First, I need the reactions at the supports (no need to draw the free body for this simple loading):

Taking the usual very short free body diagrams on either end, I get a shear of 48 kips at A and - 42 kips at C. The moments are zero at the ends. These will serve as checks on the values obtained using the singularity functions:

The singularity function is the constant C of integration, as is VA. I determined that it should be negative because concentrated forces drive the shear curve in the same direction - in the negative direction. A plot of the shear is:

So the maximum shear is 48 kips. You can see from the areas (in parentheses) that the moment reaches a maximum at 9 ft; it is 320.6 kip-ft.
