    Striker,i was talking about empty cans.
    So they don't smell when you check in to load.

    How about the place that doesn't want to load you...used to see this w/ late Friday afternoons picking up at a tank farm in Bayonne, NJ.

    You watch the as loader climbs up to check that the interior is dry and his chemical resistant gloves are held in one hand...

    'Tank's wet, rejected"...as he puts the gloves on to climb down.

    I know he had the water inside the glove!

    I know the tank was dry.

    I always taught my trainees to ALWAYS wear their gloves when climbing the ladder as you never know what wasn't washed off the outside when they cleaned the interior.

    Be hard to climb his next tank with busted kneecaps. You're a better man than I.

    Nope, not worth getting stopped by the cops, also not worth the risk of the holdback breaking and the door flopping around damaging something. Usually we'll try and air it out the night before if that's an option.
