    Yeah, that's for the in ground tanks, I believe we're discussing the trailers.
    Also, that only works if the tags are still there.
    At the rack where I mostly load, the hoses are separated, 2 for 87 octane, 1 for 93, 1 for kero, 1 for dyed diesel, and usually 2 for ULSD.

    If there's no tag you don't drop. Why would a drawing a station layout help at a rack?

    I don’t even write anything down. I figure out how much of what product I’m gonna put in each compartment while driving, I load it, then I drive and unload it. Doing this 8 years now I haven’t written anything down in the last 6 years. No labels on my trailer either. I just have a great memory.

    Have probably 50 lift numbers in my head too that I never need to look at. I have a great memory.
    Get a kick out of watching people scramble through their little notebook looking for a lift number that they can’t remember even though they’ve pulled off it twice that week, and over a hundred timed in their life

    You will make a mistake just a matter of time. I wouldn't brag too much. Let us know when you do.

    No one mentioned drawing a station layout. He was referring to a trailer diagram, with what he fills into each compartment.

    Probably, everyone mixes sometime in their life. Writing something down isn’t gonna prevent that.

    I’m 8 years strong. About 130k miles per year and 800 loads per year, without a mix yet. Some people are just born for this job

    Ok. Weird. Never had a problem getting product on my trailer.
