I haul crude oil in Wyoming and it's really great to be able to see what other tanker yankers have to do. What a time to be alive. Thanks for making this video! Stay safe
Good video. Like the way you tape down the ears on your cam locks. One fine point to consider: If it’s cold out and you’re blowing off something that freezes easily, opening your internal first could allow the product to freeze up in the line between your internal and your pancake valve. Used to haul tanker in Canada. Learned about this one the hard way.
@@tanknation1000 👍Little trick with cam lock fittings-you know how they can get a little sloppy and not draw down securely. I’d carry thin, soft metal shims with me, cut narrow enough to fit into the slot behind the can. Push it in until it rides up over the groove in the male fitting, then push the cam closed. Slop gone. Strips cut out of the side of a soda can work well. Keep on keepin on.
Thank you Much for the video, It was very informative and helpful. U can use whip checks, for your pressurized hose connections. They nylon and wire They are both a pain in the ass. But can save you from a big head ache. Do u pefer a trailer Compressor, verus tractor??

Can you show how and where the air hose is connected to at you truck.? Is it connected directly to your air tanks or are you using your glad hands.? Thanks

Do you hook up your bleeder valve? I’ve been taught to hook up a bleeder valve for sample or to relieve pressure towards the end to make sure there’s nothing in my line.
Absolutely True if You have the Valve on hand and it's in good condition. If I'm Airing Off a Product I wouldn't use it. The Plants I deliver to take the samples and I'm 97% No Touch Delivery, pretty much easy money.
Absolutely, Also Check & Double Check All Connections And Slowly Release Product Before Going Full Throttle. "Stay Safe! - Appreciate The Process!! - Make Money!!!"
And I was always told tankers should be pressurized at 25 psi at the most and even that is a lot of pressure especially if your filling open containers.
Each application or process is different depending on the Thickness or Viscosity and Temperature of Product being unloaded. Many times the Customer or Consignee will dictate the unloading pressure. I've being running or hauling 90% no touch including Drop/Hook for the last 4 years which is gravy "Easy Money!"
Nice man that’s what’s up I’m on the other end. I do the loading and unloading at a chemical plant from rails cars off the rail road and tankers to storage tanks and vice versa
I rarely have to unload but whenever I do I use a 2" or 3" Blow Down Fitting but usually the pressure will bleed down into the customer's tanks leaving very low pressure remaining which leads to easy, safe, and leak free uncoupling "More Gravy!!!"
This Particular Product Was Used To Treat Lumber At A Lumber Mill That I Delivered To & Many Others For Two Years. Nothing Special or Crazy Just Easy Work. I Usually Remove My Chemical Suit After All Hoses Are Connected & Leaks Checked & Prevented If Necessary Before I Film Anything & With Permission To Film Of Course. "Safety First - Be Great!!!"
When You Vent the Tank By Having An Opening Through Dome Lid, Washout Cap, or Whatever Other Means Available, You Are Conducting A Pump Off. At Least In All My Applications, "Be Great!!!"
@@tanknation1000 o ok, I'm looking to get chemical hoses, I used to drive for QC & MC Tank & I know the universal standard is 3" for like 90% of tanker loads, so what's the smaller standard that's used sometimes, I don't rememberc if it was 2" or an 1.5"?
Blow Out or Blow Down Valves are a luxury and not typically issued in the Tanker Industry but I do have a few and it wasn't needed in this particular application.
Perhaps you guys do it different then where your at. I work hazmat all acids and flammable solvents even the non haz diesel exhaust fluid. We always hook up a 3inch female to a 2 inch male w/ a Chicago ball valve. To relieve pressure. Or if you have to blow the line clear if there’s a leak. What do you do when your done how do you relieve your pressure when you dis-connect
First of all those tape around the dog ears are not the appropriate tie down Velcro straps and secondly you are missing a blown down on that 2 inch contraption.
You can use tape as well! One of the best safety appropriate companies (Schneider) recommends tape as they say Velcro loses its effectiveness over time. However, neither way is “wrong” or not “appropriate” as you put it and it’s all up to personal preference at the days end. Peace and love brother
Thank you Sir. (Apologies for not asking you for your “proper pronouns”, but I’m retired now and can speak the TRUTH 🫣 😆) I recently retired from a 30+ year career in the fire service. My last 12 years were spent as a battalion chief of a large East Coast department and our HazMat Unit and “Robotics Unit” (aka “UAS / Drone Situational Awareness”) under my command. Your “real world” videos with full explanation of most of the critical aspects of hazardous materials transport…. Truly OUTSTANDING !

Peace Brother Thanks for the video. Well explained. I am studying for my HazMat now and will be taking my test in 2 weeks.
Nice, looking forward to meeting You out on the road, "Be Great!!!"
@@tanknation1000 Was the learning curve tough once you switch to hauling tankers? Also, I have a few companies in mind here in Houston.
Not at all, the only concern was learning the surge movements.
That was great
Damn good tutorial, sir.
"Many Thanks!!!"
Appreciate the video
Thanks For The Support!!!
Appreciate your video
Glad We Could Help, I'm Still Learning As I Go.

Thank you
Much for the video,
It was very informative and helpful.
U can use whip checks, for your pressurized hose connections.
They nylon and wire
They are both a pain in the ass.
But can save you from a big head ache.
Do u pefer a trailer
Compressor, verus tractor??
I've never used a Trailer Compressor setup before but anything would be better than using my Tractor Air. Many Thanks for Your Support, "Be Great!!!"

That check valve really is rare out there
In the process of obtaining my haz mat and tanker endorsements and getting away from dry van !!!
So am I driver. Time to get the heck away from dry van
Can you show how and where the air hose is connected to at you truck.? Is it connected directly to your air tanks or are you using your glad hands.? Thanks
Sure thing, I'll shoot another video this week explaining the Truck Air Supply Outlet.
Im new to tankers, ive pumped off numerous times but doing only my 2nd air off on Thursday so im a little nervous about it

@@tanknation1000 damn that’s nice man. I’m out here in Texas With Groendyke
Outstanding, I've seen the trucks out on the road but haven't heard anything about the Company as far as pay & working conditions.
Should this truck transfer be grounded? Also, what about a whip check for the air line and a pin?
You can ground if you wish but it was a non-flammable and if whip check and pin is available by all means apply them.
Can I use a glad hand hose to pump off my trailer?
Is That A Trick Question?? - LoL! (Compare The Two, One is A Hose and The Other is A Line.)
Do you wait for the air pressure to build up before you start the offload?
Absolutely, Also Check & Double Check All Connections And Slowly Release Product Before Going Full Throttle. "Stay Safe! - Appreciate The Process!! - Make Money!!!"
Not sound stupid by my hydra chem pump when I air off it keeps blowing my air line to my compressor any idea what’s going on. ?
I'll try to find out and get back with you, "Thanks!!!"
For your air source is that just your truck air or a whole new compressor you added
Truck Air
@@tanknation1000 thanks I watch your other videos I’m gone do the sane

Schneider makes us wear a green suit when unloading corrosives 😢

You didn't show how to turn the air on. And you didn't describe the christmas tree. Otherwise, excellent video.
Roger That, I'll go deeper into details and step by step in my future videos. "Many Thanks!!!"
thought air off meant dome lid open? so what term is used for unloading with the dome lid open?
When You Vent the Tank By Having An Opening Through Dome Lid, Washout Cap, or Whatever Other Means Available, You Are Conducting A Pump Off. At Least In All My Applications, "Be Great!!!"
@@tanknation1000 how many inches in diameter is the hose you're using in this video?
2"
@@tanknation1000 o ok, I'm looking to get chemical hoses, I used to drive for QC & MC Tank & I know the universal standard is 3" for like 90% of tanker loads, so what's the smaller standard that's used sometimes, I don't rememberc if it was 2" or an 1.5"?
2"
Your unloading a corrosive and no chem suit?
This particular Product is used to treat lumber and is not one of those kinda of corrosives, but great observation "Be Great!!!"
You are supposed to wear suit. I didnt either..but u my friend are supposed to be suited up
Where’s your blow out valve
