Cryogenic Haulers O/O

I wouldn't run bobtail for that. It's ridiculous. That's barely getting by money.

 

Right now rates are good, which makes it easy. But at some point they will drop.

 

I’m confused. I work for Genox and make great money and don’t work hard at all. Pay depends on which customer you work for. At $1.18 a mile and you run 3500 miles a week plus unloading and loading times plus fuel surcharge, you can make money. But you have to want to work. If you need to be home every week, you won’t make money. I started with them in January and I’ve made 6 figures at least.

 

I call bovine excrement. You have barely GROSSED six figures.
37 weeks so far this year. 37 x 1.18 x 3,500 = $152,810.

Fuel alone would be about $50,000.
Maintenance / depreciation close to $40K.

Unless accessory pay is close to half your mileage pay, you would have done better as a company driver.

 

Didn't Fort sell out kenan? If they did I would be cautious

 

They don’t want to share the wealth with the owner operators…. That $1.18 is a insult. Especially now. You can get $3 a mile almost anywhere.

 

Cryo pays top dollar. Genox is getting a great rate to pull the loads. But they aren't offering the L/P guys a whole lot. I've heard many horror stories about Genox. And they say thats why the current owner of LGT left genox to start her own company. Because of some of the B/S that was going on back then.

Argon and liquid hydrogen pays the most. Like $5 a mile at times. While CO2 and Nitrogen are cheaper. But more needed. And LOX is in the middle. But its highly needed at hospitals since the Rona outbreak. So there's a big need for the freight.

However Genox, Southern Pines, LGT, US Cryo, CTI/Keenan, or another 3rd party carriers of cryogenic freight are doing pretty good right now. Because the private cryogenic carriers/producers can't keep drivers at all.

 

Nail on the head

I’m at genox now, have been for over a year. Since Lonnie’s dumb ### got in Mike’s seat, and Kevin let his wife take the other half of the reins, this place has gone to hell.

Avoid genox like the plague. Only reason I haven’t left is because I am incredibly lazy and getting another job is a pain in the ### I don’t feel like dealing with.

Probably heading to LGT next spring, just grinning and bearing it through the winter.
