Paid by the ton. I was overloaded every trip. Only had one scale to dodge , took good care of my equipment and drove accordingly.

If you read my previous post it explains why no logs.
Here in OK, most of the trucks that haul propane have 90k gvw. Thats the state max you can register at for commercial tags, anything over is permit required.
Of course farm tag trucks dont have to register a weight.
oops. forgot to check mark that stupid box again!

Illinois has waived the hos rules as well for propane haulers. I'mo pretty sure missouri has as well.

Called for a refill on Saturday of my 500 gallon tank. They delivered Monday at $1.89 gal but only gave me 150 gallons. As long as I don’t run out I’m okay with that.

[QUOTE=MillerTime;533911]If you read my previous post it explains why no logs.
Yes sir, I read it. In my short 9 years of being a professional steering wheel holder though I never logged my waiting time "on duty not driving". It was always logged "off duty not driving" or "sleeper birth" so I could truck it up when loaded. I guess I was an outlaw..lol
Those were good days when you could make a buck or two. I got out in 97 and sold my 2 trucks in 99.

My regular place charges flat rate for filling my 7 gal tanks. $24 2 months ago and still $24 2 days ago. However, Tractor Supply went up in the same time frame from $2.69/gal to $2.99/gal. But every time I've ever gone there for lp, they've been out of it.

Hope you guys stay warm, it's only going to be down to the mid thirties here on the border tonight.

My guys here in Texas run under the Texas Intrastate and Oil Field exception laws . 15 hr day and 24hrs resets the 72 hour clock. Like the old days. They can keep all the electronic logs...at least for now.
Happy Trails
