A thorough pre-trip is the first step in a successful shift for any professional driver. Its one of the best practices to help ensure a safe, efficient, and successful day on the job. I cover some added equipment for crude oil transportation, but a lot of this information would apply to any DOT vehicle on the road today. Thank you for the attention.
CDL Speeding - reduction zones
zhlédnutí 564Před 5 lety
This seems like such a simple issue when I talked about it, people often laugh, but I've seen many drivers get tickets for this very reason. We're also seeing driver being stopped for inspections based on this topic. Pay attention, drive defensively, and keep yourself safe every day out on the road.

Driver Tips - Oil Testing Equipment

Overview of the crude oil testing equipment and inspection process.
Great video! I've been curious just how samples were taken and other aspects of the crude pick up process! I assume all the crude tanks in the battery are connected? So sampling one, single tank gives accurate results for the battery as a whole? Or am I mistaken, and this pick up is only from one tank of the battery? Thank you!
They are connected but you have to test each tank you’re going to load from. Usually that is only one tank at a time though.
This gives me Chris watts vibes for the tanks
Very well done video. I have hauled crude oil with my Dad. And uncle's, and grandfather, best years of my life!
To bad the fk back ground noise screwed up those whole job
Where's your ground?
@Andy Lash ???? Tell me this, why do they call it "buying the well" ? Where did that term come from?
What happens to the test if overheat the sampl? My chemical guy tests at 160f, and tests to 1.0bsw. Truck driver tests at 240f, and fails test 3.5 bsw.
Why isn't the hose connected to the trailer front?? Isn't a weak design?
I have learned a lot from you!!! Why have you stopped making these great videos???
Hey andy, please do have some book on petroleum products sampling and testing?
Great video. Glad you were able to brave the heat
Thank you for this great video. Quick question ... "What is the actual tank temperature?".
Thank you sir, this helped a lot
This looks like a piece of cake compared to all the BS I put up with flat bed.
I just got my hazmat what are the odds of someone with no hazmat experience. To haul crude oil, I have many years of driving just no hazmat.
ah man even with just one year experience many companies will take you and train you to do this crude oil stuff. its a cleaner job if your coming from doing vacuum, frac pump driver/operator or any other oilfield job that involves more labor.
Devon has kiosk that tells you how many barrels are tank , how much water on bottom . Temp . It's all been checked out and sold before you get there . All you have to do is gravity check it . They already know what it is. There's no surprises.
Hauling oil can earn a great living. As a company driver last year I earned 149k$ as a company driver
Which company if I may ask I'm looking into getting into hauling oil soon
@@Thebull92lots of crude companies in ND.
NAAAAA, TO MUCH SHIT
Hey you all I got a question...do you need to have HM endorsement in order to haul crude oil ?
Yes
Okay thanks for your time to respond thanks again
I’m a pumper and call in oil loads all the time. I never knew this is how they pulled oil.
Excellent video man. Tons of knowledge!
What about hauling gas?
Usually the pumper puts temps and gravity to shorten our time
I'm leaking water from the bunk ac
There is eletronic system for control temperature + quality crude oil? Tx
There is in 2022 automatic test oil wi fi internet? Tx
There is in 2022 automatic level control oil quality wi fi internet for fast simple misuration? Tx peace
Awesome, free fix. Thank you.
Thank you
That’s not the way it’s done by real haulers
I have been hauling crude oil for over ten years. After we hookup to the header we open the trailer up the start the pump to draw a vacuum on the load line then open the header valve to check the load line for leaks. I have had leaks in the load line before if you open the oil tank first you might have an oil spill if 5he load line is bad. After checking for leaks (You can hear the vacuum hissing in the load line) you open the tank slowly. Remember SAFETY FIRST.
You can hear that over Wyoming winds?
Is there a template that can be used to price haulage of crude by trucks?
Yesss!! New subscriber 👌
Damn hood video Sir!! You made it make sense!!
Why do Ad's run on this when you don't have enough subs to get Ad revenue?
No idea! I’m not really active on CZcams anymore. No time to film anymore.
@@andylash9673 Well, someone is making money off your work
This completely differant then how it's done in west texas. Feel sorry for the drivers having to do all of this. It's best in the west I guess
Also before even climbing the tank. Double check that it is infact shut out from production. Pumpers get really lazy sometimes. Lol
Crude hauling requires Hazmat?
Yes it does.
great video
Oil haulers never bother thiefing tanks. Just get samples as they're pulling 99% of the time.
@David Stevens it's not easy to include sampling ports on or in the tanks. They will plug up with paraffin and other debris and add an additional point of failure for the tank. We've been using a thief for over a hundred years because that's the best way to do it. Oil haulers are supposed to be doing it and the only reason they don't is pure laziness.
I see no lies!
until it gets to the point of rejection. then they have to offload. Not fun
Then you get out to Eagleford and 95% of the operating companies have a zero tolerance for climbing up on the catwalk and gauging or thieving the tanks. Our Mission Petroleum trucks had to be set up with a sample arm that comes out of our 3" load line (the iron nipple) under the frame of our truck. Essentially we are not allowed now to use a gauge line or a thief. We catch samples from truck loading and we drop our hydrometers in a graduated cylinder and tank level data is directly from an automated system. Crazy but all the new guys in the oilfields have never seen a gauge line even the water haulers don't believe me when I tell them we worked tanks from the top.
That is correct now all testing is done as it is pumped to truck and samples at 5 20 and 80 bbls
Who the fook uses a wood back
O really ?? What's up ?!?
and he opened hatch to fast too if there's air in the tank a greater risk of explosion static electricity and did not check sock for which direction wind blowing and its to sunny day to pull oil wait for lightning to pull oil and 1 inch of rain per 30mins for the whole shift 12-14 hour shift. and loading point no strap on around ears clamps I've seen many drivers spill oil cause it came loose at loading point many mistakes there's many more can't mention them all bucket under pump
First tip: get rid of that thief 😂
Where can i buy a sampler like these?
Am I hired now, 20 yrs safe driving?
tom mccray we’re not running crude any more. You could look at Jobs.Loves.com for some refined transport jobs.
Totally miss this... 10 years of crude, 6 mo. Sand Hauler, last 3 yrs Acid! Crude was nice just for the fact the white pickup wasn't always there!
Which of the three would you recommend? I've need doing sand for 6 years but want to make a Change. Not sure though on which to pick lol
hola, hola, que tal como están, como les va...el vídeo me parece muy interesante y el modo de explicar los pasos para la correcta medición y la toma de muestra con centrifuga y el archivo de muestra es muy apreciativo...saludos
I hualed 2 years..what's a woodback?oh yeah theres a white pickup there🤣
