Honestly I've been leaning this way just being upfront when I go in to do my paperwork just putting it upfront cause I feel like better of coming from me than someone else

If you overflowed a 3k compartment with 2940 gallons, how do you figure that wasn’t a retain? Considering you should have had 60 gallons of outage, you probably had over 100 gallons left in the compartment. Can’t trust only your scully to verify retains.
At 2940 for a 3k compartment, the system had probably already passed the first trip and was slowing loading-probably why he was able to stop it with minimum spillage.snowman1980, pathfinder1361, scott180 and 5 others Thank this. -
Is it not part of your loading procedure to pail check the compartment?
When I hauled fuel, prior to loading we had to take a pail and drain the retain into it before hooking up the loading arm. This insured the compartment was empty before loading.pathfinder1361 and bzinger Thank this. -
Sounds like someone is short some fuel? Should have flushed those compartments?
That probe should have shut off the system. That trailer should be locked out of that rack.snowman1980 Thanks this. -

I'm sorry but that is just not correct. You hit that sensor going full blast and you're going to have gas shoot out the top. I've done it a few times in the past 25 years.HiramKingWilliams, pathfinder1361 and Cat sdp Thank this. -
