New to the chemical tank scene. I need all the help I can get!!!

Ok, real quick update. We ran the load to Louisville yesterday. Took 5 hrs to unload (1hr) to actually do it (4) to get someone to do it. Anyway, we shagged tail back to the yard and pre tripped and spotted another trailer in to a customer north of Cincy. I drove all day, and I just tried to copy everything my trainer did as far as driving. He told me that I would have no problem getting up and going with things.

This morning we have plans of meeting at 0430 and picking up a loaded trailer going to E Town KY. Air unload. Looking forward to it!

 

Load to E Town went well. We aired it off. That went well. Quick Taco from the Bell and back to Cincy to preload a Mt. Sterling for this morning. It is a pump off.

The truck I am driving is a long wheelbase day cab Lone star, Which I think is a pretty cool truck. I will check in later!

 

We did our run to Mt. Sterling. Nice clean easy pump off. Nothing I was not used to hauling fuel. Only real difference was couldn't just pop the vr cap to vent trailer. I think at this point, we will train Monday and Tuesday and then head up to company hq for orientation.

My trainer said the only real thing I need to work on was the order of things I do when dropping trailers just to make sure I do not miss things on post trips.

 

This week we hauled Methanol, salt water, oil for coating steel, and toulene.
