I love fuel hauling

I had a chemical load hit me in the face taking a cap off a hose one time. It was some type of detergent added to lawn pesticide. It burned my eyes like you wouldn't believe. I imagine Diese fuel would have you stinking for a while

 

The tanks are vented in a different area, sometimes behind the station, on the edge of the property, or above the pump awning. BUT!!!!! This is one of those "call dispatch and let them make the decision whether or not to drop" situations! At the very least they should be made aware of the issue.

 

Diesel does not require vapor recovery. That's the why it was when I was working. Our policy was if it's there use it.

 

Is there more involved unloading fuel vs chemicals in a tanker?

 

That's nice

 

Even in California I didn’t use a vapor recovery unloading diesel. Most stations don’t have it.

 

I just got hired on with a fuel hauler here in the PNW, straight out of CDL school (6 months). Yes, hiring drivers is hard here, so I got lucky, but I also pursued it.

Having my TWIC & Hazmat endorsement in hand helped sweeten the deal.

Good luck!
