    Much appropriated guys, and y’all right that’s what trainers for.

    But I think I’m going to just quit soon. The money just not in gas hauling for me it looks like. The Trainer said it’ll take a while to get to $1000 after tax checks , I’m used to $1250-1300 a week take home . Think ima go back to food trucks or beverages
    Can’t take a 15k paycut for a riskier job

    Pratice your math… you’ll be doing that in your head before you know it

    I always wrote out what was in each compartment before driving under the rack . Then when you get to the stop there’s no cross drop action….

    And if you’re naturally decent with math it’ll start coming second nature to calculate gallons

    You don't need to get out of training until you know everything you need to know to do your job safely.

    Just put all 8,000 gallons into the 1,500 gallon compartment. Then go by the CAT scales and pour a cup of Mountain Dew on them. Problem solved.

    Not a simple answer because it varies. 8000 of diesel or 8600 gallons of gas or is it gas diesel mix?
    What compartment sizes are is your trailer.
