I happened upon this article. I imagine that this fuel hauler is catching some heat.
I would think this driver is filling out info on Tenstreet at the moment.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
Ouch someone had a mix. Happens more often than you'd think. Many tanker companies have started not hauling gas and diesel at the same time to try and reduce these errors, but they still happen. I know we have a couple of trailers of mixed product on our yard, and our headquarters has a huge storage tank for it as well.
As long as the driver reported it immediately, didn't violate any other company policy, and doesn't have a bad history they'll likely keep their job. But with the demand for drivers as it is, they could be driving for another fuel hauler next week if they were let go.
We had a new guy who was fired for multiple mishaps, the final of which was dropping dyed diesel in a 93 conventional tank. He is now hauling fuel for CIrcleK.

We are all human and have those bad days, so it doesn't surprise me that this happens more than we hear about it.
