    Probably just a couple of hours. I mean actual cleaning. Total time depends on how busy they are.

    Seems like your 14 is probably up....

    Unloading out of hours = unsafe :(

    If they were pumping it off id be sleeping over the wheel lol. Safety chain or wire the cam locks and make sure the lid cant fall closed and set my alarm to go off every hour to check on it. We had a couple customers like that back in my tank hauling days. Good thing was they knew it was a bad deal so they did everything. So we got paid for sleeping

    Something tells me that's not the first off load of this stuff at this plant....

    Let me guess... no one warned you of what was going to happen. Beautiful.

    We've all done it... doesn't make it right.
    Blow a hose , gasket or have a spill and see who the plant tries to hang......

    We're not talking about bumping a dock .

    Didn't say it was right when l get in a deal like that l start getting an attitude lol. Plus thats why i said if they're pumping. That way theres only suction on your hose. Pretty rare to blow a line from suction. If i was pumping it off l wouldnt admit that trick publicly lol

    12 hrs. never had it that bad just for unloading time, But did sit at Exxon/mobile last wed. for 8 1/2 hrs due to ( caustic )frozen valve and product line, When I got started it took 40 min. to air off

    Maybe they should change the 1/4" hose for something bigger.
