    It's not just the Cyro guys that visit this thread. I'm a tanker yanker but have never did Cyro. But it has always interested me and I have learned a lot and will keep following the thread. I thank all of you for your posts here.

    No problem and that is what this thread is all about. Sharing all of our experiences work related and otherwise. I myself have been trucking now going on 15yrs. Done experienced alot as many of us have from driving for a mega, mom and pops, FedEx teams, tanker running oil, chem, fuel, and now cryo. It’s a lot of knowledge and if I can help a driver with what I’ve learned over the years in anyway that’s fantastic!

    Yup, I love this thread because we have guys from most of the cryo companies and can share how each company differs and what’s going on with work.

    Segue! I like that word! I was thinking of changing my handle now that I'm part of the cryo universe. I was considering "Threadkiller" but 'Segue' has a nice ring to it.

    Hell, I'm a milkhauler now(again) and this is the thread I visit the most. The People here are wonderful and very supportive. funny the other guy had to throw an attempted insult as he announced his departure that no one noticed or cared about. Cryo was an amazing experience and I could handle Portland, I'd still be doing it.

    So today I saw heading north in Maine. Air products, Messer and Praxair. The air products was a sleeper. Must of been each hauling something else. Or helping out Messer.

    Also place I just started at. In orientation was told because of rates. They started hauling things they have never done. Like road tac (which orientation guy said was asphalt. But I don't think that's in a tank). Was almost tempted to mention cryo. But I don't see them wanting to shell out $500k+ for the tanker. Especially if they want more than one.

    Especially if they see the price tag on LH2 trailer over a million $$

    Just heard my old Boss from KAG, took a new job working for Airgas in CT. He'd been with Kag for decades

    Darren Taylor, used to run the entire mid-eastern lanes for cryo.

    Reached out to him today to keep up and see if he needed a tractor, he told me the news.
