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.

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.

    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!

    • @andylash9673
      @andylash9673 Před 23 dny

      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.

  • @stephenbrightstar286

    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.

  • @vernondeadmond740
    @vernondeadmond740 Před 2 lety

    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.

    Oil haulers never bother thiefing tanks. Just get samples as they're pulling 99% of the time.

    • @justinthejerkoff
      @justinthejerkoff Před rokem

      @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.

    @ericcasarez1003 Před 3 lety

    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.

    • @hectorguajardo470
