    It’s funny how before we had pony motor trailers and the noise was loud but not high pitched like all the new hydraulic units. But now it’s sweet running LHY trailers that have no pumps!

    The terminal I run out of is strictly LHY/GH2 and yes we make more than the LIN,LOX,LAR drivers.

    Ahhh. I see. I thought you were running all of them. I am thinking of transferring over to driving teams for hydrogen. Probably at the beginning of next year.

    You run hydrogen in day cabs?

    I am currently doing microbulk and it’s sooo different from bulk. We carry a remote that starts the pump and closes the recirculation valve automatically at the touch of a button.
    We can also pump off nitrogen at over 400. These trucks have bigger pumps too.
     
    Cali kid Thanks this.

    Yes day cabs, we had micro bulks at AP that were setup like that. That’s probably the only thing I didn’t get into. I would see how many stops those guys had and said na I’m good!

    I'm used to thermal king. So I spent awhile figuring out how to use it. Carrier makes it's more complicated then it needs to be
