How To Deal With Tanker Surge

[@georgecook1374]

great vid that actually shows the surge. gives me a great understanding as to what I may get myself into driving tanker. thank you very much

[@SweetestGapeach1127]

I definitely have a greater respect for y’all after seeing this.. and I must admit.. I don’t play with trucks ... EVER... but this has warned me even more👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 y’all are the 🐐

[@Truckdiver9]

Awesome video. Shows exactly what happens when pulling smooth bore. I remember first load I did, I thought someone had rear ended my truck. Scared the crap out of me. You def can’t drive tankers like a super trucker. You gotta be paying attention at all times. That’s why these tankers pay the big bucks.

[@Smokey0284]

Thank you. New driver here looking for my first job. I want to get into tankers and I've been searching for videos like this and couldn't find any until now.

[@j4sho748]

As a Fellow Tanker In the snowy mountains of Minnesota..... We are the big dogs of the road. Its a diffrent kinda of driving

[@vistalite-ph4zw]

Looks like the tank has no baffles but baffles don't stop the side motion. Great lesson though less wear and tear on the tractor just takes patience...🙂

[@chris77777777ify]

I drive Milk Tanker Arctics in UK. Part loads are worse than fully loaded. Good fun driving the Tankers, might look slow to car drivers, but it’s a good ride in the cab.

[@luismagana9784]

Yup anything 3k to 5k gallons will humble you real quick!’

[@1234567895182]

If you want to get maybe 10% of an idea of what this is like, grab the biggest clear water tight bottle you can find. A 2L coke bottle will probably work. Put it in your car on the passenger seat and try to drive while keeping the water from sloshing. Bonus points if you do this in a manual car. The bigger the bottle the more accurate it will be. But you get the idea. Its a pretty hard thing to do and this guy is doing it like 1000x bigger. Very impressive!

Thanks for the video. 20 year reefer driver here just about to get into food grade tanker.

[@jonathanspears7734]

Your 100% right I drive double tankers raw milk have for 5yrs.

[@n.ampleaca]

Just lied i have 2 years tanker experience to get a tanker power only contract. Did flatbed/stepdeck before, so im kinda used with shifting loads, coils, steel bars and stuff, but daaaamn, first 10 minutes with the full tanker was stressful. Never drove so careful. So far (3h into driving) im kinda figuring it out. Even had a traffic stop moment and i handled it well, load was under control completely. Came here for advice on starting to roll. Everytime i start moving, i feel like my 5th wheel will break, but i guess its normal. Lower rpm and not skipping gears should help. And just taking it slow. Im just used to flooring it every time i start rolling

The old psychedelic diesel wagon he had a good Channel wish he would come back

[@Donbarbz]

Nice job driver. Very tricky hauling tanker indeed. Totally different animal.

[@Introverted-Trucker]

Great video just got my tanker and hazmat leaning heavy towards tanker

[@jmchavis4183]

You will never want to pull anything else.

[@SUPER_TANKER]

Go for it you will love it

[@hectorgarcia-zv1wi]

What gear are u in right now how do you slow down in the mountains does the company even kno to route you under 200 miles so u could make your stop or they just don’t care

[@892guns]

my company had a short straight truck tanker with one of those medium duty automatic transmission that behave like a manual. it sucked driving that thing, the load would surge like mad. The shifts were not at all smooth on that truck

[@dher5165]

Thank you please do a few more

[@chris77777777ify]

Milk Tankers don’t have baffles in the tank. 1 because it would be harder to clean if they did. 2 it would be butter before you get to the destination!!!!!

[@sajen23]

i went from chem tanker to fuel hauling, and this hit from smooth bore chem tanking is a realllllllllly good hit lol, fuel hauling i barely feel it

[@725WS]

Great job brotha. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast

[@Wvuboy23]

Sounds like Dakota?? Love tank driving it’s fun but hurts sometimes haha.

[@Billy-hx3zi]

This was cool to watch! I’m looking into hauling fuel. Is the surge as bad as this? Watching this definitely makes me a little more nervous than I already was 🤣

[@whatislifebuttheenjoymento3405]

You gonna get caned if you don't know how to do this lol

[@avalynn8409]

depends on what kind of fuel. but food grade would give more surge just because they are smoothbore. No baffles due to sanitation. Fuel is a lighter liquid than water so you would not experience hardcore surge.

[@Billy-hx3zi]

@@avalynn8409 9 months into this job and I can agree the only surge I get is if I come up to a stop sign or light and slam the brakes lol. And even then it isn’t anything really. I’d like to ride in a truck hauling a smooth bore to see what real surge is 😂

[@avalynn8409]

@@Billy-hx3zi congrats though! I'm about to get a tanker job too. So fun lol

[@Billy-hx3zi]

@@avalynn8409 Awesome! I haul diesel, gas, and ethanol right now. It’s a pretty easy gig, home every day. I’m contemplating looking into Air Products though. My buddy’s dad works there and says it’s even easier and cleaner than fuel hauling and it’s $100k+ a year job. Definitely wanna stay with tanker work though, it’s just badass lol

[@AlfredoSanchez-gn2dv]

I haul caustics/acids that are much heavier in a tank that is usually loaded 3/4 full and that puts me at about 80k and the surge on those setups are brutal

[@unhippy1]

Best advise i got for liquid loads was to drive like a grandma, to the point that if your your actual grandma was in the passenger seat she would get the shits on with you for driving 'like a grandma'

[@carlinbrumback8931]

10 drivers in my orientation quit the ist day.LOL

[@davidkattan1275]

What type of truck do you have, what's the model. I been trying to figure out what truck to buy to haul asphalt . Need a low clearance, yours looks nice and low.

[@truckingwithfauz7089]

My first day drinking a liquid tanker..scariest shit

[@eliteseal99]

Does it hurt when it surges? Does it feel like someone hit you from the back?

[@chrissaint-victor1606]

Like your in a water raft or go cart and someone bump you

[@markmurdock3354]

Video video was very helpful do you know if I want to get into tanker driving

[@deesimmons7704]

Appreciate you sharing!

[@scaniawahl]

Volvo and Scania have very fast automated gearchanges. But i guess it ain’t enough to hold the liquid surged back under the whole accelleration. But the surge can cause them to change down again and up all the time. Especially those from mid 90’s and some years😊

[@Afroo.]

You get that Common sense when you visualize the load movement in your tank as you driving lol

[@josephmccullum9965]

4:21 after that surge screw tankers! That’s like a small car rear ending you

[@martycech5844]

Excellent information and video!

[@bestbassbooster]

4:57 No doubt how my friends talk to me🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😂

[@Gixzer04]

It’s like you’re running in water yanking a half full tank wagon from a stop. You can only go when the wave lets you other than that you’re just treading water 🤣

[@Mainly-boy-outdoors]

What were you hauling?

[@edwinacurl6888]

Thank you for this Video.

[@TTVZicaZachh]

How tall is a stainless steel food grade trailer? Just got into it and I'm trying to figure that out.

[@jerrodlopes186]

12'6".

[@lewokejames]

how about in a 20' box filled with liquid with no baffles ?

[@CrazyWorldWeLiveIn2024]

Great Video

[@RJ-qk7to]

Nice Rig AJ!

[@luismagana9784]

Can’t really explain just gotta drive it! With more time on the road one will learn! But respect the surge liquid your hauling wine or milk! Time every move! Slow turns!
