we put the chocks on the right rear so you had to go to that side before you left the aircraft. it made sure you were still clear. single point beats the hell out of over-wing.
Looks like a chill job. I joined the army reserves as a petroleum supply specialist and am looking to get a job as a fueler at an airport once I am done training. Wondering what the career progression looks like for this job
Danny your 2nd rear plate might be an NYS PC plate or NJ XAA A10-XZZ Z99 in addition to the standard Port Authority Plate. Seen this on a Gategourmet Truck on I-95 NJ Turnpike by Exits 68-69 US-46 and I-80. Licencing it is better to get Class B with X endorsement or Class A with X endorsement. I saw one on a 0:30 gategourmet truck he had a Port Authority plate and a NJ XAA A10-ZZZ Z99 plate 1 month ago on RT-21
@@DmdMixZ You know this , and I know this , but there are a lot of misguided people who are really convinced it is going on , on a massive scale . Good to explain this to them , once and a while .
@@aredhaired Yeah that's true. I always wondered how they all think that a "select few" is unable to hide their new world order masterplan but an industry with millions of employees from all kinds of backgrounds is easily able to not leak anything about chemtrails 😂
After the pandemic when ppl was allowed to go back to work some driver didn’t want to come back so they bumped the salary from the high teens to $26.25-$27. That’s where it’s been since then. Benefits is good not great.
@@DannyLa1980 thanks for giving us specific figures. I don't think the work is all that difficult, but the hoops you have to jump thru to qualify are extensive. In addition to your basic Class A CDL you need a X = hazmat endorsement, as well as a tanker endorsement. A hazmat endorsement is basically a safety clearance that needs to be renewed every five years. Add to that the same thing for the FAA to work in an airport environment and for aircraft access. And finally, you need to pass a test for driving on an airport tarmac. All together, the $30/hr offered at a local airport to work for a global aircraft fueler on Indeed seemed like chicken feed.
How do you do your fuel checks. IE DAND samples/Clear and bright/Conductivity/Hydrokit Exxon tube tests/ Free water tests. Thats what i want to know, do you grab your fuel samples from the front drain/rear drain/ top of truck/ hose
@@DannyLa1980 thanks! i work at an airfield and been questioning if we have been doing it right. The front has the product filter, and the back is straight from the tank
In various contexts, a "deadman" refers to different mechanisms or devices. One common usage is in the context of a deadman switch, which is a safety feature used in machinery or transportation systems. It's designed to activate when the operator becomes incapacitated or releases control, halting the operation to prevent accidents.
Its like the lever on a gas pump! You hold it down,fuel flows,let go it stops hopefully! Just a hand held version,so you can walk and check gauges,leaks!Hope that helps?@@nowacurmudgeon
Currently getting my CDL but definitely don’t want an OTR job since I’m a father to a newborn. I’m assuming hazmat and tanker endorsements are needed for this type of job?
That's funny. Out here at GSO, they just throw you in the truck and tell you to drive. I'm with Signature though so not sure if it's just FBO based protocol. Would be nice to have an official CDL though.
Right. They can't see you when the vest is unzipped. Non vest is more of a security concern than safety. I get it though, that's what THEY say so it must be.
Love this video, very detailed on how to fuel aircraft correctly. Good job!!!! 👍🏼

@@shelbynamels7948wdym by chicken feed lol. As in a bad or good way?
Hey pal-how come you didn't take the ground lead TO THE GROUND STAKE FIRST. Then ground to the aircraft ?
After all those years of doing it that way they discovered you don't need to. It's not required anymore.
@@richstewart1 How did they discover this?
@@davidsmiths5471 Don’t know. Just one day they came in and said we didn’t need to do it anymore. Now it’s just truck to aircraft.
All right Danny
How do you do your fuel checks.
IE DAND samples/Clear and bright/Conductivity/Hydrokit Exxon tube tests/ Free water tests.
Thats what i want to know, do you grab your fuel samples from the front drain/rear drain/ top of truck/ hose
Front and back.
@@DannyLa1980 thanks! i work at an airfield and been questioning if we have been doing it right. The front has the product filter, and the back is straight from the tank
Hey Danny, couple of questions: Allied or Swissport, do you guys get PPE/uniform
gloves etc. And what was your lowest/highest hours in a week. TY!
@@adamsatoms39165 Yes! they supply all the PPE you want. Lowest 40hr-highest as much as you can handle.
Interesting that you are using a tanker truck to perform the operation when you almost parked on top of a hydrant outlet.
This airport is in the works of laying the pipes in for hydrant.
How do you hook up the hose to the plane??
Do the company hire drivers with less than 6 months experience that got both hazmat n tanker endorsements?
@@IndoorPro-pg5ko yes
What are the hours like? Is there alot of Overtime?
They got 2 shifts, morning and afternoon. At the moment the company has lose their biggest contract (America Airline). So they had a bunch of layoffs.
@DannyLa1980 Thanks I have a interview with swissport this week for the same position it's at la guardia
Please explain how the deadman works.
In various contexts, a "deadman" refers to different mechanisms or devices. One common usage is in the context of a deadman switch, which is a safety feature used in machinery or transportation systems. It's designed to activate when the operator becomes incapacitated or releases control, halting the operation to prevent accidents.
@@DannyLa1980 I know the context. Just wanted to know how this one works.
Its like the lever on a gas pump! You hold it down,fuel flows,let go it stops hopefully! Just a hand held version,so you can walk and check gauges,leaks!Hope that helps?@@nowacurmudgeon
@@davidsmiths5471 yes, thanks.
@@nowacurmudgeon No problem!
How does the luggage’s not move under the plane do they tie it up?
Cargo nets. But that's a question for Rampy / Bag Smasher / Ramp Service video
cool
Hey do you know what shifts swissport had at LGA? Do they have 2 or 3 shifts?
I didn’t work for Swissport but I’m assuming it would be the same as Allied. Morning, afternoon, & overnight.
I work in Cleveland as a fueler 😂 this equipment is not in the best shape
Soo after refill the aircraft, do you need to bring the truck to gas statiom to refill it?
@@HafizShamsuri The only time you go back to the fuel farm is when you truck is empty.
Currently getting my CDL but definitely don’t want an OTR job since I’m a father to a newborn. I’m assuming hazmat and tanker endorsements are needed for this type of job?
Yes it is. But when I started they allowed me 3 months to get it.
That's funny. Out here at GSO, they just throw you in the truck and tell you to drive. I'm with Signature though so not sure if it's just FBO based protocol. Would be nice to have an official CDL though.
Is it hard to get a job in that. I'm already a semi driver but what a change
Not at all. Easy to get in. I can help you.
@@DannyLa1980 what do you need to do
Do you have Instagram?
@@DannyLa1980 yes do you
@@chrisoo8998 yes. @down2munch. Message me on there and I can give you more details.
Do the pilots set how much fuel that will be taken on or do you set the amount?
The final decision as to how much fuel should be carried for a flight is always the responsibility of the Captain of the aircraft.
hi is there any vacancy for fueling of aircrafts
They’re always hiring.
@@DannyLa1980 A hazmat/tanker endorsement is worth more than 27 an hour. Not surprising nobody is staying.
@@shelbynamels7948where ?
Very good instructional video, Elon musk approved
Four examples of unsafe behavior. One guy without a safety vest, and three guys with vest unzipped!
Shut up karen and hold your mask tight to your airhole! It'll be over soon
Right. They can't see you when the vest is unzipped. Non vest is more of a security concern than safety. I get it though, that's what THEY say so it must be.
I found the safety guy 😂
How did we ever survive b4 safety vests amazing humanity is still here

Do you need a class A
