This is the third video I've watched about how to run a Pneumatic, and this time now I'm finally confident I understand everything. Very well explained, OP, you did a fantastic job at teaching. I very much appreciate your video.
Excellent video. You are clear, well trained and you know how the tank works. Nice video. Just one tip, use a wire or rope to tie up the blower hose, because the camlocks can open due to vibrations and gravity, releasing the hose and the connector end can hit you.
I've done pneumatic cement jobs and I find this video very helpful to those who are getting into this business. I worked for Riverside Concrete and it was a hell of experience for me. I've learned so much but I ended up quitting due to lack of equipment. Sand trailers way better than Cement especially when you get clogged! It gets dirty and you'll have to clean all your lines before restarting the process of unloading. Thank you sir for such video. Be safe
Thanks a lot for doing this. I'm building a model train layout, when finished it will be modeled after a small industry with just a locomotive or two. No reason to build a large bulk sand storage area when you have extra trailers on hand. Are these trailers built so that when they are full can they be dropped and be off loaded when needed or should a tractor or maybe a two axle dolly be used to support the front end? The trailer will be dropped near the shop building with a pressurized air line near by which will pressurize the trailer and off load to a storage bin located above the the rail. From there it will be be gravity fed down to the locomotive.
Hey bud, great video! Do you know of any Pneumatic Tankers that service Maine and Vermont? I have a client who is starting a big project up there and am looking for carriers. Be safe out there!
Correct, I didn’t have DOT tape. These were new pneumatic trailers and I believe I drove like that for about a year and a half. And I didn’t have any issue with it but during that time I probably went into the DOT inspection station once and they let me right through. Something about West Texas there’s so much Oilfield traffic they look at other stuff trucks that don’t operate correctly, and for some reason I think DOT didn’t see it as a big issue. It was not until I got my own trailer that I bought DOT tape and I will make sure that it was 50-50 all the way across the fenders and the trailer. Thanks for the question.
Yes you can set your automatic up with the same equipment. The blower and PTO. I paid about 8500 blower and PTO installed through finance. If you want to get into this work with just pulling a trailer, you should look at Haliburton Sand Box. I also have a blower and PTO that I can sell. I drive over the road now and have no need for it.
Blower start: 1. With vehicle running and parking brake on. engage the clutch. 2. Put it in gear. (1st or reverse) 3. Engage PTO. (It can be a switch on your dash or floor board next to your seat) 4. Put back into neutral. 5. Slowly release clutch. 6. Blower should be running after you release the clutch. 7. When your hoses are connected outside and to your blower you can increase RPMs.
@@shbt8875 depends, had a Cummins with a 13 speed auto with it step on brake , place in drive, engage PTO, shift back to neutral, release brake. New truck is a Paccar with it I just flip the PTO switch.
@@shbt8875 I have never used an automatic but the procedure is similar. Vehicle in gear with parking brake reverse or drive. Press on foot brake and engage PTO switch. Release the foot brake and the gears in the PTO and transmission will engage the blower drive shift. Rev up engine to 900 to 1100 hundred RPM
There are different types of auto transmission. Ultra shift which works like a regular standard and automatic transmission like a regular car. So putting it neutral might differ. If the truck wants to move forward then you need to go back into neutral after engaging the PTO
Usually you can go out and learn from the guys working along side you on they're trucks. It should take about a day or three runs before you get comfortable with the basics. All I mention in the video is just to get an understanding of the tanker.
I've hauled a lot of sand this guy really knows what the hell he's talking to mine explains it awesome simple and to-the-point good job bro
Very well explained . I am starting a new driving job doing dry bulk and now I have a pretty good idea of what to expect and how things work. Thanks!

Very informative! This video is helping me to decide to drive tankers.

Thank you
The best explanation I found on internet 👍
Very useful video appreciate it brother
Thanks for the refresher its been years for me
God bless your heart Sr. Thank you.
Going to work in west Texas for a company that uses Pneumatic trailers. Very helpful.
What company?
Looking at 3N.
Thanks a million for your video! Very helpful!
Great video of explaining it..
Great explanation,thank you.
Thanks for the video I'm learning as i go
Bro!! Amazing explanation. 👍🏽
Recently started dry bulk, but my trainer didn’t explain the aeration lever. Thanks for clarifying
What the name of your comapy
very good explanation, thank you
Great video
I LIKE HIS SAFETY BOOTS
Great video brother
Good one..
Thanks, very good explanation
It was helpful bro🤘🤘🤘
This would be a good video but I just wish he was walking us through what/why he's doing

I see you don’t have dot tape on fenders, his that correct?

Can I do this with my Automatic frightliner??

@@carlosmartinezjr12 bradley.337harris@gmail.com email me let’s talk
You need a 5-foot ER😂 homie
The blower doesn't need to be warmed up because it already starts warming up
p.s. my blower heats up after I turn it on
Hey are you still working and the oil field
No I’m driving over the road now.
How u turn the blower on
Blower start:
1. With vehicle running and parking brake on. engage the clutch.
2. Put it in gear. (1st or reverse)
3. Engage PTO. (It can be a switch on your dash or floor board next to your seat)

5. Slowly release clutch.
6. Blower should be running after you release the clutch.
7. When your hoses are connected outside and to your blower you can increase RPMs.
Carlos Martinez what if your in automatic truck and don’t have a clutch, how do you turn the blower on then?

Hey bro tell him what it's like to unclog a 20-foot hose full of sand😂
7:51 what was that that sound
I don't know but I'm laughing
@@carlosmartinezjr12 hahhaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅 max speed but I set it at 1200
What the name of your company
This company is Rickman transport out of Springtown Tx. I no longer work with them but I have been hearing they are doing good.
Tht right
😅
How many lbs of sand do you carry? And what kind of sand ?
Hey Jerry, usually it's near 48,000 lbs. The sand can vary from 100mesh, 40/70 grain sand.
I used to haul a 5axel with dry cement.
Is it specialty sand for manufacturing or something?
Im just wondering what industry it’s for ?
Complicated. Sound like need to take course how to operate them
