The Cryo Hauler Thread

We’ve lost drivers due to failed backgrounds after doing all the interviews and road test. We’ve also missed out on good drivers because of the lengthy hiring process.

 

Based on where I live. Honestly no idea if I ever have a private one near me. I live in northern Maine. About a hour from Bangor. Only one I know of is Messer in Kittery.

 

I actually was close to not getting what I got now. They require 'Max 6 Jobs in the Last 3 Years'. I was close to having too many jobs.

 

Would the tractor that I'd be expected to drive be a manual or an automatic?

 

Automatic. I’ve only ever seen Messer with manuals

 

Hello and happy new year.
I have being looking for a new gig in trucking. One thing that drives me nuts in my job is that i do not do anything besides driving and watching offloadings. I started my truck life as a Tanker. Although I make good money with my actual job, over 100K easily and it is easy, doing nothing is making my brain soft and bored. Loved when I worked as a tanker and spend time outside, and you get a respect like you are a Navy Seal warrior, lol. Also, the only thing I enjoy in my actual job is that it is most regional driving, like, I do the same route weekly 95%.
So I wonder how hard is to learn to work as a cryo driver, how hard is to learn to offload lox as an exemple. By experience I know that depends on me and time in doing often. My real question is more on mental work than manual work.
Thanks.

 

It’s not hard but it does take around 6 months or more to feel comfortable with what you’re doing. You’re always learning new things because every single customer has a different type of tank. It does get repetitive at times when they send you to the same customers over and over.

 

But to actual learn the job, I say a few weeks
