    Yes hydrogen is dead along with alot of our other accounts. We dont have very many hospitals unlike Airgas/ liquid. It's been mainly government and food accounts that have been getting us by. All of our drivers are on a temporary 4-3 schedule and most of us are not even hitting 40hrs although we still get paid for 40hrs.

    Hey guys last friday was my last day in a truck, I'm hanging up the keys and falling back on some tech stuff I've been doing on the side. I got into trucking initially to get out and clear my mind, but these days it's doing the opposite and causing me stress and aggravation. I miss how it was, manual transmissions, no cameras, no micromanaging, just doing my thing and cowboying. I'm glad I could be a part of what was left of that before it was completely gone, but now that's over and I needed to move on. It's been great talking to you guys over the years and I wish you all the best. Take care.

    Sounds like you've had a good run. Congratulations on your "retirement" and good luck with your future in the tech field.

    Plant, I know what you’re saying.
    1 year ago, I walked away from a fuel hauling gig with a co. that had all the newest gizmo’s, gadgets, etc., now back working for the competition in the same market, with a fleet of all pre-def, pre-regen, no cameras, 100% manual trans., etc. trucks. At truth be told, I feel 1000 times better. No longer hate being at work, don’t dread what might happen the next day.

    Well #### guess I'm late to the party brother, well take care buddy. Even here at air products we are getting driver facing cameras so will see how it goes. Didn't mind them at my old job but depends on how strict safety gets with them. As for now the pay is worth the headaches I suppose, since I started with AP back in 2016 they have kept there word on raises.
