Somebody is going to be mad. Sorry. I've seen some gas hauling threads but I haven't seen one that specifically addressed the threats. I'm interested because gas hauling pays $21/hr where I am and that's much better than the local job I have now.
So what' the deal?'
Tank gets punctured for any reason, you die? You jackknife; somebody hits you; you hit something on a loading rack; blowout or anything else puts you in a ditch or against an overpass... Other vehicles, these things usually don't kill you.
What else? Brake dragging overheats wheel hub?
What else? Somehow, some way, there is a spark or cigarette while unloading or loading?
Anything else?
So then, how high are these risks? Anyone know the mortality rate of fuel haulers compared to other truck drivers?
TIA and don't be mad.
