Hauling cryogenics is kind of interesting, other than the temps (to me anyway) , its like pumping off water. For me anyway, hauling pressurized gases and caustics is a bit more involved and interesting to me.BennysPennys, lual and kemosabi49 Thank this. -
Care to share any examples of these pressurized gases?

Propane for one.. working with pressures in the neighborhood of 200-225 psi pressures can be pretty tricky.

and that can cause accidents, death, a hit to the company’s safety record, a black eye on your driving record, etc.
My personal suggestion to any new drivers that want long term success in cryo: do 9 -12 months of local LTL freight work first, then apply to cryo companies (you’ll appreciate it more, and would’ve experienced enough tight maneuvering to prepare you for cryo)LilRedRidingHood and Chinatown Thank this. -
Wasn’t trying to go on a rant, just saying you can get quality training when they hire you…
I don’t know of any cryo training other than going to a big bulk plant that has fillers and applying to be a fillerLilRedRidingHood and Chinatown Thank this.
