    Really unlikely you will get cancer honestly unless your standing by the vent tubes and huffing vapors. Just stand upwind if the vent as much as you can and it will be fine. If your really concerned just get a particulate rated respirator for the situations you cant avoid the fumes.

    Congratulations on your move, I never begrudge someone else's reasons for moving on.

    That being said, I was OTR with TMC for a couple years, my dad was sick and I really wanted to be home. It was hard work, I loved that. I moved to locally hauling liquid cryogenics for about 8 months, I hated that job more than any other I've ever had! Then some things changed in my life, I let my CDL lapse and now I am kicking myself in the ##*. Now I really wish to be out on the road again.

    Stay safe driver(s), wherever you are and whatever you haul!

    I left Sysco for fuel hauling and never would or could look back. Congratulations. Nuff said.

    I went from food service to gas hauling in may of last year. Easy money. Put on 25 lbs in 2 months.​

    Benzene is most definitely a killer. If you smell fumes, move up wind.
