Truck Driver makes HUGE MISTAKE what now? (Trucking) Prime Inc Tanker 😭

[@truckingwithrex]

If your thinking of coming to Prime Inc or want to get your CDL license. I honestly believe Prime is a solid company to start your trucking journey. Make sure when you fill out the online application @ www.primeinc.com put my driver code STREXA on page 2 of the application when it ask who referred you. Thanks for watching my video 🙂💯💪

I hope that your Safety department recognizes your honesty and integrity. I am a Certified Safety Professional, and have been consulting trucking companies for over 25 years. My specialty is accidents and root cause analysis. Your video addressed so many questions I would have asked. You did your on analysis and found the root cause, and addressed how to correct this issue from happening in the future. I personally would reward you with a $500 check for your honesty, your integrity and your ability to find the root causes and then accept responsibility for your actions. As a Safety professional I applaude you Sir.

[@martin1234512345]

Wtf is a safety professional? Is that one of those bullshit big money jobs that shouldn't exist? Cause it sounds like it.

[@jwood4318]

@martin1234512345 let me help you out here. I hold a Bachelors degree in business as well as a Bachelors degree in Health and environmental science, I also hold several safety Certifications. I started my career working on semi trucks, because my dad was a true owner operator. Meaning that he was trucking before deregulation and was doing it under ICC rules, to which you probably no nothing about. I started driving trucks at 14 years old, and after coming out of the USMC I drove over the road for about 5 years, then decided to use my GI Bill and go back to school. As for my job, until trucking companies quit hiring stupid uneducated people such as yourself, then they will be a need for my unnecessary job. But you are correct, it does pay really well. So well in fact I semi retired at age 49! Mostly these days I just do consulting work with companies and show them how not to hire stupid drivers. Maybe your company needs a little help?

[@alcapone3916]

Certified Safely Professional sounds like such a bullshit title I had to look it up and am surprised that's a thing you get paid to do.

[@jwood4318]

@Al Capone I know right? It's kinda like the warning labels they have put on shit that warns you of the dangers of their product. People with common sense will read those labels and weigh the risks with the rewards. Then they are those that don't bother with either and throws caution to the wind. Until employers learn how to test potential employees for common sense, then there will be a need for safety departments to baby sit the retards they hire.

I appreciate your integrity, ownership, and transparency. Thankfully you were paying attention to your trailer when you were off-loading! Imagine if you hadn't noticed it as fast as you did! Literally the first bit came out and you were all over it. Good job!

[@Wildirishmanbiker]

Most drivers would not have posted this video. Props to you and for sharing. We are human and we all make mistakes. Great mindset for the game, roll with it, learn from it. Good lessons for other drivers. You have good people skills too and you took responsibility. Best you can do, keep on keeping on.

[@johnperkins6295]

Shit happens man. That is not the last time you will make a mistake. You are still gaining valuable experience and lessons. So many others are learning just from watching your videos. Kudos to you for the integrity and ownership. Others would’ve probably edited it out to look perfect. You are real and legit and that’s one of the reasons I love your videos, I am on the entire load with you good, bad, or ugly and absolutely love it. You’re still good bud, just take the experience to the next load. Stay safe, I’m already ready for the next load!!!

[@matthewglasser8310]

Interesting to see the differences from food grade to fuel tanker ( which I do ) most of our deliveries are gravity fed to in ground tanks . We have multiple compartments so we can have multiple different grades/types of fuel . When we do deliver to above ground tanks that’s where a pump is involved. A lot of places have their own pump but if they don’t then it’s a truck pump load that PTO directly to the pump ( no hydraulics on our equipment) but only some of our trucks are equipped with pumps ( mine don’t) . At bulk plants with racks to load their straight trucks we will have to switch the valves at their pumps to change the direction it flows. Some pumps loads the customer may operate the pump but most loads all loading and unloading is done by the driver . I see you have to vent the top to unload, gasoline must have a vapor return ( the law in most places) so put trailers have pipes coming from each compartment plus the vapor return ( may hook up in several places on the trailer) . At the loading rack we hookup a skully electrical connection that reads probes at the top of each compartment that is designed to shut the pumps down to stop overfilling, the is not a fill to stop probe it’s a last minute dummy shutdown switch that could bust a blend ( ruined fuel blend) and will likely get the driver locked out for a penalty time . The driver hooks up all equipment and sets the meters for the correct amount, he/she must know compartment sizes ! It sucks that you had this accident I hope Prime Inc doesn’t look at this video and get onto you for videoing wile the accident happened! I have actually witnessed a fuel truck overflowing, wasn’t my fault luckily it was a system malfunction the operator was right there with me crazy considering the skully never stopped it we had to hit the emergency stop ! Good thing is the racks are made for spills like this so a good wash down was all that was needed except we had to fix the fuel blend . Btw I got my trucking career started at Prime Inc Reffer almost 12 years ago.

[@chrisestock5574]

Another way to check to if the pump is going in right direction is to climb back up to the hatch and look in from up top as soon as you engage it.. If the pump is back pumping into the tank you will notice waves moving from back to front. If no waves present then is properly pumping out. Should note pump direction around pump control handle if not already there to help out the next guy.

[@stevenmanson2490]

Great job of handling the situation, i used to deliver oil to ships coming in overseas..... after im hooked up and cleared to go, open valves and start the pump.....id always check the gauges and make sure they are at the right pressure, after about 60 sec I know there is nothing blocking the flow of oil. Then i hop up to the top and do a visual inspection to make sure the oil is flowing with my own eyes.... now thats a luxury i had transporting oil..... some products are to hazardous to do so or just impossible to to do like liquid gas

I watch a lot of videos on plane crashes. What I've learned from all the check lists they have, is it reduces the chance of forgetting things. Even having what is known as a " sterile cockpit " when taking off and landing. Being I've never done tanker work, I could see having a thorough list for loading and one for unloading of what needs to be done, the process it needs to be done, and any and every detail to be checked. It's easy to miss one step, like grounding a trailer with hazmat and suffer dire consequences. I've the tanker and hazmat endorsements and yes, I've realized there's a lot to the details. Oh, it seems like a simple map of places would help a lot.

[@truckingwithrex]

Your correct that’s a GREAT idea 👌

[@latenttweet]

I work in aerospace so do a lot of procedures creating them and following them. But when I’m in my home garage all bets are off. I started doing check list on cardboard when I’m rebuilding an engine or something. Too many times I’ve forgot critical things some of them blew the engine.

[@TruckerToCorporate]

Went from trucking with Rex to running with the flash how fast you moved lol 😂

[@chokoramoja]

I see you did everything right . Before pulling the pump on. What I do first is open the face plate and have spill pads or lasagna plate on bottom of the elbow. Open face place make sure it’s moving forward and nothing inside the propeller . Seals is good it’s like 3-4 seals. I usually change them every new trailer . But if the front seal is good it’s ok . Then put faceplate back and make sure the bolt is good. Now you can start your pump like you did your walk around to make sure no leak. But always pop the faceplate to see which way the propeller is moving. It’s the shop fault they put some of them pump backward. And no sign to say which way is write. Usually I write withmarker on doors so others are aware and report it to ra. I’m chemical driver now. Did my time with prime and went local .

[@truckingwithrex]

Looking for a trailer gave me flashbacks of driving for ADM trucking and hunting a lot bigger yard for the right trailer. Then when you talked about the receiver did not want you to get on top reminded me of going to Nabisco in Indianapolis. They would not let you touch your trailer once you backed in. Glad I do not do that any more

[@donaldharris1134]

Bro, no one was hurt, so you did good trying to fix mistakes. I didn't know it was that much work in a pump off/on..

[@patrickorourke152]

It’s crazy that American trucks have only two axles on the trailer and in Europe we run 3 axles for a smaller trailer and less weight !

[@Cee1019]

We pay tolls based on how many axles we are hauling, and possibly taxes too i work for a company so i dont see that part. All tolls though assume we are hauling max weight that the axles will allow, so having unnecessary axles costs the company more and thus never really happens.

[@gearscarlos]

Mistakes can and will happen, the biggest waste from the mistake would be to not learn from it.

[@DAILYVIDS-j6o]

Like you said "A ROOKIE MISTAKE" good partial ownership... I don't know what kind of training prime does, but , As a tanker driver myself , I run my motor to see what direction it's going then proceed from there, it's not on the customer, you were just sucking in the product instead of off loading 🤷🏾 once you get the ok to open the valve and start pumping, you would be good and won't have to worry about anything.

[@jamesburns2753]

In the future, when you disconnect the intransit and hydraulic lines, please replace the rubber caps back on the connectors on the trailer. That keeps them clean for the next driver. Never liked going to Loaders yard. It is either nasty and muddy, or so dry that driving through there turns your truck white from all the dust. My trainer and i had a spill over 5 years ago at the same place you did. They told us they had a check valve. We pumped off, then when the tanker was empty, the pump was put in reverse to clear out product from hose, while removing hose we were met with a gush of product because of them not having a check valve. Fortunately my trainer was not charged with a fee because they told him they had a check valve. Amazing that they have not installed a check valve after all this time. would save them and future deliveries a possible headache. Really enjoying your videos. Stay safe.

[@sterling2359]

In my opinion there should be no way to hook up hydraulic lines the wrong way, if they have units that can do this then it’s the company that should rectify that situation. That being said a driver still has to be vigilant when loading and off loading product. We always had electronic gauges to measure the fluid in our tanks so we could visually see a drop or increase in product. If that wasn’t available we had to climb and visually check to make sure product was going down. I would make those recommendations to the company. Ultimately yes it’s the drivers responsibility. I’m impressed you put this out there, a great learning tool. Kudos to you driver and yes you will not make that mistake again. Mistakes are made and we learn from them.

[@ericbeckner6959]

Buy yourself a check valve to keep in your bag and use it all the time.

[@BassMaann]

Question. Since you're picking up pre loaded trailers that requires in transit heat. what keeps the contents from cooling down/hardening up before the trucker(you) arrives? Do they try to judge the load time with the pickup time so the trailer dose not sit long enough? or do they just load trailers and the trucker(you) has to heat the contents back up with the in transit as you drive. Dose the contents HAVE to stay warm/hot depending on what it is. or is in transit ONLY for you to be able to pump off the contents?

[@scottaustin1926]

These trailers are preheated before loading depending on the product

[@genegeneish]

About 50 gallons. No big deal, as long as your not mixing different oils. While at a bakery, waiting to pump some flour, driver in front mixed red flour with a different grade. Both silos had to be pumped out and disposed of. THATS A FUCK UP.

[@truckingwithrex]

Yeah that’s a big screw up. Or if you pump diesel fuel in unleaded the work involved to correct that 😱

Hey find out how many gallons per minute your pump put out most mine are 253 gallons per minute divided that by you your normal 3 inch hose and set your engine Rpm to what you come up with will help you save fuel while unloading and less wear and tear on engine components. You unload in about the same time . Fluid dynamics equations hope this helps . Stay safe in between the mustard and the mayonnaise catch you on the flip side. 😎

[@robertmoses9128]

One thing I noticed, when you disconnected your Intransit heat lines, you didn’t put the plastic covers back on the trailer side. Those are there for a reason. Be sure to put the caps back on. Also, it isn’t necessary to open the center valve on the trailer. I know you said it’s just your way. But I didn’t see you close that valve back either. From one Prime Tanker to another…… ✌🏻 you learned the hard way, so I won’t give you grief over the spill. Check EVERY trailer to ensure the pump is operating correctly. And start slowly, then after you see there isn’t any leaks, open it up to full speed.

1 thing I've learned from you is to always check the seal #s! My 2nd TNT load was screwed up on the paperwork.. glad I caught it before the 400 mile drive 😂

Another lesson learned! Thank you for owning your mistake, it's refreshing to see that nowadays! Shit happens, don't let it get you down. Seeya out there!

Your mistake was you started pump full blast you off slow and check everything that grinding sound coming from the pump usually means it's running in reverse prime rebuilds those levers and they run in reverse and they don't mark them which they should

At least you didn’t have to wear that spill my first load on inedible I got sprayed when I unhooked my hose but it was a small amount. But it was enough to make me the most hated man at the loves truck stop
