Yo bro I just wanna thank you, I been a trucker for 2 year because of the permit test video you posted couple of years ago. May the lord Jesus Chris blessed you bro. 🙏🙏
Starting cdl school in 2 months and i aint gonna lie, im scared asf. But i cant let fear stop me from achieving my goals. Thanks for sharing ur day as a trucker.
It's like riding a bike bro. You'll be good man, don't sweat it. I just got done delivering for 7up for the last 15 years and just started started with a local fuel company. Got 6 weeks of training and now I'm on my own.
My man get your permit before you start cdl school! I was fortunate to have my permit before I started school. Got a week ahead of the rest of my class! Use crist cdl online for your tests. The week that I got ahead was major time, when they start their class I’m already going to be testing for my license. (Still in school rn)
It’s nothing to be scared about bro. Just prepare yourself by watching youtube videos on how to do it pass your pre-trip inspection and in-cab pre- trip inspection.. also learn the parts. You have some websites you can go on where they have a downloadable slides to learn the parts of the truck on passing your pre trip instructions. Also know what kinda trucks your going to be training on at that trucking school so you can know which slides to practice off of. For me it was freightliner.
Just got hired as a fuel delivery driver for Groendyke Transport today, and I start next week. I've been doing reefer and dry van OTR for the past 3 years but it's time for me to come and get off the road. Needed a local job. Tanker it is. Imma follow you a lot though so I can learn. Keep the videos coming bro.
That’s what up man I happy for you! I just switched companies myself & I’ll be dropping a video about that soon. I appreciate the support and will def keep the videos coming bro!
@@user-uy5bv7jh6r it’s not a females job? Are you serious? Heck no. We have a lady that works at my terminal and she’s running laps around the guys here. There’s this other woman that I see at the rack every week who’s been a fuel hauler for 15 years and she’s a trainer too. Women can definitely do this job and there really should be more woman doing it too.
I just started with kag, we start over $30hr. Definitely salute you bruh, there aint alot of us in the fuel haulin field, I've seen less than 10 other black drivers + most of the drivers old and bouta retire
@Youngtruckerdee I'm out of PA, I'm still with a trainer right now, though. I had to switch trainers because the first guy was racist and tried to make me fail.
Thank u for the very informative video. Been driving for 32 years , the last 17 driving tanker delivering cryogenics. In a couple of days I will be starting the next chapter in my career as a fuel delivery driver. U definitely made me more at ease as to what I’m getting into. Thx again, much success to u!!!
@@TroyP20 the level of harassment is through the roof. Anal management in EVERY company that does that are constantly harassing the drivers 24/7 for the dumbest shit. Not worth the headache, I’m making more $$ now delivering fuel in a stress/harassment free environment. After 32 years of total driving I just don’t have time for bullshit.
Thanks for great vid. I start classes this week. I have to get my experience b 4 i can do tankers. But tankers is the Goal. Thanks for good vid n support
Just got my permit ready to start school soon my pop drives a tanker also he’s been doing it since I was a kid. I just subscribed to your channel I appreciate the motivation an knowledge an I wish you the best moving forward my guy an be safe out there.
Good info bro I’ve been driving going on 20 years done van, flat and refer now trying to get into fuel hauling. Been an owner op past 9 years so now I need to get into fuel hauling which is more specialized and offers local. Waiting on some calls back now.
I've been a road train fuel tanker driver in Australia for 30 odd years and something that really stands out watching US videos is the lack of a company uniform. Companies and the fuel terminals here have a very strict policy with regard to clothing, must be high visibility with reflective tape and most importantly, be pure cotton to minimise static.
thanks for making this video on fuel transport driver. I'm going to start driving fuel tanker in a few days and I appreciate your input . I think this is going to be a good change for me, I do have tanker experience with hauling hot oil for paving. thank you again, you have set my mind at ease. take care,be safe
I been hauling fuel since 1995 . You can make a living. Just have to keep your head in the game 100% of the time. All mistakes are big mistakes. You drop gas in a dsl tank then by the time it's caught, your company could be on the hook for 17 dsl truck rebuilds. Seen it happen. (I didn't do it). Don't mean to scare anyone away. It's a good job. just keep focused and after so long it becomes ingrained in you. You do a load ,you forget that load, only load in your head will be the one you're doing.
Just put in my 2 weeks notice being a Fuel & Lube Driver. I’ve always wanted to deliver fuel but the backing in tight spots has been a concern Well, I’m ready
Looks like an Eagle Transport rig. I drove for them in Florida If the drops were close and I had mostly Reg, I could stick the tanks, drop with 3 hoses, and re-stick and get papers signed in 25 minutes. The easiest loads are all diesel to truck stops...in and out with plenty of room. Stations in downtown Tampa and St. Pete were TIGHT.
Dang bruh I didn’t know you started hauling fuel that’s wassup maybe I can learn something from you cs I’m looking forward to gas hauling proud you dude came a long way
@FirstnameLastname-kn2em Transportation Worker Identity Card: allows you to get into ports, railyards, and some naval vessel areas to pick up loads. Just another extensive TSA/FBI type of background check and you get a cool little badge.
Thanks for the insight. im currently applying for local tanker jobs in my city and wanted to see what to inspect b4 training and getting hired. i been otr for almost 2years. out here i cant diet like i want to so im getting off the road so i can have more home time to get my weight down. thank you for this video.
Im not a driver but i seen a driver mix diesel and gas by mistake. It was thousands of dollars lost, they money for the diesel, cost to have the bad mixture pumped out and new fuel to fill the tanks.
Ask some vets about the overweight where you at , all I carry out is 8500 , so ask around about that 9000 so you want get hung up …but keep drop that fuel bro 👍🏾
Man you seem pretty young. I’m 23 and haven’t found a career yet. Thought about getting a CDL, but extremely nervous about what some of the driving entails. I see how people drive when they’re around trucks and don’t take them into consideration. But the main thing I’m worried about is backing a trailer up and when turning at a light, I notice a lot of truckers need multiple lanes to turn from and onto. I’m worried that I would get into a wreck. Any tips to ease my mind and encourage me to pursue this career?
I’m 24 bro I made the decision to drive trucks at 21 and ended up getting my cdl on my 22nd birthday. I definitely encourage this as a career especially while your young. If you don’t plan on going to college and tired of “regular” jobs definitely pursue trucking bro. The driving and getting used to the truck will take time but if you can watch a lot videos on backing and truck drivers doing right and left hand turns. It will give you a better perspective. I used to be a little nervous myself but eventually you’ll get comfortable. The one thing about this job is just being extremely careful at all times
@@Youngtruckerdee I consider myself a pretty attentive and cautious driver and with my anxiety, probably would be extremely cautious driving a semi. I appreciate the advice. I’ll look into all of that and hopefully get rolling and get a CDL and get out on the road
@@Youngtruckerdee one last question. Were you working a job or anything while doing CDL school or is it like a full time deal? And do you have to pay for it all at once or is there payment plans or anything like that?
@@Chiefcall911 I was working before cdl school and saved up enough for one month of bills while i was in cdl school. Were I went You had to pay all at once but there’s a lot Of different opportunities now then it was almost 3 years ago. A lot of community colleges offer schooling now to and financial aid will pay for it
@@Youngtruckerdee Ah word. I've been trucking for a straight year now to get my experience and now I'm done with all that and moving on to bigger and better things. Passed my HM and Tanker tests for my CDL and now I'm just waiting for my TSA background check to show up in the DMV system (already got that cleared too). There's a place out in Winston-Salem that I've known for a while that seems pretty solid, they haul for Speedway and 7-11.
Hey dee whats the name of the fuel company your with now? And are they hiring? & how much experience do u need to have under ur belt before applying? If you dont mind me asking
You can get a hazmat with a criminal background just depends. I believe they don’t want arson, fraud, etc… usually they deny any terrorism type charge. But if I’m not mistaken If it’s a charge for possession on a small quantity or any family violence charge you should be in the clear
@@Youngtruckerdee that's what I'm thinking tankers also. I start with Cypress next week. Going to take my dt (drug test) tomorrow. I already have my CDL but I don't have any experience. Mark told me that I will need to come down to Jacksonville Wednesday and get with my trainer Thursday. So??? I'm going straight on the road or what????
@@melantheoszimurri9981 Lmaoo some companies don’t trip about it but I never put vapor coupler on like that if a lot of cars are around. But in the middle of the night it’s no big deal
Thing with gas hauling is they offer a lot of overtime. Many companies here in San Antonio will pay $30 an hour. They don’t start paying OT till past 45 hours and you don’t work more than that. Hauling gas you get around $29 an hour but can work a good amount of overtime. Had a driver tell me once he put in 72 hours.
If that tank ever ignites in a crash you won't survive it. If you think you can jog it to safety those tankers will explode an entire city block. As long as you don't crash or get crashed into it's good money. But just know, they blow.. you go.
Shoot I’m new leaving for swift cdl school beginning of august. I’ll make probably 1300/week, I want to stay the full year, what goals and how can I set myself up to go with a better company after the first 12 months Otr? Can I just get my hazmat and upgrade right on up ? Just like curious of the evolution of it .
@@Youngtruckerdee two vehicles hit each other hard enough, that can explode too. A lot of the drivers say it’s a “bomb”. If that’s the case, it’ll be placard “explosives”. I’m a gas hauler too. Hate when guys call it a bomb lol
Local company drivers typically get paid per hour. some companies pay per load but typically it’s per hour and I think that’s the best way to do it. Average starting rate is between $29-30 an hour no experience.
@@edwardcastillo8414 thnx. Since this comment I started training with a company fuel hauling, but left for another company. The first company paid per load w/o any benefits while the other company offered full benefits, union, pension & 401k w an hourly rate of $34 starting out. Monday will be my first day of training.
@Youngtruckerdee bro, a lot of people said TX will take anyone. I live in Texas, and they want you to have fuel experience. How can you find experience if nobody is hiring an inexperienced hauler? On top of that, they wouldn't take my military fuel hauling experience(7 years). Even if you do have experience, they still will train you how they want you to run in their company. 🤦🏿♂️ I give up. After submitting damn near 40 applications with all no's. I'm done with this industry. I'm going to let my hazmat expire.
@@shaydesofblue2281 It’s possible it could be your area. Have you heard of Eagle transport? They hired me with only otr experience and no tanker experience. Don’t give up man and just keep trying
Your procedure is wrong right off the bat. You should ALWAYS be connecting your vapor on the ground side first, and then reversed when done dropping. You’re literally letting vapors freely flow from the truck into the air around you, not safe. Look at my comment as constructive criticism. Stay safe out there.
Yo bro I just wanna thank you, I been a trucker for 2 year because of the permit test video you posted couple of years ago. May the lord Jesus Chris blessed you bro. 🙏🙏

That’s the only thing I can’t show. We’re not allowed to record at the pick ups
They aren’t allowed to record but there is videos out there of people recording. You can find a few but not many

So do you need any other endorsements to do tanker jobs? Like doubles?
No just hazmat and tanker to haul fuel
Hazmat/Tanker otherwise known as X Endorsement but I’ve heard of a few companies requiring doubles/triples.
Shoot I’m new leaving for swift cdl school beginning of august. I’ll make probably 1300/week, I want to stay the full year, what goals and how can I set myself up to go with a better company after the first 12 months Otr? Can I just get my hazmat and upgrade right on up ? Just like curious of the evolution of it .

It's not a bomb bruh. Gas burn. It don't blow up.
My trainer told me if someone hits that tanker hard enough in the right spot it can explode
@@Youngtruckerdee two vehicles hit each other hard enough, that can explode too. A lot of the drivers say it’s a “bomb”. If that’s the case, it’ll be placard “explosives”. I’m a gas hauler too. Hate when guys call it a bomb lol
@@catv8278I agree it’s not necessarily a bomb but if someone hits it at the right spot it’ll definitely blow like one!
be careful 9k might pretty much b overweight

How much do fuel haulers get paid per stop or per load
Local company drivers typically get paid per hour. some companies pay per load but typically it’s per hour and I think that’s the best way to do it. Average starting rate is between $29-30 an hour no experience.
@@edwardcastillo8414 thnx. Since this comment I started training with a company fuel hauling, but left for another company. The first company paid per load w/o any benefits while the other company offered full benefits, union, pension & 401k w an hourly rate of $34 starting out. Monday will be my first day of training.
I make 120k+..but I am a hustler. If your a slacker..easy 80k still.
How tf people get on these jobs without experience?
Idk man I call those people extremely lucky tbh
@Youngtruckerdee bro, a lot of people said TX will take anyone. I live in Texas, and they want you to have fuel experience. How can you find experience if nobody is hiring an inexperienced hauler? On top of that, they wouldn't take my military fuel hauling experience(7 years). Even if you do have experience, they still will train you how they want you to run in their company. 🤦🏿♂️
I give up. After submitting damn near 40 applications with all no's. I'm done with this industry. I'm going to let my hazmat expire.
@@shaydesofblue2281 It’s possible it could be your area. Have you heard of Eagle transport? They hired me with only otr experience and no tanker experience. Don’t give up man and just keep trying
Your procedure is wrong right off the bat. You should ALWAYS be connecting your vapor on the ground side first, and then reversed when done dropping. You’re literally letting vapors freely flow from the truck into the air around you, not safe. Look at my comment as constructive criticism. Stay safe out there.
