    Thanks for taking the time to give me your opinions on petro or powder! I appreciate you all taking the time. How exactly did we get on transformer oil? lol I have always loved this site for all the experience and different backgrounds that everyone brings and shares. Thanks again.

    By the way, it was a hard decision, but I went with pneumatic. My goal has always been to run fuel locally, but the pneumatic just seemed liked the way to go for now, mostly because of the company and the fact they called me first. I'm sure I will always question it lol, but I will start my training tomorrow with pneumatics and put my heart and soul into it. Thanks again for your post and suggestions.

    Good luck! I have been pulling pneumatics for almost three years now and I love it! The company I work for also hauls liquid, anti-freeze, washer fluid, brake fluid, and a few other liquids. For the dry bulk side we haul plastic pellets and powders, cement and sugar. They offered to train me on liquid, but there is no difference in pay from hauling dry bulk. The best thing about dry bulk is once its in the trailer it does not move. Also you don't have to deal with hazmat bs. Will you be top loading cement? We load it out of rail cars. Pressurize the rail car and blow it into the trailer. I have not loaded a cement trailer yet, but the process
    looks very dusty lol. I think you will really like pulling pneumatics
