    By far the most skilled, realistic, fuel hauler on UA-cam. I know I have been trucking all my life. It's not about me this comment. I'm giving respect where it is earned. So many negative, unrealistic, odd, cocky, automatic driving idiots on here it's hard to watch. Your channel is going to get as good as it can for this subject, skill, topic. DRIVERS TAKE NOTE. You keep your equipment clean, organized. You take pride in your work. You treat people the way the world should treat each other. You also put off the don't f with me vibe as well, perfect. You make hazmat look easy, and it is for the most part. Difference is you have confidence in your steps, same way every time. It's hazmat, it's fuel, no mistakes "people". This man has skills no joke. Also appreciate your love for animals, love for family! This channel should overtake any other trucking channel, my prediction! Appreciate you. I'll add for the rest of the world it doesn't matter what you drive. Take pride in it, keep clean if possible, it will take care of you. Same with life, equipment, office, house, whatever.

    That was a good lesson for all of us! When I first started I was delivering to a home heating oil tank and was told it would take 3,500 gallons and I didn't have to stick the tank. Yeah, I'm 62, it was a little while ago. So, I hooked up everything and set the meter on the pump and it was a windy raw day in NJ and I ducked behind a tree and waiting felt " mist" every now and then. Hmmm. I rubbed my face and it smelled like oil. Oh boy! I jumped on the other side of the tree and the fill looked like a fountain and the vent looked like a sprinkler and I ran to the truck and shut everything off and ran to the fill splashing through oil and slush. I called the office and they gave me the cleanup crew. "" Skip "" wanted to know "" How much ""? I said 100 gallons. Eventually? Skip caught up with me and said, ""100"? Try 700"! But, it's okay we fixed it and they didn't complain about it TOO MUCH. My Boss/ owners of the Co told me Don't ever let that happen again! Lesson learned.

      @Life-On-18-Wheels  11 днів тому +1

      I believe you are asking how do I know that I am unloading into the customers tank and not loading from the customers tank to my trailer.. answer is very simple.. they have no way for me to load from their tank to my trailer. Thus, I can only put products into their storage tank
