The rookie

Ok thanks for the confirmation and that’s exactly what I thought it was. They just just said you don’t wanna Scully out or it’s a 3 Day ban the first time but I got the context clues.

 

Day 3 went well also, I’m currently sitting at around 30 hours. Loading and unloading I feel confident I can do solo, outside of the loading screens, still Havent had that broken down Yet but I’m still green. So far loving the gig, which is funny cause Schneider called today didn’t get to answer and they didn’t leave a message but I’m sure I know what they want

 

Day 4: Went well but my trainer... He’s trying to teach as if I’m starting from day one with no tank experience at all. The one thing I don’t do is rush and he has developed this thing where he wants me to prove myself to him. The way they laid it out was a full week of just riding, before you even begin doing work. So day 2 was my first day out in The truck I was able to map out the whole unload while he was doing it. Second unload I was doing half the work when I wasn’t supposed to be touching anything week 1. Day 3 I was doing half the work and day 4 he said he wasn’t touching nothing. So I’m coming from doing 3 compartments myself on ecolab to him just saying hook up here and do this. Now the thing I understood was that it was his ### if things went wrong and that he wasn’t giving me the full picture. So we had a load of 1000 premium and 8000 reg and he loaded 3000 2000 1000p 1500 1500. Now leaving the rack I knew the regular wasn’t loaded to fill evenly. I didn’t know the station had two separate tanks until we got there. Now after dipping the tanks I already knew one was higher than the other and began unloading as instructed and he told me to switch to certain compartment, and he was upset that I didn’t ask why he had me do that. So because I don’t ask the same question that somebody who hasn’t done this for the last year would ask he thinks I’m not paying attention. We had a pump unload and for some reason because I’m never in the biggest of hurries he thinks I’m not paying attention. So during the unload the pump were at this place where no body knows the actual tank size. There’s no chart and the only instruction says under 2 feet 8000 will slide easy- under 2 and a half will slide hard... it was under 2 and we had 8000 but doing this type of work for a year you can never trust them gauges so we’re unloading the last compartment and the pump starts screaming. (Remember 1st pump unload I’m not supposed to be touching nothing) So instead of me leaping to shut stuff off I watched him do it and of course he just assumed I wasn’t paying attention.

So I think there’s a disconnect in what he thinks the new guy actually knows

 

Day 5: Had a different trainer entirely different approach. Had 3 stops. 2 of the loads he walked me through the loading screens at the the racks and it’s simple but complicated at the same time lol. 1st stop was a gas station and we dropped regular and premium (well he showed me how he did it) . 2nd stop was a pump at a construction site. Which he let me do and showed me different ways to vent the trailer. Process went pretty smoothly. And then our final stop was another gas station where we dropped premium and reg again. While unloading a lady hops out her car and says “is it true what they say? You not supposed to get gas while y’all doing that?” Then hops back in the car before we can answer and pulled off lol. Back to the yard and we were home in about an hour. Trainers words were “ Now I gotta go home and lie to everybody about how hard my day was at work” haha

 

Everybody has their own way of teaching and I respect that. Still dont know how to drain out. I’ve seen the hose for it but it hasn’t been explained.
