    pnuematic are not hard work other then hooking up hoses. IT takes some time to learn how run the blower, trailer pressure, line pressure and product flow. YOU CANNOT leave or quit watching the pressure gauges or you will plug up or have a blow off. it takes 1 to 2 hours to pump off depending on pressure allowed at customer silo some say 7lbs or10lbs never go over what they tell you because you can blow up there equipment.Never open a hatch until the blowerline is discounted and airrelease valve is open. 1lb of air will kill you!!!!!! loading is very easy under 30 mins. Just remember rain snow wind cold you are outside while unloading.

    You will do fine :)

    On the bright side ... If for some reason you don't like pneumatics you can stay with Trimac and convert to Liquid Tank either way you are making a good decision . I'm 110% confident about that

    Don't worry in the slightest on that end

    Toby,

    You mentioned Dillon Transport. I know they haul a lot of liquid asphalt in my area, and it is seasonal. They are very busy in the summer months, and hardly work at all in the winter...

    Toby ,

    You will still go to the same school we all do in Houston also .. Tom ( the instructor ) is a very good guy and knows his stuff and they will have drivers come in and do some brief hands on even at the school ..

    I recommend you participate in the hands on and absorb all you can and ask 1000 questions ... They want you too

    You will feel 100 % better after you see it ..
