    Anyone else work for this mess of a company? So I'm based out of the Linde plant in Braddock, PA. My truck and trailer says Linde on it. The trailer is owned by Linde, the tractor says owned and operated by Cryogenic Transport, with Kenan mudflaps. I originally got trained by Linde. Just came back from a week in Amarillo at Jack B Kelly to get my hands on something other than LIN, LAR, and LOX. Basically sat there doing nothing because I was dedicated Linde and JBK didn't want me touching anything. Starting to think I made a bad decision here.

    Good lord. Sounds like too many chiefs, not enough Indians type of deal.

    Well CTI is owned by KAG so I'm not surprised at all. They make a mess of every company they take over, they slaughtered the fuel hauler guys and now here they go with cryo.

    The name on the door or tractor is the rightful owner. Everybody else is leased to them. Your most likely a contract driver that your company loans out to the owner. You'd never know it unless you asked.

    It's a mess of company, but I don't think I'd want to haul anything else. Luckily that whole jbk training experiment was a failure and I was the last group to go through it. A new truck showed up today with kenan merchant gas group on the door.

    Sorry you're having such a tough time @btapper , hopefully things will turn around for you.

    I've never heard anything good about KAG - especially from our former chemical drivers who are now KAG drivers after the sale.
