    As a veteran cryo driver I would tell you to stay in the freight hauling sector.
    Based on your posts I don't believe you possess the critical thinking skills required to be successful in this sector

    Interesting. I had another guy mention I'm too much of an anorak that I'd make for a good commercial pilot.

    I appreciate it.

    Don't take it personally as it is simply a interweb observation.
    And I'm not saying you can't.

    I'm not an expert but I do see what allows a driver succeed when, at least at our plant, has a 50% wash out rate. Good luck with whatever you decide upon.

    I saw at a chip warehouse I was delivering to had a tiny nitrogen tank. What would a place like that need nitrogen?

    Couldn't say for sure , but i'm betting that they use it in the small bags of chips to replace oxygen

    Nitrogen keeps the chips crisp and fresh longer. Same thing with packaged meats. The Nitrogen is pumped into the package to displace regular air. And keeps the food item from going rotten so quick.

    Those meat packages of ground turkey with for example. Where the meat is on the bottom. And it looks like plastic air bubble. Those type are full of Nitrogen. So the next time you grab a bag of crisp lays potato chips. Thank the good ppl at the ASU plant. And the drivers that delivered the medical grade Nitrogen to the Lays warehouse.

    Mircrobulk tanks. Usually high pressured and filled by Microbulk drivers.

    Hate filling those because they take so long to drop the pressure then build it back up after you're done. Takes as long or even longer to fill than a full load to a bulk tank.

    I filled many perma cell tanks and found them to be quick and easy. Simply because we could never pump against that kind of pressure so we just turned off the PB, blew them down and filled.
    Customers sometimes needed to be informed prior to the fill though.
    Such small vessels are easier to control imho.
    I can be in and out in 20 minutes.
