    we put the chocks on the right rear so you had to go to that side before you left the aircraft. it made sure you were still clear. single point beats the hell out of over-wing.

    Danny your 2nd rear plate might be an NYS PC plate or NJ XAA A10-XZZ Z99 in addition to the standard Port Authority Plate. Seen this on a Gategourmet Truck on I-95 NJ Turnpike by Exits 68-69 US-46 and I-80. Licencing it is better to get Class B with X endorsement or Class A with X endorsement. I saw one on a 0:30 gategourmet truck he had a Port Authority plate and a NJ XAA A10-ZZZ Z99 plate 1 month ago on RT-21

      After the pandemic when ppl was allowed to go back to work some driver didn’t want to come back so they bumped the salary from the high teens to $26.25-$27. That’s where it’s been since then. Benefits is good not great.

      @@DannyLa1980 thanks for giving us specific figures. I don't think the work is all that difficult, but the hoops you have to jump thru to qualify are extensive.
      In addition to your basic Class A CDL you need a X = hazmat endorsement, as well as a tanker endorsement. A hazmat endorsement is basically a safety clearance that needs to be renewed every five years. Add to that the same thing for the FAA to work in an airport environment and for aircraft access.
      And finally, you need to pass a test for driving on an airport tarmac. All together, the $30/hr offered at a local airport to work for a global aircraft fueler on Indeed seemed like chicken feed.

    Do the pilots set how much fuel that will be taken on or do you set the amount?

    • @DannyLa1980
      @DannyLa1980  Před 4 měsíci +1

      The final decision as to how much fuel should be carried for a flight is always the responsibility of the Captain of the aircraft.

    Please explain how the deadman works.

    • @DannyLa1980
      @DannyLa1980  Před 4 měsíci +1

      In various contexts, a "deadman" refers to different mechanisms or devices. One common usage is in the context of a deadman switch, which is a safety feature used in machinery or transportation systems. It's designed to activate when the operator becomes incapacitated or releases control, halting the operation to prevent accidents.
