Zeviander, I have a few cheat codes for you on that pnumatic you're pulling.
1) Listen to the trailer, and it will "talk" to you. The sound of the air flow will tell you what is going on if you are on the wrong side to see your gauges.
2) Keep extra hose clamps, duct tape, and those rubber O-rings with you. Both 3 inch and 4 inch O rings because they might have a funky adapter where you unload. $20 worth of the above can save you half a day of trying to unload with a leak.
3) You will learn this one the hard way: When the pot is almost empty, especially the second one, be right on that vlave! If you get a little lazy (as I have) and allow the pot to go completely empty then you will lose your air and have to wait for the whole trailer to pressure up again.
Ty (haulhand) and I get paid by the load. That's how we learned this and I'd rather you learn it here than lose money as you go. (Like most of us have).
