    A tanker for stuff other than liquids. Cement, flour, sand, fly ash that type of stuff. You unload by building up air pressure. More entertaining and less dangerous than hazmat liquids/gases

    As an interesting turn of events I found out a local propane company in my area is looking for a driver. I brought in my resume today and the owner happened to be there. I talked with him for a while and it pretty much looks like I have the job. Full benefits and retirement.

    I'll keep you posted on my journey.
