    I know my answer is probably in here some where but after looking for a while my eyes are tired. give the choice which do you think is the better company to drive for? (My husband has experience as a bulk driver for Airgas.)

    thank you in advance.

    Which division?? The tanker side or delivering to their warehouses?? I know the tanker side can be pretty good for both but if given my preference, I'd choose Praxair first.

    I'm with AL and from what I understand we make a little more than Prax. I could be wrong on that though. It is pretty good money.

    I'm with AL out of the San Francisco Bay Area and we make really good money but it costs the world to live around here so go figure.

    Praxair was run by Ryder Logistics around here but they just lost the contract to Ruan. I know Ryder is cheap. I worked for them for 7 years. Not sure about Ruan.

    Good Luck!

    Air Liquide is alot more stable around here. Praxair hires and then lays off, then hires and then lays off. But both make really good money with Air Lquide being the lesser, but with more stable employment

    Air Liquide is good for about 75k per year but you'll live at work for that and run your ### off.

    Every terminal is wildly different as far as pay and runs. I'd find out about a particular terminal before you sign on. I worked in Martinez California and Houston Texas and they are both good for about 75k per year.

    Unfortunately, my old terminal is being sold. Martinez California.

    I remember made a delivery at air liquid in Martinez and a guy told me that they were making about 90k a year is that true?

    Depends on several factors but I would say average pay is any where from 67-75k a year. If you run teams I've known guys to make 116k per individual so yes, 232k for the two man team.. If you want more info let me know and I'll send you a personal message.
