If somebody uses a torch on a flammable load, I'd be questioning how they even got a hazmat endorsement. We haul a lot of asphalt oil, so needing a torch at some point is inevitable. One place we take caustic has just hot water, but the hose wont reach the top of the trailer, so the only way to thaw out the end of the air line in winter, is to use the torch to let the air in.

have you heard anything? I know you posted several weeks ago at this point. -
There were never any day shifts available, that was a "mistake" by hr, but I was willing to work the night shift because the pay was good. Decent benefits package, avg about 45-50 hrs per week, more when it was busy. Vacation/PTO blackout during the summer. Pay differential for working nights (starting at 27/hr).
One potential negative is that Nestle is selling the water division, buyer unknown. So things could change. -
ncdriver1 Thanks this.

They had rumford and poland available, both were night shifts. The 27.10 was before the pay differential. You could switch shifts when they came up but its based on seniority. So if a night guy has been there longer than you and a day shift comes up he will get it. The start times varied, seemed like you could work your way to an earlier start time relatively quick.

Looks like they are selling to a NY based private equity.
Nestlé is in exclusive talks with a consortium of buyers led by US private equity firm One Rock Capital to sell its North American water business, which includes the Poland Spring and Pure Life brands, for about $4bn, said people briefed on the matter. The Swiss consumer goods giant has held talks with a number of buyers since June, including large European rivals, but the US private equity group, which is working with other backers, presented the highest bid during the sale process, those people said. It is unclear who One Rock is working with. One person briefed on the negotiations said the US private equity group was likely to sell off some of the brands immediately to other buyers. A deal could be agreed within weeks, one person said, as the two sides were finalising the agreement. The valuation of approximately $4bn for the division also includes debt. The talks were first reported by Reuters.
