    No rush. I double check everything before I hit start. Since I am new and I pull out of 3 different terminals they watch me how I do things. Had all regular unleaded loads today. Yesterday had 3 different products for one station. Had to pay attention when dropping it.

    Yes. You have to pay attention! It’s easy to mess up...

    I pull from three terminals as Weil. I've been doing alot of pump offs lately i really wish they paid a little extra like other companies in the area sometimes they are a pain.

    Yeah pump loads should pay more. I only did one pump off for a trucking company. They have their own pump

    I had to do a store last night that was down to 100 gals of unleaded left. I couldn't even pull the cap off the tank there was such a vacuum on it! I opened the vent tube with my yard stick and it sucked air for like 5 minutes was interesting.

    Why didn’t they turn the pumps off?

    I had overfill alarm go off on me today and store was over 2000 gallons 100%ullage. Go figure. Do you stick before every drop or veeder root?

    If the veeder is close then you must stick. Sometimes they aren’t accurate especially in the rain.

    Some of our customers wont let us stick period. Usually when I bring the load store has plenty of room to take a whole load. Dispatch is watching gallons for every store. Had one that was pretty close to 90% ullage yesterday. But they were busy so I was able to dump the whole load without worrying

    Don’t get into that habit... I think most guys will stick if it’s high.
    What if the store was closed?
