What to expect with your trainer/ bulk division.

I guess????? What are you harping on, take the time and actually type a little. I match the what the bill says to the tag on the valve and make sure my work assignment matches both. Come on and tell me how stupid I am and how I don't know what I am doing. Tell me how much better your way is.

 

I'll say.
The haul no haul list is pretty straight forward if that's what he was talking about.
I thought he was trying to say that every time he loads haz he looks it all up in the book and checks everything. Which I was going to call b.s. on.

 

A driver actually getting assigned a load that is prohibited is rare. I have only heard of it happening once. I would look up any packing group 1's though. Or anything poisonous, radioactive, explosive, etc. But I have never had anybody even attempt to load anything prohibited on me.

 

Yeah and they are real forthcoming with MSDS sheets too.

 

A tank wash simply cleans the tank so that it can haul other kinds of chemicals. You cant mix chemicals and we have no idea what the next load will be, just like you guys. Once a trailer has hauled chemicals it can never haul anything food grade again. We have no food grade business. Some of these chemicals are really hard to clean. Like Floc for instance, which we call snot. Imagine a tankfull of snot, the sticky kind. Takes some heavy cleaning to get all that residual out. Basically a tank wash is turning a dirty tank back into a clean one. Clean, dry and odor free is a tankers mantra. If you showed up at a shipper with a dirty tank you would not like the result.

As far as the regen that has never happened to me. If it did I suppose I would have to shut down the load and let it do its thing and then restart the unload.
