    I only have experience with them from the side of getting industrial gasses from them for the machine shop I worked at years ago. I see lots of their tanks running Hazmat though.

    The drivers we talked to on about a weekly basis seemed happy. That was at least 4 years ago now though. I don't know if things have changed or how they have changed since then.

    I can only quote Houston from friends. Good co., good benny's and you can retire from there. Uses satelites and knows everything.

    Run 14 and 70 if the work is there, which it usually is. No preference given for wknds, holidays etc. until you've built some serious time. Customer base is 24 / 7 and so are you.

    Your terminal may be different.......may not.

    Bluegoose, have you ever worked with pressurized air products?

    I have not. But I do pull tankers, both liquid and dry bulk, and I live in down here on the Mississippi among all these chemical factories that use those companies, so I know some drivers who do it.

    The thing to know is this, the money is good and they are real jobs, not scams.

    Your personality is very important, though, because the work is very detail oriented. Tons of safety! Everything is safety with them and they will fire you at the drop of a hat for safety violations.

    Positive is good money, good equipment, and good working conditions. Negative is you will be dreaming about Safety.

    Hope that helps and good luck.
