    One more thing.... Is tanker experience required to get in the door at Linde? I applied for the job at Linde about a week ago and recruiter sent me a text asking if I have at least 2 years of tanker experience. I only have 4 years of experience pulling 48' trailer and doubles.

    This is what she wrote to me...

    She is supposed to call me on Monday for a "phone screening interview".

    @Fuelinmyveins --

    Do keep us posted on how your Linde phone interview goes.

    The Linde ads that I've seen read, "2 years tanker experience -- OR -- 3 yrs T/T exp."

    Most don't stay or last because of the strict safety culture and the hours/days off.
    Once you learn the routine it's just a matter of doing the right thing all the time. Learned behavior. Was easy for me. Just needed to put in the time to get a good start time or days off you can deal with.2 in a row.
    Most here had no tank experience. You will be trained on operation.
    Hard to not do 100K+
    The cameras don't bother me. I ain't doing anything I shouldn't but if eating a candy bar was against rules I'd be gone long ago..lol

    BTW We only bid once annually. Started w a 5pm then 7pm then midnight. 4th year got a 1pm then a 9:30am. At 9 years got a 10am w fri and sat off. Will start my 13th year here in a couple of weeks. Best schedule is by guys w at least 15 yrs. We are a 24/7/365 operation so you will work holidays too for the first 8 or so but it's double time and a half.

    How strict do they get with the cameras? When I was at Northstar chemical, we’d deliver KOH and caustic and cut acid down to Linde in White city. The guy that talks with you while you offload was telling me that at the time in 2020-2021, they were cracking down on guys for even eating or drinking in the cab.

    I can understand eating but staying probably hydrated is important for health and mental clarity.

    We had a guy caught on camera steering w the knee while eating a bowl of salad w a fork.
    He was given a stern talking to...
    I eat a sandwich, chips,fruit, dessert and milk while driving, all one hand/bite at a time. Never have I heard a word.

    Are you allowed to talk on the headset while driving? How about having gps attached to the windshield?

    Do you get paid extra $ for working on a holiday? Air Products driver once told me that he gets paid $375 just for showing up to work on a holiday.

    No phone period.
    GPS is OK
    My holiday pay is about 1400 for a full shift. Which is double time and a half.

    The no phone period is a major deal killer. I don’t see the problem If someone is using Bluetooth.
