What is a tanker loader?

Tanker Loaders are workers responsible for safely loading and unloading liquids, gases, or bulk materials into and from tanker trucks, railcars, or ships. They operate pumps, valves, and hoses while following strict safety procedures to prevent spills and contamination. Tanker Loaders also inspect equipment for leaks, ensure accurate measurements, and may complete related paperwork or logs. This role is vital in industries such as petroleum, chemicals, agriculture, and food processing.
