You do great work . At most racks that we load at the drivers have to attend a class and watch a safety video for that rack. How I wish they would hire you to update some of their videos. As a Driver Trainer I hate having to explain yes I know the video said to do it this way but they change policy 10 years ago and this is how they want it done now. There is lot more to hauling fuel than most people realize and most of it is all about safety. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask. Stay safe
Thank you, your critique is more than helpful. I wish I could do videos like this for a living, I really enjoy it. I have one more to do for Usher, Fuel Delivery to Trains, should be a good experience. You're right, there are a lot of safety regulations and you have to know quite a bit to do the job.
Ramone Kent It depends on where you live. Dupre' is where I started and they have a very good training program. If you're going to haul gas remember to always double check everything and stay focus because once you pull the lever it's to late. stay safe
nice video clears up how fuel truck fill up a gas station tank. curious if there is a video on how the gas station pumps are installed. This video was great for understanding the truck operation and equipment need to fill a gas station tank. Diesel is colored yellow cover in this case. Now kind of looking for how the fuel in the gas tank is pumped from the tank into cars. Is it an in tank fuel pump like car or is it outside in the panel box by the gas pump hose?
I always close the belly valve for each compartment after loading it, and don't open any belly valve until the hose is connected to that compartment and I'm ready to drop. also, why not stick the tanks first instead of getting the hoses and fittings on the ground and having to stumble over them as your measuring?
In Nevada you don't want to turn the content word to empty! If you get pull over and you had gas in one that said empty, you will get a ticket,due to vapors still in the compartment!
I'm sure there are a lot of things in this video that might not be the actual standard some of you use. This statement and any other questions about the procedures in this video should be directed to Usher Transport. I'm just a video producer and this is the information provided to me by Usher. Thank you so much for watching my videos and I wish I had more experience in the trucking and hauling industry so I could help field your questions and concerns.
You need to cap it once you pull the loading arm off to avoid confusion once you walked away . Also you need to make sure you have enough air in the truck system before entering the rack.
It's good when you don't have to deal with loads that'll fit, but when it does not? It's a big deal, paperwork, quantities, retains, all of that it is what makes the job difficult, and late for your next load, dispatchers should know when it's going to fit or not, I never had a spill, but was very close to it.
so this tanker had a tank with "unleaded plus" grade, I thought most only had regular and premium and the driver would put both into the stations tank to create mid-grade gas.
Plus or Mid-grade refers to Octane rating (though the specific rating varies by season and region of the country). The product is either stored in a separate tank/compartment and blended at the bulk fuel rack or - as is more often the case at a modern service station - blended on site at the fuel dispenser by a pre-programmed blend proportion. On site blending allows a station with three tanks to offer 3 grades of gasoline and (typically) diesel. The blend ratio set in each fuel dispenser is typically very close to 60% Regular Unleaded and 40% Premium Unleaded.
Are the stick gauges all the same because all the tanks are typically 10,000 gallon tanks of the same dimensions to the stick is usable that all stations?
Yes, all stick gauges are the same. They are square-sided yard sticks, but more like 4 yards, and they're measuring just inches, not gallons. There are charts in a notebook to convert the fuel depth to gallons (because the USTs, underground storage tanks, are shaped like horizontal cylinders, midway up the tank height, an inch converts to more gallons than narrower sections above and below).
There are major violations here in this video but most is accurate. No electronic devices allowed outside of your truck even if it is completely powered down. This guy has a headset in his ear along with other small details but a really big deal at ALL TERMINALS! If you are new and wanting to know the trade use this as a stepping stone but the guy that trains you should be a heck of a lot more real and experienced. Total years in the industry doesn't mean your right about everything its about how many years you've done it the right way.
He isn't at a terminal. And no electronic devices while delivering is a company policy not law and since this is a company safety video, I'd imagine he is following company policy.
I asked one of the guys at Usher and this is the reply: To make sure you don't have any hot tires brakes or bearings. Back in the early eighties I actually pulled into a station the wheel bearings failed and it burst into Flame right when I pulled in.
To clarify you are half correct. If one of the tires leaked some air out of during transport it could cause a fire since it would be extremely hot.But he gave you a bunch of hot air with the barring and brake checks. That comes from a office person no driver checks them outside of smelling to see if they are hot. Make sure to read my other posting towards the top of the page also.
"...Be careful, some product could spill out of the product hose.".. Well then maybe they/he should invest in some hose caps! -while he's walking off the hoses with no caps on them! And he needs to NOT throw the hose(s)!. Personally, he may want to drain those hoses at least one more time, if not two, as sometimes the pipes are still trickling product from the compartments and can leave product in the pipes and accumulate in the compartment little by little, gallons by gallons, leading to future issues at the loading rack.
I don't open all my internals prior to unloading. One wrong turn on a valve and everything is spilling out. Open internal for compartment to be unloaded right before opening valve. I do like to leave them open after unloading that compartment to make sure whatever trickles down in the plumbing isn't much. I do however open all intervals when loading. That way I can switch arms and run back to computer to plug in next load. On that thought.. this dude is slow. He wouldn't make a dime if he was load pay. I make 90k, average 10-11 hour days.
Hey man, I'm just the video producer, they had to approve all of the methods. I just did what I understood, never drove a truck in my life! Keep commenting, because they might see it and want to revise it. That means more money for me!
because the fumes are ignitible so you discharge first away from the fume source with a seperate ground/eart cable the ground in the pipe is for during the unloading proces
@@barse27 The tank is grounded (mostly by virtue of it being buried). Truck hoses contain series of metal braids to create electrical continuity to the tank - bonding in this case is more important than a separate ground. The ground is the carbon steel riser of the underground tank. In addition - tanks typically have a grounding field installed bonding and grounding the tank risers while the excavation is open at the time the fuel system is installed.
I also can tell this old timer NEVER worked for a MAJOR before. HUGE difference between the men that worked for the majors versus those that only worked for a carrier. Carrier drivers have a very SLOPPY routine that is unprofessional. Someone who works for a major doesn't waste steps, every step counts. I can go on, and on but I guess it's not to bad when your 78 yrs old out there still truckin.
I am probably half leroy's age..doubt it if I can put in half the effort that he has! He is a tough old guy....good for him... P.S: Ignore all negative comments...
Why does the man that's unloading the fuel have a Bluetooth ear piece in his ear while delivery? That's not safe because of the chance of it becoming an ignition source. Might want to edit those parts out. This is coming from almost 8.5 years of hauling fuel and learning what you can and can't do while loading and unloading fuel.
Well, being a professional dancer, I would expect this video to have been no help to you at all! If you ever plan to drive for a petroleum hauling company, this video might give you some insight! Sorry it wasn't for you, but I got paid good money to produce it. I am a professional video producer and this vodeo has no information value to my business as well.
Probably the best most thorough video I've seen yet. Fuel hauler, trucking 22 year's
Thank you for that nice comment! I am just the video producer and your comment tells me I did my job right! Thank you!
@@tbjimcollins your welcome
This is the best video out there that clearly and thoroughly explains how this fuel loading and unloading process works.
Thank you for the nice compliment. I'm not a truck driver, just a video producer and your compliment tells me we did a good job. Thanks again!
Прекрасно и четко, только что делать когда обнаружена вода?
This is another excellent loading/unloading video: czcams.com/video/XAlCMgpiJ9o/video.html
ive found this video very in formative I'm getting into tankers soon and me watching this video helped me understand the process better
actually the scully should be the first and the last thing you connect. Taking the caps off first is a violation at most terminals.
exactly but in offloading i don't see any fire exting n bonding cable
Word up!!!! Lifting that bar with out a ground can cause static electricity!!
Going for my road test tomorrow with local tanker company can’t wait!
How’d it go?
Saw him working at Dunkin’ Donuts, too many curbs hit, and following too close
Great video, I enjoyed hauling gas, I've been pulling a reefer as an Owner Operator and would love to get back in that kind of work here in Texas
Well done! Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for your welcome comment! I worked hard on this for Usher Transport all by myself!
Good work, Jim!
Thanks buddy, I appreciate that!

barse27 there is a small wire thats inside the product delivery hose that grounds the trailer to the gas fitting

Beautiful lookin trucks.
Really good video...
Well then... There's hope for me. I'm 64, and plan on driving after my current job.
First thing you're supposed to do is hook up the scully/ground cord before taking off covers.
I'm sure there are a lot of things in this video that might not be the actual standard some of you use. This statement and any other questions about the procedures in this video should be directed to Usher Transport. I'm just a video producer and this is the information provided to me by Usher. Thank you so much for watching my videos and I wish I had more experience in the trucking and hauling industry so I could help field your questions and concerns.
No, there is no scully connection at a gas station. Grounding occurs by the grounding wires embedded in the product and vapor hoses.
You need to cap it once you pull the loading arm off to avoid confusion once you walked away . Also you need to make sure you have enough air in the truck system before entering the rack.
I was thinking the same 👍
Yes always a good idea. Looks like his delivery was all Reg unld so must be why he didn't
@@34525314 ahhh true
Wow awesome 👏
Watching this guy unload hurts my back!
Shooting it hurt mine too!
Thanks for the info.

Where are the drip pans?
Basically what i am asking is is there a video out there that goes thru the installation of the gas station pump and tank itself?
+sam111880 There may be one like that, but I don't know of it nor have I ever produced one like that.
Good Information.
What’s the deal with putting the truck in neutral as opposed to park?
If old school can do it I kno I can get out there an run it up easy an safely 💯💰💰💰
The hazard light wasent on when he got out of the truck
I'm watching this in 2021 and just passed my dangerous goods! Ta.
so this tanker had a tank with "unleaded plus" grade, I thought most only had regular and premium and the driver would put both into the stations tank to create mid-grade gas.
Good question! I would refer that question to Usher Transport.

What precautions are used during delivery in the rain/snow?
Wear appropriate attire based on weather.
Very good information
I glad you found it helpful! Thank you!

This was 8 years ago. I wonder if the old timer has retired yet?
I'm surprised that trailer didn't have a safety bar over the drop heads.
what's the reason for checking your tires before unloading???
I asked one of the guys at Usher and this is the reply:
To make sure you don't have any hot tires brakes or bearings. Back in the early eighties I actually pulled into a station the wheel bearings failed and it burst into Flame right when I pulled in.

+Jean Clark Thank you for your observations!
you cant put caps on gas/petrol pipes cos in warm weather when you open the cam locks the bung comes out like a misile
Almost made me miss deliverying fuel. Did it for 8+1/4 years. lol
I bet Usher Transport is hiring!
I don't open all my internals prior to unloading. One wrong turn on a valve and everything is spilling out. Open internal for compartment to be unloaded right before opening valve.

That's very well said. My trainer taught me that. Good way to be efficient
Usher transport of Louisville KY they are good trucking apply now they are family owned
how old is this vid?
gauge stick?
should double check computer dumb a***
Our company requires to stick before and after each drop.
Nice. I know where to get free gas now
How much do they get paid an hour?
I'm not sure, but I would imagine it would be based on experience!?!?
not enough
and one more thing no earth/ground before delivering?static electricity

no safety clothes?

You are absolutely correct! He turns all power off before he exits the truck. Good catch!
I plan on hauling fuel. How can a Bluetooth headset ignite something?
It probably won't, but any electronic signal in close proximity to gas fumes could be a potential hazard.
tbjimcollins cool thanks.
good point no Bluetooth..... in the UK even no anti static clothing allowed for tanker drivers no Digi watches also
He gets paid dollars to do that.
Haaaa. Park in Neutral! Yeah... Let's see what happens to the driver if he's caught doing that in a Chevron loading facility. He'll get locked out!
thats what trailer lock out is for einstien!
No Stik the tanks
hauling gasoline it's a nice job I love it but it does not pay a damn thing
Oscar Morales if making 80k-100k with a lot of experience is not good then idk
worked for bp for 10 years made about 90,000 to 100,00 a year. great job
Oscar Morales Says you I make $100,000 year doing it
Oscar you are Mexican. Of course you won't make as much as an American driver.
How much they pay they drivers fuck all dat!
duh
I haul fuel over her in Australia, my take home every week is $2600
