    That is more than likely for airgas nitrogen services, purge work, its a good gig if you dont mind being gone from home. its not rest and roll.

    Thanks, I talked to the wife about it and she pretty much shot that job down. She doesn’t want to move to Odessa. If it was Houston or DFW then she wouldn’t mind moving.

    I can't say I blame her for that. I don't even like going to Odessa in the truck just to pick up a load.

    Does that gig give you cryo experience or not really because its nitrogen services?

    You would get more experience than your average ASU driver. You would be operating pumpers, bulk cryo trailers and fuel trailers. That position is mostly an operator position with less driving than a typical bulk driver. It comes with long hours and also on call work as not all work is scheduled but instead an emergency.

    Thanks, I was browsing Reddit about the job. And someone posted their pay being a pump operator. His pay rate was $22.50/HR but lot of OT getting paid by bi-weekly. That pay rate seems rather low for that type of work especially if you have to up and move to a new state.

    Like most jobs depends on where you’re based out of. Those guy are married to the job though and when the work rolls in you must be willing and able. When I was at AirProducts I use to deliver Liquid Nitrogen to those guys when they would be working refineries locally in SoCal . AirProducts calls that division “APEX” and none of those guys complained about hours, if anything it was home time.
