Here in Louisiana at Exxon we have to take an empty 5 gallon bucket and open the valve on each compartment and verify they are empty before you can connect the loading arm to the trailer .
Good video! I started hauling fuel back in the late 80's. Back then there was all leaded gas. You had to make premium and plus and winter blended fuel. They gave you the gallons to blend, but you had to figure it per compartment. Different truck every day, different sizes of compartments. You had to be very careful. There was top loading too. Very dangerous. Your filled vapor lines indicate someone overfilled a tank while delivering. We loaded at about 30 different locations, all different. I worked for a union company and get a pension.
@@yaiqaab I was paid by the hour with full benefits for the whole family. They never rushed you and mistakes were not tolerated. Yes, it was in the 80's and I don't think jobs like that even exist now.
@johnslesinger7109 Union gig very rare, but good companies still around. Glad top loading is done with at terminals. I'm about to jump to another outfit for better pay and benefits. In the pacific northwest hourly rate is about 36.00-40.00 per hour now. Equipment is fairly good and time out is about 10-12 hour shifts.
Having hauled fuel for many years, I've always set my proceedures to match the strictest SOP of the racks I go to. Like turning off all lights, the radio and such when I pull up to the gate. No idling when I'm waiting to enter the rack. Chocking the wheels if I get out of the cab and not inside the rack. Doing a walk around to check for hot brakes or flats and empty compartments before entering the rack. Leaving my cell opine in the cab and always be at the emergency shut off while loading. Doing all of those things every time no matter where I was kept me in check all the time even ifnthe facility didn't require it. I'll say this much. At a lot of racks, if they saw you hop out of your truck to get your BOL and left your truck idling, they'd lock you out for 3 or 7 days.
Man you broke so many rules lol.. Phone and GoPro under the rack.. Always connect scully then vapor line then open belly valves smh.. That’s why you had fuel squirting out the vapor line because you released the tank pressure before connecting the vapor line 🤦🏾♂️ Do those things at Marathon Jax Fl and you’ll be permanently locked out..
Nice rig. T880s have a lot of room in the cab. Miss the one I ran. A cummins and an 18 spd. would've made it perfect. I used to run L.I. Fun times, made some good 💰Pulled out of Motiva, Carbo and Mobil before it was Global. Nice trailer too. Master switch is wired to Scully. Push it in when done. Don't rely on the door. Never been to holtsville. Interesting touch screen. Watch that phone before you get locked out, bro ! Google earth is definitely a Godsend on a new station. Used it one time to find snow covered fills. Bossman funny. Worried about the danmn truck wash ! Be safe !
Suppose to turn lights off prior to entering rack, there’s def no electronics under rack and it’s always Scully, vapor, internal and then hose …good luck buddy.
Don’t work for any company that won’t let you use electronics. Electronics are safety devices. If they’re going to shove a camera in your face for safety, shove your devices in their face.
Hi farout trucking I have respect for what you do because hauling fuel is highly dangerous because of the chemicals in it and God Bless You and Your Family
How did you not get kicked out of the rack? Is your camera hermetically sealed? This rack must not require a twic card? I had a fellow driver in Seattle that was brought up on federal charges for recording at Kinder Morgan . Great video though, shows the motoring public how their fuel gets to the station.
That's at Holtsville, NY and yes if the camera is not INTRINSICALLY safe you will be locked out for life, probably even if caught recording at all. Just hope terminal management doesn't see the video!
Nashville must be in the stone age. Their seemingly antiquated systems are not as smooth and seamless as this system. 24 years trucking, mainly OTR and LTL, I decided to try fuel delivery. Definitely have to pay attention to what you're doing, at the point of delivery as well. Great video, my friend.
Thank you so much for the video! That for me is one of life's greatest mysteries solved. I always wondered how the oil trucks get filled. Thank you for keeping us moving :)
Wow looks like health n safety is abit relaxed where you are. No electrical devices are allowed on in our terminals lol. Would love to record a video haha. We even have to wear safety helmets fml😅. But awesome work man. Love to come and haul fuel over there. Big ups man from us over here in New Zealand🤙
Depends on the terminal. Some require just hard hats. Others like this terminal just require safety glasses. No phones or electronic devices is the rule at all terminals. Most are relaxed with other rules and won’t give u too much crap about it but shell (motiva) terminal is super strict about everything. They require hard hat, glasses, high vis vest and full fire resistant clothes. 1 mistake and they’ll lock u out for life.
I was going to say the same thing. Up here in Canada, most terminals would have kicked him in the first minute of the video backing up. That is like first rule. Also switch loading, no FR coveralls, electrical devices, cell phone, cotton sweatshirt. ...oh and the biggest pet peeve...no drip pails under the loadheads.
Thinking of hauling Fuel. How much calculation is involved, like do you need to know how much your putting in or is there a meter that shuts it off. I did propane but we had a gauge that you just watched.
You know I bet your not supposed to get a fuel truck loaded... while being naked covered in green Jello while reading playboy smoking a Cuban....but you know I thank the man knows what he is doing y'all
That guy at the end of the video is a jerk oh you got it know the gas because of people like him the truck business sucks for entry level drivers because they think you don’t have the right to learn on the job
Nice video!. I Did this for 8 years before I quit driving. Excellent Money, Easy job, But High Risk, High Reward. This is 1 job NEVER to get in a hurry. However, You couldn't Pay me enough to do this job in NY, let alone Long Island. 【 ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛】
I'm thinking of hauling gas later this year. I talk to the fuel haulers in the area and they said they like there job. It pays well and great benefits. I'm in California in the orange county area and hope to be working for a fuel company by the end of the year. Thanks for filming the loading of the fuel and giving some good tips!!
Exactly what this guy said, if you have 2yr exp already check out Jackson energy, superior, cool transports. Superior I know let’s you use phone when not driving and waiting at rack. I met a guy yesterday new driver in tanker work. They started him at $32hr training after training it’s $34 his shift was 3pm-3am 2-3 loads a shift
As for me I’m hauling red dye diesel and I can load on top of retains, but I only fuel locomotives and we’re underpaid lmao but I’m a new driver 9mo of exp so far. I’m at $23 I’m only here riding it out until I land a better job. I take home 1300 a week 5 days. Morning shift as well which is impossible in tanker work these days. I’m switch to superior or Jackson energy when I have 2yrs.
Also jet speed pays you like $38hr but they have a lot to do and be careful, im carded to haul jet fuel, but you have to sample every compartment at the rack and at the airport. If you not cautious don’t do jet fuel. Spills are no hood either for any fuel work.
Shouts to Long Island. I have my CDL no experience though 😔. Going for my twic and hazmat this week. I already have tanker. Im from Nassau county. I always see those trucks, i can only drive automatic though 💔
All of the racks here that I go to in Illinois are very strict on not being on your phone anywhere near the load rack lol, surprised you can film your whole process here! Pretty cool lol
Exact thoughts, at Chevron I’ll get perm locked out if caught using phone on loading rack but we can use it 25ft from loading rack but no recording anything showing chevron logos.
Not being on your phone. Lights off when you pull into the rack. Walk around. Do not back up in the rack. Walk around before you leave. Spill buckets out when your loading.
CROSS DUMP HERE!!! I DON'T MISS HAULING FUEL !!!! RACKS SHOULD HAVE A STANDARD ACROSS THE RACKS , ALL DIFFERENT!!! DONT MISS COMING HOME SMELLING 😂😂😂😂😂 THANK FOR KEEPING THE STATIONS FUEL. FOR SO MANY UN THANKFUL DEMOCRATS ASS HOLES!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very relaxed terminal. In Chicago you'll get locked out for pulling into the rack with the lights on, leaving the truck on while checking to see if you're lined up, only applying the tractor parking brake and not the trailer brakes, using cell phone, and recording under the rack lol but other than that, sweet video driver!
very interesting video! Im your competition, plaing the same game bud. But im in Australia. double tankers, 7-10 compartments, 57.5-68 tons. Kenworth 18speedo. I always wanna make a video like yours, but our procedure will not allow us to use any camera or phone to record during the loading and unloading. What camera do u use? Go pro?
This was a good video, a lot of information, I going fuel soon as I get my two yrs experience at the tanker company I’m at now,,, tired of the road now
Hey mi broda, how are you? I am watching your videos on how to load up your fuel tanker. Some questions I have, bcus I have my cdl a with tanker and hazmat endorsement. . Whats that section on the tanker that you connected that yellow hose, the vapor hose? What does it do when you connect it the the rear of the tanker? And I see you have 3 sections. One in the rear, the middle, and up to the front. Does it matter which section you put it at? Am thinking about getting into tanker, fuel.
I drove for a company here In philly called Cardinal we loaded out of pbf in south philly their racks are different from the one you load at brought back memories but I went back to driving motor coach for a company called landline
I’m looking for a fuel hauler job in south Florida, I am currently a OTR driver with no fuel experience… I have all endorsements twic card and all 2 years 4 months Cdl experience dry van 53”
Hi there, I just obtained my CDL do you know any companies that will hire me in southern CA with no experience? I really want to get in the fuel, hauling industry
Wild to me that you are allowed to use a go pro while loading at the rack! I got a feeling if the rack found out about this video you’d be locked out immediately! I’ve never been to a terminal that would allow such activities
Kartal in coram going to holtsville terminal bruh but a lot of dudes there do a lot of sloppy jobs be they have not been in Cali or nj they will be banned.
Terminal op here at my rack you have to wait for the gate to close behind you, shutoff the truck do walk around unit. No electronics, lights off prior to entering rack. You have to stay in your lane while loading, no gloves on the card reader. Someone scully out that trailer if you have that much product in your vapor line. Not an office more like bol shack, looks like they’re going to be doing end of year tank gauging as well. Being empty is always worse than being loaded.
You pulled on the rack without allowing the static to dissipate from your truck, so in other words, stop set your brakes count to 120 release your brakes and pull on. I’m just blown away by this.
To drivers who needs to know how it goes. Make sure you have your compartment increments already tallied up then before entering the rac go around the truck check your tires and knock on the take just in case to know if your still have product in those compartments! Then change the product compartments if needed. It makes it easier when going in the rac and less room for mixing loads or scullying out
like the video.. bro...thanks.. over the road for me .. going four years... never done Deizel... i have hazmat and tanker ... i was hired by a company .. to learn fueling , but jus never had the funs to sustain me , for training Period.. im hoping the next time i go to learn this new department of trucking ... i will land the Job..😊
Your boss man must be Turkish. the name Kartal on your trailer means Eagle in Turkish. and his Jersey is soccer team Jersey in Türkiye. Team name is Beşiktaş. Their symbol is eagle 🦅 Tell him Hi from Beaumont,TX from another gasoline hauler
@@emreeroglu8519 Ben artık yapmıyorum. Yaklaşık 2 sene yaptım şimdi Kimyasal tankere geçtim. Fuel işinde beden işçiliği çok. Yüklerken boşaltırken hep dışarda yağmurun güneşin altında çalışıyorsun. Lokal işler içinde kazancı güzel ama.
