Cryo companies after all the mergers...who's good to work for?

Northstar Chemical is looking for a driver in Tacoma. J

 

Praxair

 

Air Products and Praxair sure keeps advertising for team drivers. I think the hydrogen hauling is about to boom.

 

It is.

 

What's max age these companies would accept new drivers:
1. Air Liquid
2. Praxair
3. Air liquide
4. Messer
5. Ruan

Thanks

 

I don't know that there is a maximum age to work in the cryogenic field.
That may be considered discriminatory.
If you hold the license and can pass a physical I'd think you would be eligible to be hired.
In this field they value experience.
I was 52 when I got hired and am looking at my 65th next year.

 

Hi, Thanks for replying

What I was refering to was that the older you get, the less companies are willing to invest in you and train you, knowing that you might only work for them , say 10 years, before you are going to be retiring.

They might not be saying this loud , but those that hire you might be told not to employ drivers over certain age.

The other thing they might be worried about is that the older you get the more you are going to be susceptible to getting sick, taking time off because of some sickness and maybe even getting some serious sickness which might put pressure on their sickness fund.

 

Age discrimination can apply in any field and when it happens they can't tell you that's the reason. Currently workers are hard to come by so everyone qualified has a decent chance to be hired imho

 

I've taken a look at Air Products website, and they have some local jobs and when they say "the average annual income is$......" how many hours per week, or month is this for?
They seems to always advertise , what would be the reason for it? Can't keep drivers for some reason?
Thanks

 

Most likely because you're at the bottom of the list you'll work nights weekends and holidays 1st

I Average 60 hours per week and do about 120 K per year
