POV Day in the life of a truck driver | Delivering a load of propane to a customer location

Check out the latest trucking vlog, a POV view of a day in the life of a truck driver delivering a load of propane to a customer location. This is a great opportunity to see the detail it takes to haul hazardous materials and deliver propane to a customer safely.
This was the first time I pumped a load of propane in about 6 years - I was a little rusty and have been working on my step-by-step to gain some speed of offload and make sure I'm not missing anything. Enjoy!
Thank you for checking out my channel! Please follow along and subscribe to watch as I drive a Peterbilt 389 hauling mainly hazardous materials from plants and refineries to customer locations. I hope to bring insight to those wanting to know more about over the road trucking as well as to those interested in tankers hauling hazmat, or just because trucking is cool, m'kay!
Please feel free to comment and ask questions - this is a great way to interact.
I will do my best to answer them and want to provide links to the things I have in my truck to make my life just a little easier.
As always, keep it between the mayonnaise and the mustard... Take Care!

Here’s the response video to some asking to see hooking up hoses and how we unload. Enjoy!

[@DragginFlys]

Perfect tutorial video man!!!!

[@truckingwithtramjam]

Glad it helped!

[@xioeldel9885]

Thank you soo much for explaining everything you're doing.. and for being very professional 👏 I'm doing flatbed here in California for now, but I really want to more and hazmat is the way 🙌🙌

[@truckingwithtramjam]

Thank you for watching, I’m glad it helps!! I pulled flatbed for several years. It’s a great Segway into tanker and hazmat. Good luck and stay safe!

[@jp-ys2xo]

Loooook at the growth! Love it bro!

[@mrgooselive2464]

Still here waiting to see you do what they say can’t be done 😅

[@Mike38901]

Hey there, just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I haul fuel in Arizona for Diamond Trucking and Acord is some good people. If i wasn’t living here, I’d definitely be applying for Acord. Love the truck btw

Thank you!

[@mail_liw]

Came across your channel the other day and I have to say the video quality is outstanding for such a small channel.

[@truckingwithtramjam]

Thank you for that. Everyone has to start somewhere, I appreciate you being here.

[@davidrains9899]

Very good job

[@gyffjogofl7676]

Good stuff 👏

[@truckingwithtramjam]

Thank you 🙏

[@Cherokeelion]

Fun to see! I do the same thing for a competitor up north.

[@truckingwithtramjam]

Cheers 🍻

[@Cherokeelion]

@@truckingwithtramjam cheers mate, its a damned good job to have.

[@jayodom601]

Thanks for the video. I pull a chemical tanker. I always wondered how propane tankers are unloaded.

[@truckingwithtramjam]

What kind of chemicals? How does it load/unload?

[@jayodom601]

Paint resin and it is pumped off.

[@Q_IXIX]

How often does acord let u go home?

[@dennisduvall39]

Well I'm surprised but I think there needs to be more copper in the screwing. But pulling a reefer or a jug give me a reefer. Oh by the way NICE truck except it's not a W900L lol

[@tracker1ify]

So I see that it's labeled non odorized, What does that company use it for not being oforized?? Or your trailer just mislabeled? Or am I confused?

[@truckingwithtramjam]

Great question!! All propane going to customer locations is odorized. However, we do a lot of transfers between refinery and storage of non odorized propane. Thus the trailer is marked non odorized. I’m aware of a few states requiring you to have magnets and show odor or non odor, the states we run want it labeled non odor. 👍

[@flakdawg]

Came across your video. Im currently out in Guam and starting a propane business, but only with Bobtail trucks. Just starter small biz as of now. My question is, how would I know when to stop filling the cuatomers' tanks??? In your case, you deal with two larger than residential tanks and speak of percentages. I didn't catch how or when it's at the full percentage. Your advice is appreciated. Thank you

[@drewmurphy2796]

Just found your Channel. I’m sure it’s been discussed before but how’d your get into propane? Lots of training?

[@truckingwithtramjam]

I had no experience with it at all actually. I am an experienced driver, with all endorsements and a wide array of driving background. A friend suggested this place 8 years ago. I served 2, moved away and back now 6 years later.

[@KHendrix304]

Is that a 7 inch garmin? I have a 10 inch garmin but since I'll be driving a Peterbilt the 10 inch is way too big.

[@truckingwithtramjam]

Yes it is. That’s why I got the 7, the 10” is much too large imo

[@bnsfr6]

Let’s gooo

[@KHendrix304]

Does hauling propane pay well?

[@truckingwithtramjam]

I think it does. It all depends on the company you’re hauling for, how they pay, and if you stay busy.

[@adangarcia92]

Do they pay hourly or by the loads?

[@truckingwithtramjam]

By the load 👍

[@Checksixty]

Did you do local or regional or otr?

[@truckingwithtramjam]

Pretty much regional. Some work could be considered local but overall, regional.

[@markbassingthwaite8510]

In Ontario Canada was running a 5 axle trailer in the winter hauling 62,000 litres (16,380 US gallons), 139,000 lbs. Front and rear axles of trailer would both lift (from the cab) and steer

[@truckingwithtramjam]

Bad ass!

[@ElectiveAmputation]

dang babe. 😍

[@truckingwithtramjam]

😘

[@bijanakbari2049]

Do you have to climb on top of trailers ? I dont like heights but have tanker endorsement, turned down a food tanker job due to getting on top of trailer....i would still like a tanker job if possible

[@truckingwithtramjam]

We do on the oil/asphalt trailers, not our propane trailers.
