The Cryo Hauler Thread

So from what it sounds like. Those videos are pretty much my orientation. Their planning on getting me up and running ASAP. Could be because of the account I will be doing. Like they don't expect needing 2 full days down in Massachusetts.

 

What kind of engine is that? Those look like some really thick heads and some really tall valve covers.

 

Looks like a LS?

 

Typical 10 hour day for me is

1.5-2 hours for Pretrip and load

Drive 170 miles to customer

1.5-2 hours to offload

Drive 170 hours back

30 min fuel and post trip.

All at 65 mph and add 1 hour for any traffic or customer delays.

 

Sad day at the plant.
Just learned we are going w Bridgestone tires on the trucks and trailers.
We've been new Michelins since I started and just went to trailer recaps about 6 yrs ago.
Said it could save 3 grand for each rig.
Hope it doesn't cause any issues.

We've had several trucks here w Bridgestone singles and recall getting stuck on ice and light snow many more times than the Michelins.
I'm sure somebody o mayber AI calculated the savings but can't factor in the tow costs..lol

 

Someone probably had a great salesman convince them it's a better deal also. Which they used slides created with info generated by AI

 

Its LS based but all aftermarket parts. The thicker heads are Frankenstein Boost Monster's to withstand higher cylinder pressure. The block is a thicker version from Dart. To take more abuse than stock. The valve covers are a hidden coil pack design. The actual valve cover isn't that tall. I just like to make them pretty little screamers!

 

Chased a Genox with a Hydrogen trailer for about an hour on I5 today, down by Salem, Or. Really wanted to chat with him, as we pulled into the loves in Albany at the same time. But he was more interested in taking his break on the fuel island than chatting. Havent seen them up here before. The past 2 weeks, Ive seen more sleeper trucks from EVERYONE, than I have since I first got into cryo a few years ago.

 

I promise the only reason he has those retractable running boards on his truck is because he lives in the southern part of Texas where it will not freeze them up!
