    I really liked cryo a lot it was just the BS that I couldn't/wouldn't deal with at Linde. I actually had a countdown on my phones home screen to when I wanted to quit for something else. February of 2024. I wanted to stay a year plus the winter so I could start something different come spring.

    KAG Gasoline delivery only pays I think $26h but the specialty products(Merchant Gas) that you told me about earlier pays more so I applied for that. I used to work for KAG but got sideswiped and hurt. It put me out of trucking for 9 years. They are checking if I am able to be rehired or not. At $39h, weekends off and no co-driver they are the current front runner. Thanks for the tip.

    I decided to call KAG to see if I could get an update but the people I would need to talk to weren't there. The person I did talk to said my application was marked "not going forward" so there is a possibility that I'm not on the rehire list. I'll find out tomorrow one way or another. To bad to looked like a great fit for me.
    Who is KAGs competition in the SLC area? I would like to stay in this field if I could.
     
    Rugerfan and tscottme Thank this.

    I'm thinking KAG's competitor in SLC might be Pilot-Thomas Logistics, or is it Pilot Thompson Logistics? I think it's Thomas. The Marathon job looked pretty dang good are you ready to commute past the east side of the the airport? There is a lot of traffic between Tooele and SLC. Granted at night you might be commuting counter-flow. All of the fuel stuff is over there by I-215 & I-84. I've been to Tooele a few times and thought it was paradise. I even learned how to pronounce it correctly after the first trip.

    @scott180 --

    I thought KAG Merchant Gas would push you to the very top of their "hire" pile--once they saw you had just been trained/groomed by Linde.

    Who (else) wouldn't? :eek:

    You might update your application with KAG (but this time....with their "Merchant Gas" division)--as appropriate in their system. :oops:

    ~~~~~~~

    Past that--above, you also asked about KAG's cryo competition.

    The following do cryo duty work, in/around your area, as a 3rd-party contractor (but not as a direct producer).......& I think any of these would be much easier to work with, than Linde :rolleyes: :

    • Genox West (the "Genox" side is for the owner-ops)
    • LGT Transport (has both company drivers, and owner-ops)
    • Southern Pines Trucking (you guessed it--has company drivers, and also owner-ops)

    Since you've witnessed, first-hand.....the incredible levels of dysfunction that can exist in the cryo producer world--the above listed carriers thus have all the work they can handle--and more (including KAG's Merchant Gas). Each/any/all of these listed may indeed be going "full guns" in your area--& need more help.

    Or not.

    The REAL question in my mind is: will any of these give you a home-daily gig?

    You'll just have to submit apps with each/any/all of them--and inquire within afterwards.

    One or more of these may (or may not) have a terminal or satellite location that's not far away from you.

    Again--inquire within.....

    Marathon Petroleum app put in. I didn't see a recruiters number I could call for more information. If the home time is ok and they want me I might take it.

    I’d look at Maverik. They have decent rides and seem to be up on maintenance and it’s all their own stations.

    If you want OTR out of SLC or regional and work, consider Pride Transport, Gurney Transport or Associated Food stores based in SLC.
