    Yeah when I was at AP teams were treated like gold. But when you see the actual numbers it’s crazy good!

    Also need to know how to back from my experience. But currently seems a tad easier than a 53' van. Then again I was told oxygen loads are in harder spots.

    So this week was all drop and hooks. This spot I saw was easy. Drop trailer on the side of the road. Then move stores trailer. Drop it then bring in new trailer. It's close to a straight back. But was told some have issues with it. I don't see how. Unless my about 5+ years of experience is kicking in. Screenshot_20231228-194814.png

    To me it’s the other way around. I feel like backing up a tanker is a little harder. Doesn’t snake as well as a 53

    That’s why all the private fleets run daycabs you should see some of the freaking places we have to put these trailers. Hospitals which Airgas is know for doing are notorious for putting LOX tanks in tight spots.

    Yeah but you have zero overhang of the tail to worry about. I’ll take a tank over a dry van all day.

    Anyone know of a good pair of gloves I can buy? Because ones I was given as ok. But they tend to let cold in if I keep my hands on the hose for too long. I was looking at welding gloves. Since was told ones I was given is that. But didn't want to risk wasting money.

    We use the MCR Safety 4730 welding gloves. Just looked them up online, they are pretty expensive. Lol. We switch them out like it’s nothing.
    Try to get some from the guys where you load out of
