Great to hear man.... stick with it... you ain't gonna get rich but indo love the job

@@Life-On-18-Wheels it’s a well paying job for the amount of work involved in my opinion, I live pretty comfortably coming from my last job. Not sure if I wanna do it forever but I enjoy it for now nonetheless 👍🏽

Heard that

May I ask what company do you work for?

@@alonshalit5778 SBT, INC. (Sapp Bros like the truck stops)

Thank you man it is appreciated✌️✌️

Ahh man thank you.. be safe

Thank you... I do appreciate it and congrats 👏 💯

Thank you

Do you not have to use a vapor recovery on the gas?

Ahhh thank you appreciate it

Thank you sir

Once you get in a routine you can be pretty quick at it... you get plenty of exercise if your willing to do the physical labor

Ahh man thank you...

10-4 thank you and good luck

Ahh man thank you... I got plenty other videos as well on this subject and also did a update video on this.... go check them out also

Thank you man

This store has always showed water but there isn't any I forgot to mention anything about the water past .. gonna have to make a short and show the channel that

Good luck

Thank you

Cool how is the pay am still thinking either Schneider or prime hauling tank!!!

Are you OTR OR REGIONAL?

@Gonzaga Wasswa my first truck driving job was with Schneider been driving 11 years now. Can't remember exactly what the pay was but I remember I was not to impressed. I would imagine it's better now coming out of the pandemic

Thank you man and you right about having a mess on your hands lol

Thanks 👍

Thank you.. you are on the right track.. learn as much as you can about it..

👍

Yeah this trailer here is just an old one I got from yard.. my trailer which is loaded with oil, has the v taper to it so it unloads really good

Ty much

Awesome! Thank you!

Great man good luck

Man I wish I would have done this a long time ago... good luck with everything and I got plenty other videos on hauling fuel and doing pump offs and stuff... feel free to check them out... thank you ✌️

@@Life-On-18-Wheels Thank you very much! I do too...I'm currently finishing up a police academy, but realizing it's not for me, I just can't quit though, I need to finish this faze and check it off my list! I'll check out your other videos too, keep up the good work!

Thank you ✌️

Yes it does all out trailers are double bulkheads

Thank you sir

Thanks!

Anytime thank you

Thank you ✌️

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

This is gravity... we just hook up and let it go... no pump needed

Thank you

Thank you, and the only thing we have to wear is fire retardent clothing and safety glasses and work boots when at some of the loading racks... but other than that, not really

Same to you

@@Life-On-18-Wheels thank you so much ☺ good night sir.

Good luck!! Thank you

Cool deal how long u been hauling..

Lmao come on now 🤣 😂

Most small amounts you can put the pads on it and it'll evap before ya know it

Absolutely.. I do appreciate it

Pull a tank is better then any other trailer

It all depends usually we just load for 1 store in a load sometimes we do a split load... usually 2 stops... and usually do 3 loads of gas a day sometimes 4 if we are busy...

@@Life-On-18-Wheels thanku! Just curious where is your base Terminal?

Ahh we got about 6 fuel terminals that I go to in louisiana... they are in Opelousas.... port Allen.... sulphur.... alexandria.... Shreveport and bossier city... so we don't really have a base terminal... we just go to wherever our customers want us to pull loads out of

🤔

I love it wished I would had done it along time ago

Yes sir the pumps actually mix it themselves nowadays... if you see a pump that has mid 89 oct then the pump is a little bit older then the newer ones.. doesn't depend on brand all it depends on is how new the pumps are... but yes it does mix it at the pump.. now with that being said there are still stores where we have to mix it in the trailer when we are loading it where we load so much 87 and then load 93 on it to mix at the rack...

@@Life-On-18-Wheels Okay, thanks for showing how transportation and fuel management works, I've always wanted to know how it's really done.

Last year I made 115,000 usd gross... that was my highest year with 3 weeks Vaca and 5 sick days

@@Life-On-18-Wheels Awesome, keep up the good work! Thanks for the videos.

Anytime man and thank you

Ahh man sorry to hear that..

I don't think that is a law anymore if it is then it's not in louisiana...

We only hook up vapor recovery if we are in the bigger cities Baton Rouge, New Orleans ETC.. when we are in rural areas it is not required to hook it up.. thanks for the question

Only in metropolitan areas in louisiana.. not rural areas...

God bless you as well thank-you

I understand what you are saying but what difference does it make if you hook the hose on the drop first then on the trailer? Why is that so important to do so.. just because maybe you would open the valve before hooking it on the drop? That's why you always double-check before you open the valve.. you can easily cross drop by simply putting the drop on the tank first, then hooking it up to the wrong compartment on the trailer.. that's why you ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK... so it doesn't really matter if you hook up to the trailer first or ground first. Just DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE YOU OPEN VALVE..

@@Life-On-18-Wheels I’d say the difference is you’re looking at it from a seasoned fuel hauler perspective. When I train guys I just want them to work in a way that can prevent spills & cross drops. Think about when you were new to fuel & how much you really have to think about & how much responsibility it actually is once you get to throwing those hoses. I’ve seen a lot of my trainee’s get wet because they moved the hose from compartment to compartment without shutting off a valve & that’s minor, but you just hope from a trainer’s perspective that you’re giving your trainee’s the tools to be successful & not have to deal with the headaches of the job. Veteran guys have been there done that so don’t you want to pay it forward so new guys don’t have to go through the same mistakes we did? It’s just an extra precaution is all. To each their own.. like I said I’m not saying what you’re doing is wrong by any means! There’s a bunch of different ways to haul gas.. but if what I said makes sense to somebody & makes them more comfortable down the line then it was my pleasure. Again brother I think what you’re doing is great! All productive conversation here & no malicious intent sir 🤝🏼

None taken bud appreciate the feedback

lol thank you

Yes all of our trailers are double bulkheads between each compartment...

That was my keen eye for detail! Lol

@@papajoegarage8008 10-4

Law in louisiana is in rural areas no vapor recovery is required... only metropolitan areas we have to recover the vapors.... not quite sure what you mean by vapor dust cover... I have my vent dust cover on trailer off so the trailer can vent properly...

I really can't make a video of how we load the trailers due to no camera equipment in the racks but I do have one rack we go into that might let me do it but u haven't asked yet... if I am hauling fuel I am pretty much home but I usually stay gone all week hauling oil across the lower 48

Just gravity dump

Awesome man...

Yes sir do it sometimes to check trailer before oil to make sure trialer is clean....

It's a good one

Where you out of?

Ever see Steve Benito?

@@customparts6723 nope sure havnt

Charlotte NC

Oh ok I come threw there every once in a while

In louisiana we do not need to recover vapors in rural areas but in the big metropolitan areas we do... even if I did need to recover the vapors we can unload 2 or 3 products at a time if we had the equipment to....

@@Life-On-18-Wheels got it thanks

No the Crack is from heavy tankers over the years pulling in to unload... if you had 7,500 gallons of gas and 1 gallon of diesel in a hose do you think that 1 gallon will contaminate it?? I don't think so... when that product finishes there probly ain't a 20 bottle of whatever I just got done unloading that is in the hose... if that... there's no way it is getting contaminated

If it is when you heard the air then it was closing the internal belly valves on the trailer...

Yes there is only residue from the last product In the hoses so it won't be much to contaminate...

Oh yeah slide the seat up lol

I have no clue.... I see some prime drivers on here that pull tank so might wanna hit one of them up

It's very dangerous job I have a friend does that there's lots of rules u have to fellow.

Yea, we have that print out from inside the stores to tell us how much it can hold and stuff but if you are not at a store with a print out and you start to fill the tank then the flow stops and we'll let's put it this way.. this coming up Monday I got a video gonna drop from my labor day loads and let me just say that this very question is answered on that video

@Life-On-18-Wheels thanks for the reply, I will definitely take a look Monday. Be safe out there!

1st question-- we don't hook a ground cable to the truck while unloading but we do at the terminal we load the gas at.. 2nd question-- yes there are vapor recovery at the gas stations but in rural areas we do not have to hook it up... we only have to hook it up in the big metropolitan areas.. 3rd question--we stick the tanks to verify a more accurate reading then what the print out shows... the print outs do not always read the tank levels correctly... Hope that answers your questions

Promotional film of our company unfortunately it is spoken in Dutch 😜 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hs6aZrOZrLu9kZs.html

Even though it ain't my language I still enjoyed the video sure do like that old red truck that he stands on front of.... how much do yall haul per load??

@@Life-On-18-Wheels about 46.000 Liter think its 12.151 Gallon ? total weight of a loaded truck and trailer 50.000 KG thats about 110.000 pounds? does this make sense?

By the way, the red truck is an American truck which are rare here in europe and is only used as a show truck

I will make a KZfaq short on that subject. Be looking for that this week

Your looking for your ullage hes got a mixed bag of products ulsd 93 87 the print off will tell you what fit in each tank stick reading is the before and after inch readings

Well, it depends... sometimes it is just 2 loads, and then sometimes it is 4... time usually varies from 8 hrs to a full 14 hrs of the day just depends on where the loads pickup and drop off

Ain't never heard of it called a F fitting.. we call it a double drop... I use it cause I don't have another single drop... I get a print out to see what tank is the lowest so I can stick them from lowest level to highest level. It is just a routine I have done for years... and what is the manifold???

@@Life-On-18-Wheels are trailers have 3 wheel levers and rotate them to unload all product out of one load head instead of unhooking every time you have to change compartments. Whole load of road, off road, or unleaded is great

@@Life-On-18-Wheels you use hydropaks or mechanical pumps on your truck for pump offs?

We call it a F fitting because it looks like a F. You can attach vapor removing to it. We have to use it at one of the hyvee stores my company goes to

Man if it is I ain't never heard about it...

You've never heard about this? Wow...Need to let the tank "breathe" so you get a better stick reading!@@Life-On-18-Wheels

Thank you man... trailer is 45 ft

No a v bottom trailer is better.. it drains better... this trailer I was using that day wasn't mine due to mine being in the shop... but my trailer I pull is a tapered trailer

@@Life-On-18-Wheels ok good to know. I start CDL school in a few days. I’m learning, thanks for sharing. I hope to haul fuel too. But I’ll start wherever. Retired Army too. Ready to work!

i know its a little late but phone dont let me know when i got comments after the fact of replying to once already but do appreciate your service

@@Life-On-18-Wheels no worries I know your a hard working trucker.

My advice is to try and find a mom and pop company first that will work with you.. the bigger fuel companies tend to no hire no experience...

Read other comments on this.. I have answered this numerous times

@@Life-On-18-Wheels Thank you. Just curious on the differences between locations and different setups. 😀

In louisiana we don't have to hook up vapor recovery in rural areas.. only in the big metropolitan areas.. now the ground cable.. I have never seen anyone hook anything like that up.. they may do it in different states or countries but I have never seen it done around here

In louisiana w edont have to have vapor recovery for rural areas... but we have to in metropolitan areas... this was a rural area

@@Life-On-18-Wheels 10-4

once again in Louisiana, if you are in a rural area, you do not have to hook up vapor recovery in the big Metropolitan areas.

@@Life-On-18-Wheels ok gotcha. We gotta do it up here in Texas. So just wondering. I probably missed your explanation.
