These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 64 topics.
You're behind the wheel of a full tender on a crowned county road. The curve tightens, and you feel the water shift a beat after the truck does.
On the written exam, that same moment turns into a question about center of gravity and surge. The manual covers it in a few dense paragraphs, and by the next morning the terms are just words.
In the book, rollover is one page: the tender drawn from behind, the center of gravity marked high, the water surging late and the road crown tilting it all.
The same goes for baffles and partitions, stopping distance with a full tank, the soft shoulder, the air brake check and backing with a spotter. Each one has its own page.
You see why tenders roll over, and you can drive it and answer it without reopening the manual.
The job and the exam, the tender, driving, the fill site, drafting, the dump site, shuttle math, pump hydraulics and exam review: 68 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
It's drill night, the pumper is set at the pond, and the evaluator says: prime it. Hard suction is on, the strainer is down, and now the order matters.
In the book you open the priming page and it's drawn: the pump panel, the primer control, the compound gauge going into vacuum, every step numbered.
The same goes for the fill site, drop tank setup, the jet siphon, shuttle flow rate and friction loss. Each one is on its own page.
Mobile Water Supply Illustrated is 68 illustrated pages in 9 parts, and it ends with skills station checklists, the numbers to know cold and 5 worked shuttle math problems.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What a mobile water supply operator does, NFPA 1002 and 1010, written vs. practical, the shuttle order and the words you need first.
Water weight, tender types and NIMS typing, baffles and surge, tank vents, dump valves, the tender pump, the pre-trip walk-around and what's on board.
Center of gravity and rollover, the soft shoulder, stopping distance with a full tank, the air brake check, intersections, backing with a spotter and the driving course.
Choosing the fill site, layout and traffic flow, hydrant filling, the fill pumper and the 1,000 gpm goal, dry hydrants, nurse tenders and fill site safety.
Atmospheric pressure, theoretical vs. practical lift, positioning, hard suction without air leaks, strainers, priming step by step, losing prime and cavitation. At the draft station, you prime in order instead of from memory.
Dump site layout, setting up a drop tank, folding vs. self-supporting, two and three tanks, the jet siphon, fast dumping and night operations.
Shuttle flow rate, fill and dump time, travel time, how many tenders you need, required fire flow, NFPA 1142/1140 total water and ISO tanker credit. Every formula worked step by step, so the math questions stop being guesses.
Friction loss, pump discharge pressure, elevation at 0.5 psi per foot and relay pumping vs. tanker shuttle.
The whole shuttle on one page, the numbers to know cold, the skills station checklists, 5 worked math problems and the most frequent test-day mistakes.
At the end of the book: Skills station checklists, the numbers to know cold and 5 worked shuttle math problems.
Exam-style written questions with answers, plus practical skills checklists for drafting, drop tank setup and dump site work, so you know where you stand before test day.
Each mistake drawn before and after, from a kinked hard suction to a tender parked in the wrong lane at the dump site, so you catch it before the evaluator does.

You pay once. No subscriptions.
Yes. It isn't a beginner's book: it puts what you already do in the order and with the numbers the Driver/Operator – Mobile Water Supply exam uses, from drafting to shuttle flow rate.
From NFPA 1002 (mobile water supply chapter, folded into NFPA 1010 in the 2024 edition), NFPA 1901/1900 and NFPA 1142/1140. It isn't written for one state: it follows the NFPA job performance requirements that Pro Board and IFSAC accredited state programs test against. Every standard number and limit is marked, so you can check it against the edition and the skills sheets your state uses.
No. It's an independent illustrated study book. It isn't published or endorsed by NFPA, Pro Board, IFSAC or any state agency, and it doesn't give a certificate or count as training hours.
No. It's for review. Apparatus driving and pump operations are learned in your department's training and your state program, with supervised practice.
No. They're exam-style questions written for this book, not official questions from any exam.
The book and the 2 bonus books arrive as a PDF by email.
No. It's a one-time payment.
Yes. The PDF is ready to print, so you can bring it to the station or keep it in the cab.
You have 30 days. We refund everything if the file won't open, if the book isn't what you see on this page, if you were charged twice or if the email doesn't arrive: just email us.
No more rereading the chapter with nothing sticking.
