Always good to pop the vapor on first so you vent the tank to get proper stick reading.
Good job driver be safe.
Bro what! I just stumbled upon your video because I just got a job hauling fuel in ABQ! Crazy coincidence
👏 👏
I am applying to coastal in El Paso / south New Mexico area
Hopefully they call me
Nice video thank you for all the info
They will bro… if they don’t call in two weeks call them. They can only have so many drivers at a time in training. They will always need drivers
Glad came across your video they have jobs here in Dallas I’m currently getting my tankers and hazmat have over 2 years of experience shouldn’t be hard to get on.
Not at all fam. Go get this money. Just remember if you wanna move to real money in fuel hauling you’re gonna have to take a step back with Coastal, get carded, get about 6-8 months of experience and then start looking for better pay
@@SemiEverythingwhat to you mean by carded
Carded at the fuel racks. You get trained on how to use the racks computers and their safety procedures. You need a trainer to be present everytime your ready to be tested by the rack operators. They come out and ask you questions you should know from your trainer like if you are loading 4000 gallons of regular how much ethanol should be going in first? It's always 10%, so the answer is 400 gallons. They will watch you as you are loading your trailer. Always keep an eye on the computer screen and the trailer at the same time. If the ethanol goes over say the 400 gallons and gets to say 411. You need to be ready to hit the stop button on the computer and then hit the call button that gets the operator to come over. If you mess up at the rack you can get permanently banned from their and that's when your tanking career is over. If you do everything correct when the operator is present they issue you a card that you always use to log into the computer to fill your order.
@@brandonjohnson3566 that seems risky wow but hey I’m sure they train the balls off ya ain’t?
@hxhcgcbdjjdnxnx depends on the company and trainer. Usually 4 to 6 weeks training on the job, on the last week your trainer will talk to the operator at the fuel rack to test you so you can get carded.
What’s your work schedule look like
I just applied
Which terminal?
I passed my Hazmat and alteady have my tanker. Im trying to get into the Austin location. They're stating they will not start the hiring process until my background clears for my HME. I was at least hoping to get the training started, but they appranetly don't allow that.
Congrats ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾… Yeah they are weird about that for some reason. The same happened to me. Took a little over 2 weeks. The company I work for now started me right away so I don’t know why Coastal does things that way
Great video, please continue to make them.
Question?
On your measuring stick, what are you looking for? Does the stick change color at the fuel level or are you looking for a wet mark on the stick? I couldn't see a difference in the video.
Looking for the wet mark on the stick for the level. Just in case the reading is wrong. Basically a manual reading
@@SemiEverything Y'all don't use Kolor Kut anymore? We weren't allowed to drop if there was 3" of water.
@@txslowpoke we do have it but not required to use it every drop.
Big Thx. Even with using your protective work gloves do U still smell the fuel on your hands afterwards?
Only if you have a spill. But you will smell like it on your cloths a little no matter what.
Hey brother! I just got my hazmat & tanker a few months ago. How do you know what tank you filling with premiums, unleaded, or diesel? Are the caps color coded? Are all the stations the same or do different stations use different color schemes?
Congrats bro! Yeah they are color coded and I haven’t seen it different anywhere else. White unleaded red premium green deisel
Haha drop that load my boy 🤣, I’m with coke rn tryna get my cdl but I’m tryna get like you one day🫡💯.
Anyway way to reach out to you about información on tanker work.
Yeah man DM on TikTok SemiEverything
The measuring stick you use, do you use the same stick and dip it in with different kinds of fuel?
No this stick can only go into unleaded and premium because the vapors leave the stick very quickly. However the diesel has a separate stick we use. Good question
We use the same stick but when sticking diesel we clean it before putting it away.
I’m trying to find a company that will train me with hazmat/tanker where I am in NJ but it’s hard to get my foot into this division w/o tanker exp. as U well know. Mega carrier Schneider would take me but that’s my last option bc I really don’t want to take my chances with them going regional from what I hear.
Yeah the Northeast is a tough market in fuel. TBH I would say forget the pay for now and take what I can to get the experience. I would make the sacrifice for a bigger payday and more stable company later. I can do some research for you
Can U pls do some research for me about this? I’m most concerned about how Schneider would treat me if out there driving for them. All the videos I saw from non-local Schneider drivers were negative, aside from great training in the beginning and not pushing drivers if they feel unsafe about something. But the thing is all these videos seemed to be over a year or so old, have not seen any recent videos. Maybe it’s the company or just them. If I’m going to be at the mercy of dispatchers I would really like to get an idea if it would be tolerable. can’t seem to get into a local tanker job w/o any exp. Thanks! If you can connect with any Schneider tanker OTR or especially NE regional drivers which I’m on the fence about can you ask them what their pay i$ like? Thanks.
@@coreymiller7570 I will look for you bro! And if I can get a driver to give some input I will!
Thx very much!!
Hey bro hopefully you respond but for each load you do, do you have to load your trailer each time?
Not every time. They do this thing called split load and I hate it
Hey buddy i got a question since you do fuel.. how do gas station get the different types of fuel ?for example premium fuel and regular fuel because all i see when tankers delivered fuel is always one tanker ,is it all the same or does the tanker have different compartments or do they deliver in different days regular fuel and then premium? Just wondering because i also notice that the in ground tank of a gas station is just one big tank with no separation or just one big tank for desiel fuel so im just curious on how we are getting premium gas and regular gas.
Our tanks have different compartments… in my last drop on the video I had premium and unleaded. The premium was in compartment 3 out of 4. Also the gas station tanks are separated as well. They have different tanks to separate the fuel type. I think I explain it on the last stop of the video

@SemiEverything oh OK awesome, that's good to know thank you for explaining . this is Very good information
Most fuel tanks have 4 compartments. From front to back is labeled 1, 2, 3, 4. 1 can hold 4000 gallons, 2 can hold 2000, 3 can hold 1000 gallons, 4 can hold 2000. On average fully loaded trailer holds 8,800 gallons safely.
Are they seniority based when it comes to working day shift ??
Actually no. Most work day shifts unless you get hired for overnight. You either get Friday Saturday off or Sunday Monday
I just got my x and twicc. How’s the interview process? Hard questions they ask?
Tbh hell no lol. Just be professional and you’re good. Just know they will question you about availability and work ethic. Their way of saying we want you working weekends and 12-14 hours daily 😂
How do you vent the tank🎉
I didn’t show it but I open the second vapor whole
Great Content. I just want to know what's the weekly pay looking like and what is the longest distance you had to travel to deliver to? Thanks
The longest in a day was from Albuquerque NM to EL Paso TX not sure the mileage… weekly pay varies from 1200- 1500 weekly
That's like 3 and half hr away according to google. Thank you for your quick reply. I appreciate all of the information. You are very kind. @@SemiEverything
@@SemiEverythingis that take home after taxes
@@Hugo-mg9ef before taxes… I will say this. This is low pay for the fuel industry. I’m making over 2K weekly after taxes where I’m at now. I know some guys see 2500 weekly. I used this company to get the experience
Are the trucks manual transmission or automatic?
No they are all automatic
Can you explain a little about the salary? How we are payed and is it weekly bi-weekly... I just got hired and that wasn't brought up 😅
What location?
@@SemiEverything south texas
Corpus
@@davidmontes6652 so my pay will be different than yours and I don’t wanna give you miss information. I know we get $55.10 for a local here. 20 bucks an hour for breakdown pay and anything holding us up over an hour. My other video shows my whole pay
@@SemiEverything you get paid with w2 right?
Make more videos driver.
More videos coming!
Hi
Is your truck automatic?
Yes it is… all of our company trucks are automatic
Does coastal pay weekly or bi weekly?
Bi Weekly
U must get paid by the load
Yep. You can tell by the rush I’m in 😂😂😂😂… sacrifice I took to get into the fuel hauling industry. I’ll look for an hourly job in a few months
@@SemiEverythingroughly how much do they pay you for a load. Going to school in a few weeks and they will help me get a job with coastal transports
@@IN54ANE I’m actually gonn do a video in a couple of days regarding pay. Because it depends on how far and other factors like wait time and things like that… let’s say before taxes I’m averaging about 3300-3400 a pay period. Not bad for a rookie tanker.
@@SemiEverything now is that weekly or bi weekly
@@IN54ANE bi weekly lol. I wish it was weekly 😂😂😂 not to mention I’m still kinda slow compared to some.
Are those trucks automatics?
Yes sir. All automatic trucks
