    Would you guys say cryogenic is less dangerous than fuel?

    Absolutely not having hauled both, cryogenics can bite you in more than one way. With its temps -200 to -460 degree’s causing horrible burns and frostbite, It can displace the oxygen in the air and cause asphyxiation. When dealing with liquid oxygen if mixed with any grease, oil, or petroleum based product can cause an explosion if not handled correctly. When dealing with Liquid Hydrogen if it catches fire it typically burns clear and is easily ignited by static charge alone!

    Ain’t that the truth, and not dealing with the general public while offloading for the most part.

    I heard most you can pretty much arrive at anytime. So if want to deliver at 4am? It's fine. As long they don't see it as being late

    Most customers have telemetry like gas stations so dispatch has an idea of “run out” forecast we get our trip for the day sometimes multiple stop some just one and done.

    Oh and we usually have full access to sites so we can come and go without dealing with folks.
