I am trying to determine how close you need to live to the terminal in order to run team hydrogen.
In the Air products hydrogen team driver video, the driver is out of Gray, Tennessee right next to the terminal in Kingsport Tennessee. But, that terminal only has Lin, Lox, Lar. Are those drivers taking a load of nitrogen down to New Orleans or La Porte Texas in order to pick up hydrogen? Or are they just deadheading all the way down there for a load of hydrogen? How can you be from Tennessee and run team hydrogen?

Depends how bad they need team drivers and how long you will stay out. When I was a local driver for AP the cut off was 50 miles from terminal. I moved a year after being hired on, that put my commute at about 60miles. Nobody cared, we also had one team driver that lived in AZ but commuted to CA. That team out of Tennessee would probably run down to La port or Louisiana to pickup a trailer. Most hydrogen trailers are preloaded unlike regular cryo where the driver does the loading.Last edited: Nov 24, 2025

This right here.
So that Tennessee team ran back during Covid when everyone was leaving to be an owner operator so they needed drivers really bad.
But now you must live within 1 or 2 hours from a hydrogen plant or until they need drivers badly again.Friend, Loose Caboose and Cali kid Thank this. -
Covid was a definitely a crazy time in cryo, I remember I was at AP back then. We didn’t have the massive amount of hospitals that AG had. Those guys were running mad six days a week but getting paid outstanding bonuses for it.viper822004 Thanks this.

As far as I can tell, the Linde hydrogen plant in Niagara falls scheduled to open in 2025 still has not opened. Does anybody know anything about that? I would be interested in moving to that part of the United States for a good job.
Friend and viper822004 Thank this. -
I don’t see anything about them canceling that plant probably just waiting till next year to complete it. I know plug power had plans for green hydrogen out of New York as well but cancelled all of those “green hydrogen” plans.Friend, Loose Caboose and viper822004 Thank this.

Weight savings, maneuverability, or both.Friend Thanks this.

Are all products paid at different rates within a particular company? Does hydrogen get paid more per hour than helium which is more than Lin Lox Lar which is more than CO2?
Friend and viper822004 Thank this. -
That all depends on location at AP I was able to do LIN,LOX,LAR and GH2 but didn’t get any additional pay but had more work than I could handle. Left to shorten my commute by half and gave myself a $5hr pay raise and went to strictly LH2/GH2Friend, viper822004 and scythe08 Thank this.
