    Nothing specific. Just the usual cryo training.

    What is the lowest pressure you can have CO2 at while offloading?

    I am unloading with pressure since my pump won’t come on

    I'm an LP guy not cryo, but the pressure in your trailer would have to be higher than the pressure in the receiving tank. The smaller the differential the longer it will take to unload.

    Sorry. I didn’t explain myself.

    So in CO2 there’s a certain pressure you can’t let your tank go under or the CO2 will freeze.

    You also have to be careful when unloading it and how you open the valves or it will immediately turn your hoses into a block of ice.

    I figured this is what you we’re getting at although I have never delivered CO2 I have heard of the ice build up if not done correctly and how it can be dangerous.

    Since it might help get me loads. Going to do TWIC stuff next Wednesday. It's forcing me to stay home a day longer than I wanted. Because nearest center isn't open until then. Unless I want to drive over a hour just for that. Don't want another week sitting. I have seen how much money a whole week earns. I need it. It pays a few hundred over when I got around 3k+ miles when earning cpm

    Maybe you already mentioned this but why not look for the major carriers like LGT and GENOX?
    They’re the ones that stay busy because it’s who the big cryo companies use when they need help. They always stay busy
     
    lual Thanks this.

    I see GENOX trucks at every plant I have been at. But the amount of trucks I see. Feels a little bit more on the mega side. Also Southern Pines has nicer trucks. Will see though if anything changes. Also GENOX shoved a ad on my Facebook after I had a date for orientation at Southern Pines. Showing a route in Maine.....
