Cool vid man, about the same as when I used to haul fuel and had to do a pump off. I also used to haul water in the oil field but we used vacuum pumps they were a lot faster, only took about 15-20 minutes to load/unload maybe a little longer if you had some thick crap. Ya'll stay safe out there.
It's a long process of reversing the pump and rolling up the hose towards the pump to try to empty it; then closing the valve to the trailer and shutting off the pump. That is the basic s
This was SO cool to watch! I had no idea this much went into tanker Unloading. How do you know when the product is done pumping or close to? Great content and looking forward to more! Be safe out there guys!
You usually hop up and down the ladder to check in the top to see how low it is. Sometimes the hoses will vibrate hard because they are sucking air more then product.
This being the inedible side !!! Same basic process for edible/kosher just a different pump and only 1 hose versus that u-shaped hose. I guess I need to make a video !!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I started in reefer. Was fine but wanted to do more outside the truck. I enjoy tanker more then reefer/dry van. Only way I’d go back is 100% drop n hook.
The extra amount is very dependent on your truck setup, the tilt of the trailer and the capacity left in the customers silo. You will always have some left over. You just have to work the pump to suck back what’s left so you don’t have messes such as what happened in the video. It’s just something you do with what you have.
Pretty much there’s a few videos on the first day. How to take apart the pump and how to hook up to unload. The next day is hands on loading/unloading.
This video is super informative with every detail!! thank you guys 👍👍👍👍 this is a very worthy job that supports families and thanks for helping families to be well 🫡🫡🫡🫡

Ayyye tanker stuff, on video at that!
Yeah trying to get the opportunity to get more of this into videos along with Vlogs. Not a lot of tanker stuff out there.
This was a great video. I’m starting my food grade taker career next month. Good to see how it works before hand.
Hey brother great video this has me thinking of tanker especially after our convo today! keep them coming!
Great information Kyle👍
Appreciate this info. 1st day training: feel like I'll never remember it all. Ugh!!!
Thanks, that was what I was hoping for.
Very interesting video
Thank you.
I dont see when drain the hoses at the end of loading 🥺

Yep, a lot simpler then it seems.

Tankers are a different world!! I wish I would have started in dry van!! I just hate to pump off….. hoses are so heavy!

So the tank to pump will have product after
Take extra caps before leaving ? Cause that was a hood bit still falling out

Hey! Reefer guy switching to Tanker at Prime. Can you give a review about Tanker boot camp and what to expect, how to review?
Pretty much there’s a few videos on the first day. How to take apart the pump and how to hook up to unload. The next day is hands on loading/unloading.
is tanker less stress than a dry van?
Less stressful, I’m not sure as I haven’t done dry van. To me in my personal opinion, Tanker is the least stressful division at Prime.
Wouldn't it be a lot better if you just shot the video without sound and then just narrate afterwards? There's too much background noise.
This was definitely an early video as I was winging it. Also at the time I didn’t have anything to edit the video with.
@@4WideTrucking I understand, I was basically mentioning this to help you. You're doing a great job informing people.
Very informative video, thanks for taking the time to do this and help us understand. Are you a trainer (TNT) for Prime Inc.?
Not anymore. I currently drive for Hicks Trans.

Awesome man thanks. This is the reason I started this channel to be informative and help those that got thrown to the wolves succeed.
Oakley, Go to Oakley! lol
I’ve looked into them some. Would probably be my next move depending on if the leasing company won’t throw a hissy fit.
