    You'd be pulling out of SLC. About half way down the state some will roll down to Las Vegas and load there go back home. It all depends on price too. Go look for the large white above ground storage tanks. Most of the time they are around the R/R. yard.

    Although running them under is a big pita, I'd rather do that or run a long hose than have to move. I feel intelligent when I can position just right to dump several products at once and everything reaches juuuust right. :biggrin_2559:

    I've seen people say they get paid 20% of the load. But what is the average load price
    $100?

    I just found the forum and have seen some good tips from you. Maybe you have another one in your bag of tips. I went from driving construction for the last eight years to a large fuel company hear in Tacoma. My question is, I was really surprised to see how fast the oxy based fuel evaporates on the stick. Is there some something or somehow that I can get a real good read of the stick without having to redip 4-5 times. Some of our sticks are new and some are pretty beat up. Do you think the black side works best or the side with the inch readings? I'm in my forth week of training and will be on the night shift of course. Also truck placement at the fills, any tips there? Or will that just be an experience issue? Any help would be much appreciated.
