I was hoping the tanker guys in here wouldn't mind if i started a tanker terminology thread in here, Im highly interested in tankers myself, so all input on this would be greatly appreciated.
As the thread grows, i'll copy and paste them into this first post.
Thanks in advance

Are there any terms that a newbie should know? Any west coast tanker training schools? What something about driving tankers (besides the surge) that people just don't know?
I'll think of more questions -
How long was your training? (where you got hired at)Was it paid?
What did it consist of? -
