    Believe me. I've been getting hounded and harassed the past, six years about going down there and becoming a rich man. But I have yet to take the bait due to my lazy nature.
    No kids, no relationships, and I'm just looking to get my pickup truck paid off in order to scale back even further.
    Already spotted some 40-something hour a week locals to take on once I got my debt cleared, so I think I'm good as far as jumping into the modern day, gold rushes.
    And becoming a Texan? Eh, I think I'll pass on that fanfare.

    I believe that may have been a truck issue... Usually when the vapor is open it locks up the brakes.

    Third week on the job. Setting up hoses, parking in the right spot, don’t cross drop. Challenging ,but not bad

    Right now all you need to worry about is your flow. Follow your steps the same every time. You will gain speed later.

    If you are really nervous you can try loading with one arm at a time or hook up one arm then start it then go back and hook up another then start it. That way there’s no confusion. What I did when I was new was take a little sticky note pad to write everything down.

    That’s what I do. Notepad with compartments and arm #. Getting more comfortable with 2-3 arms at once

    Ok. Cool. Remember slow is fast when dealing with fuel.
