    Anyone have info on LGT Transport or anhydrous ammonia?
    They're not loading around here best of my knowledge.
    Must be a well traveled lane or some of the bigger farms, I don't recall seeing trucks.
    I tried to screenshot the add but I can't get it to post.

    Anyway just curious, there is not a lot here in the Alexandria/Pineville area, seemed odd

    I can ask a guy I use to work with that recently went over there.

    I didnt take the job at the time because they wanted me to do cryo until they got more LP work. And I'm done with cryo.

    That'd be great if you talk to him. Just trying to be tactical and have a fall back position if need be. Appreciate it

    Ok the LPG dept at LGT is still somewhat new. They mainly have Anhydrous Ammonia runs that are regional. He said the have a few propane and or butane runs. But they are trying to get more work. The anhydrous is loaded up somewhere in LA. Then deliveries are made to sulfur, Baytown, and airgas.

    He also mentioned the main issue right now. Is LGT doesn't have enough trucks. They have trucks on order. But who knows when thes orders will be filled. They have some company trucks here and there, but LGT is mainly lease purchase.

    Hopes this helps you out. Several of my previous coworkers have left Linde to go to Genox and LGT.

    Groendyke which bought out McKenzie hauls anhydrous ammonia and dimetholamines from Florida out to the northwest and Midwest in high pressure trailers. It’s a good run but hard to get on since those drivers won’t give it up.
