    We have to carry a respirator although I've ONLY ever had to use it at a load point when I was in Arizona a couple months back. It was mandatory to load there. However I have never had to use it anywhere else. It's just a CYA measure for the company.

    Had to shave the "goat". The wife had a memorial and was depressed for a month. LOL.

    Acid and caustic. Have never had to break it out other than down there. :biggrin_25512:

    Was down running from Globe to Safford for a couple months on temporary assignment. Was burning up my 70 every week. :biggrin_25519: :biggrin_25519::biggrin_25519: We liked it down there. But then again it wasn't summer yet. LOL LOL LOL

    The wife and I are ACTUALLY trying to get to (move) Northern Florida HOPEFULLY around next Christmas.

    Not to get in to your business but I would not recommend it. Florida is full of bugs just like the whole South. I tell you I came here to Mississippi from San Diego, CA and I am moving back this summer living here is practically impossible for 6 months out of the year we got so many bugs. I can't wait to go back to my nice dry dessert with a beach.

    So with yanking tanks - are you supplying power only? Or are all tanker jobs straight company employment?
