    Hey guys,
    I got a new job delivering oil.
    33 foot van trailer with oil totes i put inside .. not too heavy of a load .. not sure of actual weights of totes yet.

    I dont know a ton about tire pressures but I put steers at 105 and back ones at 100..

    this sound good for the loads i haul... ?

    Sounds good, any more steers will beat the Truck up. As an old Boss of mine once said, after I filled his tires on his Cadillac to the max,What good is a little more wear and fuel mileage if my car rattles to pieces meanwhile. Lol Good point,I won’t repeat what he said when I accidentally filled his Caddy with Diesel, Lol Good Times !!!

    275 gallon totes should be about 1900 lbs.
    330 gallon totes should be about 2300 lbs.

    Oil weight per gallon can vary a little (7.2 - 7.4 lbs/gal)

    Of course, you have your tanker endorsement.
