The Cryo Hauler Thread

I'd love to sit down and have lunch with him! The longest I've ever stayed at one place was 6 years. I average 2 years. I get bored and want to learn new things and its the best way to up your pay(in my experience) Cryo is a different area , of course.

 

That driver was around when they were still hauling via covered wagons!

 

And pulling them with mule teams.

 

Does food grade tanker count as “tanker” experience in the cryogenic world?

 

Any tanker experience is a plus but not required in this field. Everyone gets trained

 

Just curious because i believe Linde was advertising 3 years experience or 2 if you have tanker experience to get hired.

 

Having some tanker experience can make you a little familiar with tankers of where tankers can go to deliver product(Plants and factories and the challenges of navigating tank farms and the odd ball customers that take 10 pull ups to get your darn tank swung over enough to get near the fill line. and how they handle and the unique characteristics of them versus Someone with no experience, but its not drastic. You go through extensive training and you wont be released until your trainer is satisfied you know your stuff and can handle your equipment. Linde doesnt mess around, as I'm sure the others dont either.

 

I saw a comment in here that Kenan Advatage group was the swift of the tanker, I saw they have an energy division and just curious if that’s a true statement?

 

I wanted to upload a video of a kag driver I observed at a customer. He got out and hooked up with no ppe at all. And just kept hammering on the fitting. If that wasn't swift like, then what is?

 

Was thinking of getting into cryogenic hauling, but from what I've gathered from this thread, almost every waking hour is working, subject to HOS limits, of course. Is there such a thing as a 40 to 55 hour week in this industry?
