The Fuel Hauler Thread

Yea I heard that either honda or toyota were giving away 20k miles worth of free hydrogen or something like that. Pretty good deal. Plus you and I the California tax payer also helped pay for the cost of their cars because they are subsidized.

Will be interesting to watch the landscape change over the next 10-20 years. Although there is a major auto loan bubble going on right now with tons of negative equity and 8+ year high interest loans and when that bursts I think it will hurt automotive progress a bit. We'll see.

 

This might not be related but I keep thinking there has to be an end to the prices of vehicles now days. They are just stupid high.

 

Finally gave up the fuel hauling life. Got on with a union cryo outfit. M-F DAYSHIFT!!!! Start at 630 everyday, do about 10 hours. Pension, 401k, top pay. Been paying my dues on nights forever to get on this so called dayshift. Only downside is that I’m a cylinder kicker for a few years until the senior guys retire and give up the gravy runs. No matter how long we’re at it, we’re always paying our dues. But to us drivers in our early thirties, we get to be those senior drivers one day.

 

You got that right. Loving the cryo side. No driver at this barn works a weekend and everyone is dayshift. Clean honest work. I hope I’m here for the next 35 years. I’ll never go back to fuel if I’ve got anything to do with it.

 

welcome to the union club. I don’t do cryo but going union has doubled my pay.

 

Everyone going union or at least paying time and a half has doubled my pay too!! Let the rates keep climbing
