    Late but scully is the overfill protection/ Grounding system for trailers to communicate with the racks. Trailers have a wet probe at the top of the compartments. If they get wet it shuts down loading. Without a scully permissive you can’t load any rack I’ve been too.

    Negative in Portland, unless stated at the gate of particular rack, and that's only if they are having VRU issues. Loaded all 5 at once yesterday at Shell, 13 minutes for 11300 of gas.

    Got a 4 hole big tube up here in Mi , I can get about 13,400 loaded in sub 8 minutes. It’s honestly insane

    No one arm racks up in central tx but flint hills is only 3 at a time. Everywhere else is as many you can hook up.

    3 at a time would be fine with me, but only one at a time is ridiculous. Are you in Waco or Austin?

    I have a question, I really want to get into hauling fuel . I’m in SoCal . I have 0 experience and I don’t have my hazmat yet but I have my tanker endorsement. Are there any companies that will provide paid training ?

    Superior tanks lines would provide training if you had your hazmat. Maybe MJ tank lines. Not sure on them though. Quite a few down there

    I’d start by getting your hazmat first, then see if one of the local companies will give you a shot. If not you may have to take the non hazmat route to start.

    For those looking at different fuel hauling companies, ran into a Maverik driver at the rack last night. Said he's going to hit 90k this year working only 4 days a week, 50ish hours/week, 2k safety bonus every quarter and a 5k profit sharing bonus every year, seems like a good work/life balance.
