I have been hauling fuel for a couple months now. My opinion is that it's the safest type of driving because you never forget whats behind you and knowing that one little mistake could be your last. When I pulled double's and long box's I always pushed it, probably more than I should have. Now that I'm pulling a tanker I pay close attention to every thing that I do.
If the trailer had 150 gallons left in a compartment it should have never loaded without resetting your tank sensors. We load diesel from one rack and if we need gas we have to pull up to a different rack. If we have one compartment full before entering the second rack we have to reset the scully to get a green light to load the rest of the compartments.
