    Hey firespook, in training, how long did you have to wear the full chemcal suit?

    I had to wear the suit one day when I was doing fire watch working in a plant and it liked to have killed me. It was in June and I felt like I was boiling in an oven.

    I have hauled tanks for a couple of years. I am set to go to orientation on the 28th as a lease operator. Big trick in being a tanker yanker is to not get in a rush. Take your time and ask questions of the customer if you are unsure of anything. You will do fine, just take it easy.

    Dont even think about leasing yet! You have a tremendous about of stuff to learn and skills to develop. This being my opinion. Leasing on as a tanker driver is a different ballgame than what DFO and the other guys are doing

    I know it is very much different cause what DFO does is not mileage base pay where as tanker is mileage
