Air Liquide reviews

Q: Hello Everyone.

I'm starting with Air Liquide in a couple of days and I was wondering if anyone here knew much about them?

I'll be hauling CO2 and I know that I will have to join the Teamsters Union.

I've been driving for 22 years but I don't have a much tanker experience and I've never worked for a Union company.

Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Guys.

Heres an update on my experience with Air Liquide so far.

I've been with the company about 2 months now and so far so good. I'm still getting used to tankers. It still feels really weird sometimes.

Loading and delivering CO2 is pretty easy once you get the hang out it.

I went through almost 2 months of training before I was allowed to go out by myself. Thats the longest I've ever been trained in 23 years of driving. 

I'm glad I made the switch to tankers. It's fun and challenging and way different then dragging a van or flat around.

Also, Air Liquide is a great company with a great bunch of people and the pay is good.

Take care Guys.

I'm going to give it to you guys short and sweet. I've been working for Air Liquide for a little over 2.5 years.

We get paid miles and stops and event pay I.E--Delivery...Load...Delay...Layover.. Etc. What that translates into is 1200-1700 per week and about 75K per year. 

No driver gets hourly. Period.

As far as hours worked, it's a grueling schedule to be honest. There will be occasional breaks here and there but expect at least 60+ hours per week most of the time.

Quarterly safety bonus of a few hundred dollars after taxes.

Health insurance and vacation pay are just like everywhere else, Average. We get a handful of personal paid days off per year to use for whatever. 

The job is good but you will put a lot of hours in. After a while it's just normal. You will be home most days with the occasional layover. I like it and I have no plans to leave.
