    agreed. Jerry12 I did crude in ND -- breifly-- I was aware that drivers in addition to hauling crude have to do a series of tests before dispersing the crude into the tanker. Is it different in OK, NV? I spoke to a driver that said in TX they prohibit the driver from going to the catwalk on top of the tanks to conduct the crude density, gravity tests etc. Your input is appreciated.

    Ok, last update for this thread. Leave for Werner's orientation next Tues for orientation on Weds and Thurs. Thanks for the help everyone. I did find the "Little Trucker Guy" on utube and watched his stuff for a few hours. Will probably do something like he did along with my blog over at wordpress dot com.
