Aw, hell!! I've been hauling natural gas for well over 50yrs. I've had more explosions than I can remember. Although I never made the news, I caused numerous emergency evacuations.

In 7 years I have know three guys personally wreck their tankers, one took a complete 360 roll over after falling asleep, loaded with gas and walked away with a broken collar bone and some scraps, the next guy tried to beat a stale light and took corner to fast loaded and rolled on his side spilled about 3000 gallons of ULSD, the last guy fell asleep too and road out a broken steer axle after hitting the guard rail. All three survived. Now I am also aware a five guys who have died in the Florida area because of tanker accidents, and yes the died in the fire after the accident. somehow as a fuel driver you pay attention to these types of accidents and word travels fast when you are loading on the rack. You just need to be aware at all times and do your job the same way every time, just like you brush your teeth, when you change up how you do things you tend to forget a step and that can lead to a spill, a cross drop, a probing out, so many different things can happen.
The fact is though the same can happen driving a flatbed, doubles, dry van, or even in your car. Pulling fuel is not for everyone and you will know once you get into it. Good luck!

Five in the Florida area during your seven years...I mean, it's something to think about..

Hauling Fuel is easy. What can be more fun is some of the other Haz Mats that do not like to be jolted around that much. Some of them really love to be COLD to be stable. I pulled 2 loads that had to be kept in Dry Ice and handled like they where antique cars. You prayed like Hell you had enough Dry Ice and no one cut you off.
