I love fuel hauling

Not worried about AQMD while doing that?

 

lol... yea.

 

Here's a tip. Make fuel hauling your stepping stone into hauling cryogenic liquids. Much easier on the body and better pay.

 

I’m going to try it tonight when I go back to work.

 

Stick a clothespin into the lip of each dome lid on your way to get a load of bulk oil from Chevron after hauling gas the day before. That should vent it out enough to get past the sniffer they use at the refinery. I saw guys do this. I always did what they wanted: at least TWO full loads of diesel beforehand, no gas vapors!

As far as sticking tanks... We were required to. Our load sheets had a before and after space for each product tank. If it wasn’t recorded, you’d get a phone call. We used tank charts and the veeder root reading was another reference.

 

So far so good with my new fuel hauling job. I've been learning allot and having a great time. Two surprises so far: 1. I didn't think I would enjoy driving their automatic trucks. I've only driven sticks. I actually love it! It simplifies the work day a little. 2. Every store/company has their own procedures they want followed for unloading and you have to learn them. Same with the Racks for loading. There are similarities but the steps and paperwork vary. I just assumed there would be a set standard across everyone.

 

Thanks to everyone for this great thread, learning a lot here just by listening to how everyone else does or did things.
