Lifting requirement for tanker drivers (for future refrence)

I suppose so. i'm just your standard damsel, i'd break in half in a strong breeze.cant even wipe my own nose much less drag around the big scary hoses.

 

I am by no means a weakling,lol,but I am not capable of lifting 100lbs over my head. I can lift and carry a fair amount of weight mind you, but not that much. Its possible ,since I have no previous professional driving experience, the hr woman didnt want to take a risk or maybe she felt a male would be a better candidate.I have no idea. I think its a more prudent decision to go with Roehl and get a more thorough training experience while im new and impressionable, lol.

 

Why would the hose be full of product if it was going back in the tube, wouldn't one normally let the hose drain before disconnect and then store the hose?

 

I used to work in a slaughter house when I was young, around 16 yrs of age and I got it where I could lift my own body weight, approx 160lbs, so I know it's all about a skill set, a knack of lifting. But to lift 100lbs over your head can be achieved by working up to it. But it's not going to be easy. Lifting hoses full of fuel can be heavy, especially diesel but take it from me and I've had my fiat share of back problems, be very careful when lifting. There's a technique to it. I'm sure some of these companies could care less about your long term health.
you just have to do what's best for your well being.
Good luck.

 

I ask because I do not know, other than to guess that one could elevate the supply end of the hose and walk the high side toward the outlet side, while still connected at both ends, and let the product drain as you move. I ask to learn, I make no claims to experience in this field.

 

That makes perfect sense. How do you transport and then dispose of the residual product in the buckets, does the truck/trailer have spill proof compartments to store the buckets in, or...?
