Night shift guys stick it. But most of my drops are not that close to overfilling. Gallons ordered fit just fine. I had a close one and had to call dispatch to verify if it can fit. Brand new store so they have good readout on veeder root
I love fuel hauling

I had a veeder once tell me there was a 3" in the tank. My stick said there were 47" in the tank.
lovespink Thanks this. -
Yea... never trust the veeder. Actually I’m at wrok right now and the station I just left. The veeder said there was 52 inches and stick said that it was empty... I had to go back a double check that the time on the veeder was correct.

I didnt realize it was the pumps trying to suck fuel. I guess because they wanted to sell every drop.
I had one go off on me as well , the flapper didn't work either so didn't know until after I was done. I knew it was going to be close though. I always stick no matter what. I have also found that you need to vent the tank before you do or it could cause up to a 10 inch difference.Cheezy_smile and lovespink Thank this. -
How do you vent the tank? Please explain.

I start my first fuel hauling job next week. I'm starting on nights. I'm really looking forward to the change away from flatbed.
TakinItEasy and lovespink Thank this. -
Good luck!

Good luck. Take your time. Double check everything. Ask questions, there’s no stupid questions in this line of work
lovespink Thanks this. -
It was some time ago but I stuck every tank before I dropped. They were just getting the auto tank readers installed but I never trusted them. I could get a better reading off my stick and reading a tank chart than any auto reader (back then).
Having hauled for a dedicated carrier was nice because we had no pump offs. You just took the remaining load to the next station. However, I bumped in many of loads. Our stations could sell 100 gallons within minutes so I didn't wait long, if any. That's before the 90% full law went into effect.
