The Cryo Hauler Thread

Yup had an operator tell me years back what a full load of each product costs a customer and it was eye opening.

 

How much ?

 

I wanna say Nitrogen at the lowest was just under 10k and of course up from there.

 

I kind of figured. I usually look up the average price of liquid nitrogen and multiply it by 7,000 gallons and gives me around that amount. Up to 20k

 

Plus they lease the customer the tanks and charge for service etc it’s crazy money

 

I'm guessing trailers without a pony motor can get up to that. I was loaded about 500lbs away from 80k total. Got about 20 gallons away from 6k gallons in the tank

 

Depends on tractor weight, at the old job we ran Volvo daycabs and the LIN pony motor trailers got up to around 6800 gallons. When we went to the sleek hydraulic trailers with super singles you could load past 7k.

 

Yes. We have all day cab freightliners with super singles on both tractor and trailer and all hydraulic. We load to 79,300 lbs and that’s 7,100 gallons.

 

So I learned how to gravity unload today. Tank at the plant couldn't fit my discharge house. So was shown how to unload with pressure via the fill side. Did call someone at my company to make sure it was fine first. Because don't want to break anything with the trailer. I don't fully trust the plant operators saying it's fine

 

Yup been done many a time, our number one customer like that was SpaceX.
