Hi guys, I was wondering about how many hours do you guys run in a shift for local work. Also how long does it take to load and unload bulk trailers. Thanks in advance, I ask because I've been offered a position but I'd have to take an hourly paycut.

Wow, I thought Cryogenic work was the pinnacle. Almost impossible to get in where I'm at, but there also aren't many Cryogenic carriers here. Could be interesting work for you. Pay may be lower, but the workload may be better.
Good luckCali kid Thanks this. -
I'm not SoCal, but a ballpark load/unload time would be 1 hour to 1.25.
Cali kid Thanks this. -

I'm in Seattle and our schedules are usually planned for about a 12 hour shift. I work nights, so I think I usually average maybe about 10 hour night overall. You can load a trailer anywhere between 20 min to over an hour. Depends on the product, whether you're loading by yourself or not and tank levels at the plant and in the trailer. Unloading too depends on the customers tank size and the pressure in that tank. We have some that take 10 min and some that take close to 2 hours. I'd say average of about 45 min. Nitrogen will always be the longer one. Hope this helps.
Edit. Also if it's Air Liquide or Air Gas I'd advise you not to take it. -
Why not air gas I just applied for bulk tanker driver

Another question guys, I haul fuel now which is steady work all year round. How is cryo is it fairly consistent work?

scythe08, harlycharly55 and Cali kid Thank this. -
I saw an air products trailer on the 405 the other day with liquid hydrogen. Pretty crazy, literally rocket fuel. But, it was pulled by a Trimac tractor.
