Well, let's see....@Dennixx....chime in, please...if you disagree...or have observed otherwise:
- It's nights, weekends, and holiday work (when you start out with them)--tough shifts, especially for newbies. It's a long time, in many cases, before you get access to anything close to a "normal" workday. Most up-and-coming drivers now don't have the moxie for it.
- Upper management and/or the safety depts at the cryo suppliers/producers are simply too anal about safety--you can apparently be fired even for simple, one-time infractions.
- Here's another one--I'm seeing that, in at least some cases, some of the fuel haulers are making more money that the cryo crowd. That's a problem I've noticed in my area of the "deep south".

But while at Airgas, they would hire anyone asap.
And now that Air Products has driver facing cameras. I hear from the guys that haven't quit. That AP will take whom ever they can get.
However to me starting with a cryo company is far better than Schneider. Or any other unorganized rinky dink OTR tanker company that doesn't really teach anything.Another Canadian driver, tscottme, Dennixx and 1 other person Thank this. -

Air Products won’t hire you unless you have 3 years of driving experience. But they do hire if you don’t have tanker experience, they will train you.
