    So pretty much last couple of deliveries. All trainer did was back up the trailer. Because it's connected to their truck. And handle paperwork. I did pretty much all of the unloading process. They just checked on it every now and then.

    Did learn Pepsi uses liquid nitrogen for some reason

    I did learn from my trainer and another driver. To kind of avoid Airgas. Looks like they love sending out someone to watch you work from a distance and write notes. Like what should I be doing when unloading and everything is staying where it should be? Do they not understand what their company does?

    All major cryo companies do observations, if you’re doing as you do in training it’s nothing to worry about. Cones,chocks,PPE delivery procedures etc…

    I just heard Airgas does it more. I have only experienced Matheson so far

    Well looks like I will be dealing with oxygen. I heard it's pretty much the same. Going to be dealing with it in Florida for Matheson

    Actually not doing oxygen. Matheson said to keep it nitrogen. Still my first time being solo and I'm sent to Florida
     
    Cali kid and viper822004 Thank this.

    So I can tell the company makes a lot of money off cryomatics. Based the amount of distance to travel for anything.

    Went from Virginia to Pennsylvania to grab a trailer. Then went down to Georgia to load. But it failed the sample. So then Matheson is sending me to Mississippi to load instead. Since they can purge if needed there. Then going to Florida. Because I heard their plant is down. So I'm loading it up for them.

    And you get paid for everything. That’s what I love about cryo.
