Your Very Energetic Mike stay Safe & have a super day or night hauling the precious juice !!! Have you ever watched any of the Mad Max Movies starring Mel Gibson

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Yes I have good movies

I really enjoyed the loading rack part of the video it reminds me of back in the 80s when i hauled gas. I know there have been changes since then but it still is about the way i did it to. The deal with the stop not holding all of the load happen a lot when i was driving .The only difference was the company i hauled for had several stores in the same area and we could take what didn't fit to another store and drop it . Your videos bring back a lot of good memories of my days of hauling gas it was a lot of fun but its also a dangerous job that most people don't realize not only the driving but the hauling and loading of the product. Really enjoy your videos

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

You are absolutely right about it being dangerous... it brings me joy to know that you enjoy the videos and it can bring back memories for you...

[@rodneystewart8958]

I don't know how I can haul gas all day and then watch you do it I am crazy

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Lol you not crazy

[@Crooze88]

Sweet... I'm trying to get into fuel hauling in the Shreveport area. I've put in 6 apps already. Going with whoever calls first. Hopefully, gemini or pilot for the hourly pay.

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Good luck on your endeavors

One of the tools I keep handy when delivering in crazy areas is keeping a screwdriver handy makes a great weapon if that doesn't work my ruger lcp max with 12 rounds of hollow points is better when night I stand by the trl tandems so no one can crawl under

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Oh yeah that a good tool... and the crawling under trailer never thought of that...

[@BringBackMasculinity1987]

It seems like alot of these stores been over ordering fuel lately. We also been dealing with this Crap for the last two weeks.

No hard Hat in the Terminal, No buckets, No FRE clothing? Yes your quick and comfortable but your working with fuel in one of the most dangerous occupations! As our Safety Manager said, "short cuts work until they don't! Be Safe!

At this terminal we don't have to have a one thing you mentioned... things are not the same of where you are from compared to other placees

[@geneharden9265]

I sometimes don't leave comments. The reason why is because someone is always using everyone platform to scam people. But I do enjoy your videos. Rusty sounds great. Now do they have to still pay for that fuel they ordered when there tanks too just 1/2 of it. Be safe out there can't wait for the nxt one.

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Yes they still pay for It we just deliver it to another one of there stores...

[@WalkDK]

I enjoyed this video. Interesting to see how it's done elsewhere. I deliver fuel in Denmark. I have a video about that on my channel.

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Gonna have to check it out

@Life On 18 Wheels my pleasure, I'm trying to get into hauling fuel when I came across your channel and I really like your flow of how you hook up an unhook

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Thank you

[@bigtruknut]

Interesting video. In MD, DC and VA, you are not supposed to be but so many feet away from the discharge valves when unloading for immediate shutoff in the event of overfill or spillage. Common practice was to use a station tank chart when sticking the tanks to ensure the product will fit. If it won't fit, you don't drop the compartment that won't fit that way you know how much you loaded in it and the station won't be charged for the gas that wouldn't fit. Also, does your trailer have a compartment with a double bulkhead for loading diesel on a gas load. In my experience the last compartment had a double bulkhead so the diesel wouldn't heat up the gasoline next to it and cause it to Ignite. In my experience the old Mobil stations had a veeder-root tank monitoring system and we could call the station, get the tank readings to ensure what they ordered would fit or alter any product that wouldn't fit by 200 gals and add that amount to the other products. Most loads would be 8500 to 8800 gals of gas or 7500 gals of diesel or jp4.

Good morning, l wonder if you can make a video for the loading computer at the loading facility it will de helpfull for me.Thank yiu.

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

I would have to ask

[@Ivansgarage]

You really need to pay attention to what gas your putting in what hole, nope, ain't gonna let you live that down, yet.... lol

I done made my peace with it...

[@bulldogtaxi]

Brother where is the vapor recovery line

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

In louisiana it is not required in rural areas

[@olhickory6420]

Your going to get whiffs of gas and diesel even with vapor hoses so screw them good whiffs occasionally ain't gonna hurt you.

[@raymondbradley6788]

Michael, I would call that turning and burning. You don’t mess around. You keep the left door shut and get down the road. Stupid question time, what are you measuring when you stick the tanks? Is that the difference between before and after? Must be but I’m not sure I never really asked you to just now.

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Measuring the inches in the tanks so I can get a accurate reading of what's is in them

[@WardWilliams85]

What’s a average day as far as hours 10 to 12 hours a day??

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

It varies depending on how many.loads you have... I would say 12 but could be 14 to 16 back down to 10 or 8... but I would say 12 average

[@michaelberry8091]

What is the long bar that is above your load/unload caps that u lift up and push back down? Some kind of safety bar so valves can’t open while u driving?

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Yea it is a safety / break bar.... when I lift it.. it opens up all the vents on trailer and sets the breaks on trailer and when I put it down it closes everything off and realeases breaks.... if that bar ain't down that truck ain't moving...

[@michaelberry8091]

@@Life-On-18-Wheels so is it an emergency brake separate from the air brakes u set from the tractor?

[@Life-On-18-Wheels]

Yea pretty much I don't usually set tthe breaks on the trailer while unloading..so the bar does it for me

[@sampson4685]

It's called a brake interlock. My trailer had interlock on the vent line hookups, too.

[@michaelberry8091]

@@sampson4685 ok, i get it now. I was a freight hauler all my life so pulling yellow air brake button set all the brakes
