....feeling sick

Good luck! Let me know how it goes.

 

The fact that you are not complaining about the smell of the digester where you unload tells me that you have a pretty strong stomach and you are not whining.

When I unload at a digester it takes a couple days for the smell to get out of my nose.

Have you asked about running the hood fans at the restaurants and/or opening any doors while you load to get some cooler and fresher air into your work space? You are correct about the fumes being not good.

You can sell turning on the hood fans to them by telling them it will reduce the smell in the building.

 

I've pumped grease traps that haven't been pumped in years and I've never had the problems that you're having. I've never felt lightheaded and I've never had problems breathing while pumping grease traps and I have asthma.

 

I did this line of work in 93

Had same expierences as you but ignored it. If you can handle the farm, you can handle the smell. Pulling up to a truck stop is no comparison here. After 3 months I was sick as a dog and memory was shot if you ain't vaccuming outdoors you getting poisoned boy. The smell too after time but what you smellin is fumes and they going in your system. Ain't worth your health buddy. Doctor said if I continued doing this line of work wife would be digging early grave. Mask don't work in this line of work because of its already too #### humid. When people see you pull up and run already, they think your some kind of chemical hazardous unit with the scuba gear if you throw that on.

Ironic you driving a grease truck with no hazardous labels on it, but when you doing the work you are askin for cancer

Diesel ain't gonna hurt ya. Grease fumes will

 

Hes getting poisioned. Boy is getting trapped inside buildings with no airflow. You want the industrial ones where you outside or let you pop in when they running. Boy has a boss and 100s of store owners that have another boss that franchises. Basement worst for this. If it is a franchise some run electronically turning on vents only when needed. Boy can't flick a switch

 

I'd say the boss has a bad contract with lots of work good money but hard to find someone to do work. People getting sick here
