Try hauling propane. The hose connections will freeze up in a second. No torch, just a bigger hammer!

Do not use hoses that "frost up" while uploading propane. It indicates they are leaking slowly through the wire mesh. Years ago I knew I had a hose in poor condition and requested a replacement from head office. (Vancouver) I was an O/O pulling their trains. They keep telling me they were having problems getting them as few companies built certified propane hoses. Sure enough one day I was unloading at Mackenzie ICG bulk (they were called that before Superior bought them out) and a hose blew just I was finishing. (highest pressure - tank getting full) I had the old slide in jack shaft PTO. Since I was standing outside I quickly turned my truck off. Grabbed the emergency shutoff handle for the internals. A pulley broke loose from where it was attached,and it was use less. I waded into the cloud of gas and turned the big wheel valve closed by hand. When it all got shut down the whole yard was a big cloud of gas. Only then did I realize just how scary it had been. I just reacted. Glad nothing sparked as I would not be able to tell the story.

study up on hazmat and tank sections.
then go here and pre register on website then go get finger printed.

then you go test out at DDS.
I'm not sure if they will help ($$$) wise to get your X endorsement. I really don't know, I just know if they want you to get a TWIC card they will pay for it. Not all area need it. (we don't use it at the N. Augusta racks)
Also its best to go to the terminal and apply rather then online. I know they are accepting apps. But not 100% on if they are hiring right now cause its the slow season for another month.overdrive99 Thanks this. -
