Anybody here haul liquid propane?

I'd call ya nuts, but that's just me!

I put that right up there with pulling a fuel tanker . . . there isn't enough money in the world to get me to drag a mobile bomb!

If it's anything like pulling tanker, easy on your take offs and stops. My dad told me that much!

 

Hauling LPG is a piece of cake. Toughest part of the job is "dragging your hose all over town". Will you be doing residential deliveries? Always chock the wheels!

 

But ya gotta remember that the best trucker stories start out with 'Y'all ain't gonna believe this . . . '!

I know ya was just having a bit of fun! So was I!

If you can be at home every night and make good money, go for it!

 

Easy job, load # the terminal I assume (be sure to ALWAYS attach ground cable and chock wheels) and go house to house/drop tp drop. I believe you have to do a declining tally of your tank contents so every time you deliver 100 gallons you delete that on your paperwork from the original loaded volume. You do this so that if there is an incident they know exactly how much LPG is left in the tank. Remember, the more you take out of the tank the more the LPG left in the tank will slosh and cause you to move at times. Toughest part of the job is dragging your hose through the snow. Propane will freeze skin so ALWAYS wear safety glasses and gloves.

 

Are you plan on running as a delivery driver or bulk transport. I ran LPG bulk transport(18 wheeler for 1 1/2 years.) I loved it, It was the easiest loading and unloading I have ever done. Hook up a vapor and product hose, start the pump open some tank valves and let it role. The challenging part is getting in and out of the delivery sites. There like obstacle courses and calculating temp and gravity to get 80.000 on your truck without going over. Off couse I was a gasoline tanker driver for 10 years before that. Good luck.
