Experience Tracker for Prime Inc. Tanker Division

We have load charts on our tanks, and we have several different series of tanks with different capacities, for the most part we try to maintain a zero heel tolerance policy, We can’t do anything about it when we’re having to pump on an incline, And I’ve only been to one shipper that actually used the dipstick while loading out on the racks.

 

Also, we don’t use Imperial gallons here at prime, Neither do any of the shippers or receivers we go to, they go by scale weight.

 

I will get a picture of our simplified load charts lol, they have them completely dumbed down.

 

I meant for the people who have never seen a chart

 

Whats going on gang! Just wanted to check in and give you guys a report, we went from Port Newark,NJ to Richmond,CA this week, Two days before I got there a big surprise happened… Yep you guessed it my heater went out again, and I was hauling palm of oil in one of these 2019 Peterbilt’s, Which can’t heat a tanker unless the in-transit heater is working, So as you can guess the load got rejected, we had to drive over to Stockton to get it steamed up to temperature, sit around for a full day, and then bring it back to the receiver the next day, luckily on my original stop at the receiver I was there a day early on a Thursday and was able to get it unloaded by Friday or else I would’ve had to stick around until Monday, we got out of there and headed straight for Indiana to get this thing fixed, I sure am having a lot of great luck keeping my heater functioning lol, Still making really good miles and still averaging around $1300 gross/week. I posted a new YouTube video that includes our load charts as well as a little information about heel if anyone cares to check it out! Hope everyone out there is doing great and making some bucks in this rough economy this year, hammer down y’all! Heres that video!
