Like the title says, its a video of unloading a bulk tank. Contrary to the title, i like to do this. It sure beats the hell out of sitting at a grocery warehouse for 6 hrs and dealing with stupid lumpers, overages and shortages, and the rest of the crap that goes with being a freight hauler. I plan to make a video explaining what all of the valves are, what they do, and why

  • cool video im not a trucker but it was interesting plus funny,when you speed it up and when john scares you

  • @PAMAROSHOUSE I think John does that on purpose. He gets me every time i go there. Thanks for watching

  • Nice vid :-) I am hauling a Feldbinder pneumatic trailer in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden and Denmark). Looks a bit different. Will try to upload some pics or vids later. Would bee fine with some more pics/vids from your company as well. Would be nice with a bit more pneumatic stuff on youtube!

  • @NorwegianTrucker Thanks! It would be good to get more uf us on here. I have carried my camera a thousand times hoping to be able to film unpluging it but never plug it up

  • how do you onstop one when it's stopped up

  • Sorry for the delay getting back to you my pc was in the shop gettin upgrades.

The air will escape thru the blowdown creating suction on the product line and will clear the plug. hope this gives you an

  • Thanks

  • This video is a great resource driver good job

  • If anyone is selling Pneumatic tankers near PA, VA, MD, WV area please let me know

  • Are you unloading sugar or salt? Maybe you aren't plugging since the product is fine. I do rock salt and that crap is pretty ornery. I gotta watch it like a hawk while unloading or it clumps and plugs the line. Happened enough times that maybe I should film unplugging a line.

  • I would mind do that

  • the company i work for we mainly haul pebble lime, that shit is nasty, gotta wear safey glasses, and long sleeves in the summer time and a mask if the place we are loading is dusty. and yeah unloading in the pouring rain and snow sucks!! haha
