    Is delivering propane tanks from a bay delivery trailer a hard job? How many hours can i get? I'm talking about delivering propane tanks and swapping propane tanks... How many miles do you drive per day? Are the trucks mostly automatic or do they still use manual shift trucks?

    Contrary to what Hank Hill thinks, propane is usually a low paying job. It's why they can never keep drivers, shlepping that hose to the "back 40". I'd have to think picking up and delivering tanks would be an even worse job. "Where's the tank again"? Good rule of thumb, there's a job opening for a reason,,,;)

    If you wanted to know propane come down to 64 west west of US67 here. There is two railcar sized propane holding with many smaller tanks. YOU pooch fuel from that to your truck and deliver to a home. Little ones or to say a hospital or better yet a metal works foundry.

    When Arkansas has ice storms, Governor likes to declare a emergency to keep Hank Hill driving propane to all the people raging on the phone that they are out and cannot cook nothing. They get charged 250 dollars a drop. Hank Hill has no choice but to keep rolling round the clock until he drops. No logs no nothing. Just going to thousands of homes in the storm.

    It all depends in the company. The haz rules apply.
