    Obviously, this guy has a sense of humor. Or maybe somewhat delusional.

    Hey mad_hatter, it really is tough which company to go with, kind of like picking potato chips or ice cream. There's so many to choose from, some are better than others, but they all do about the same thing. If you can talk with a driver from the company, I've found that's about the best way. I look at CL and see 150 transport job postings, and think to myself, how can someone pick one?

    Powder unloads out the hose about 15 minutes a trailer on pups, semi 45 min. Out the bottom 3 to 5 minutes. Loading 54-56000 lbs in less than 6 minutes.

    Liquid in the powder train is fasters to nload a few minutes longer to load

    From what I have seen ken advantage their equipment looks like its modern in good condition ,don't have any first hand knowledge of them , I have pulled tanker its really no harder than anything else just need to be a little more cautious on curves and braking ect.I think tanks are easier to back than vans but that's just my opinion,
