I love you for this! I'm a 24 year old female truck driver. Ive wanted to get into fuel hauling since I've started this career. Makes me so happy to see you out there doing it!❤
This is excellent. I just got my Class A , I'm going to get some experience with a freight company that takes new drivers. But ultimately I hope to land a tanker job and this video helped me learn alot.✌🏼
I work as a fleet technician, anytime I have to receive a fuel delivery, I am always intrigued by fuel tankers. The drivers always seem relatively happy as well. I have my Class A, tankers and hazmat as well. I hauled product for a pool chemical company. I really enjoyed the work. Thanks for all the great information!
im jely, looking to start with tanker work and i cant find a company that hires new graduates in PA. Schneider is the only one i know and they dont even have openings. idk someting about fuel delivery i find it interesting. awwell i guess dry van it is.
Fuel delivery is very exciting, and also very hard work😅 there are pros and cons to any job, but keep in mind once you get a little experience under your belt your options will open way up!
Thank you for the video. I hope that you will explain to us when you have time how to fill the tanks for gas stations and how you use mathematics to calculate the required quantity to empty them as well as how to fill out the order papers. Thank you
Very interesting !! I've been driving a chemical tanker for 42 years, been awhile ! Great to see how young and knowledgeable you are. Good luck, aways think first, and be careful !!! PS, I was wondering where your snow shovel was since you're in Maine...lol. Take care.
Awesome video. I guess we 3 needs find it interesting seeing how it's set up. Hey let me ask you a question. I'm my work life this company or should I say these company's I've worked for in the last 6 years ( all though it's been the same company just a new name for 6 years but any way) these folks think it's a good idea to combine a hand held eld or elb ( electronic log book) with our parcel scanner. This piece of garbage is ruining my life. In your work life are there any devices that makes your job harder for no reason?
That's an old tank. The manifold setup is not used much anymore. No Carriers actually use this old style anymore. Those that do just have one or two left and simply waiting to replace them with newer units. The odds of cross contamination during loading and off loading just far out ways the benefits of manifolded tankers. The only benefit is quicker off loading and that's only if the load is solid or one product. It takes only a few seconds to switch compartments so you're not really saving any time. You can't load them with the manifolds open so there's absolutely no benefit there because the smaller compartments will probe before the large compartments are filled. I commend you though because it takes a skilled and attention to detail gas hauler to consistently work a manifolded tanker successfully. Good video.
Gloves are the biggest pain as a female in the Industry! I actually stuff my men's large gloves with smaller cotton gloves to help them stay tighter on my hands!
Wow, nice! Fellow 20 year old garbage truck driver here. Just appreciate all the work you tanker drivers do to adhere to all the nonsense and BS that goes day in and day out. I live in Cali and always hear how it's the most anti-trucker state and the drivers here are the most stupid and clueless. Here, it's very common for the tankers to have either the regular two axle 48 ft. tanker and the loading heads are sharing the same loading manifold if I'm explaining the right since I've seen it and they're not like from described above as your video. If not that, it's really common for a regular straight tanker truck to be carrying a trailer with a converter dolly which is very common. More common actually than the first option I mentioned.
In Michigan almost everyone runs 8axle trailers of 11,000 gallons. Some pull duel axles trailers for small stations. The guys pulling 8axles are grossing over 130,000lbs.
I'd bet that an 80,000 lb load is normal for 2 axle trailers and more like 100,000 lbs for tri-axle ones like Hailey's. Weight limits vary by state in the USA. If I remember correctly from my visit to Michigan, they simply limit the load per axle, but not the number of axles per trailer. Michigan's interstate highways and probably smaller roads, suffer because of this oversight in regulating trailer weights. Fixing the problem would require quite a period of grandfathering the more than two or three axle trailers.
In my state with our tri-axle trailers we are aloud up to 100,000lb and we try to fill the trucks as often as possible to optimize our trips, see we usually weigh between 90,000-100,000lb when loaded
You would be wrong! At the time that I posted this video I was driving a 13speed manual Western Star 49x. Be careful what you go assuming about people🤷♀️

u should get into it tomorrow will be my first day
This is by far the best video on tankers that I’ve seen on UA-cam. Thank you 👌🏽

Just got my Hazmat endorsement this week. Supposed to start hauling fuel Monday, great video
I have a few friends who haul fuel and heating oil. Lot's more to it than most people know. Nice video
I work at the terminals on the Environmental side and am really new to tank farms. This was very good. I want to learn as much as I can.

Well done video!

PS, I was wondering where your snow shovel was since you're in Maine...lol. Take care.
I did mention in passing that our snow shovel is in on of the side boxes, I just didn't actually show it lol
@@thedailywithhaleigh
I knew you had one, I was just waiting for you to show it. And yes I heard you say that too.
Lol
I'm also a fuel tanker driver in my island looking at your video really interesting for movie over.
Woe box's on both sides great job I drove gas diesel for 13 years I see u are heavy hauler
Always want to know how things work and what does what. You've satisfied my curiosity about your tanker trailer Hailey, thanks!
I'm getting my license and going to get my hazmat license so I can do the same thing. So excited... Any tips?

Does that meter run off a PTO or gravity driven by the fuel?
What about the yellow 🟡 color pigtail going to the trailer?

How many feet long is that fuel hauler?
What gloves do you wear? I run propane and can only find mens large and they’re huge.

Thank you for the education. Where can I get my hazmat to work for I think company thank you.
What made you decide to pull fuel? I’ve been on the road 30 years now. With all the morons around I never put anything thought into gasoline
Is there a meter on the truck that shows how much has been delivered on the station
There is, but when delivering it's always easiest if you can deliver a whole compartment at a time to eliminate the need to meter.
Good information to have
Nice video
Did that company train U ? OR you had to do OTR EXPERIENCE FIRST?
Did you have to spend time otr before you become a fuel tanker driver? If so, for how long?

Gas yes trucking
where are you at ?
More videos please just ins and out like this one is what I'd like to see thanks 👍
hi congratulations from Panama city Panama 🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦 you are very beautifull 👋👋👋👋
Why did you leave this company?
How much does a full load of gasoline weigh? What is your gross weight then? I see mostly fuel tankers around here with just 2 trailer axles. Thanks!

Trucking what

I’m willing to bet that her truck is an automatic?🎃
That's much better and safer.
