    I have hauled a lot of loads that have a nitrogen blanket. And they always had a tag on both the dome lid and the unload valve. We were also required, company policy, to write on both the dispatch and the BOL nitrogen in big red letters.

    When the Matlack terminal I worked at replaced their air compressor they installed a screw compressor with a dessicant system.

    We then stopped N2 purge of clean trailers going to load transformer oil.

    Instead we got an electric hydrometer and purged with the dry air until the dew point was -50 degrees and stopped using the N2.

    The shop guys also noticed an improvment in their air tools too.
