The Cryo Hauler Thread

Is there anyone particular Cryo company by reputation that's better than the other? Whether that be in terms of work culture, reputed for micromanaging or easily terminating their employees, benefits and pay, etc.

 

In my opinion.
(Linde/Praxair) and Air Products are the top companies to work for. Then it’s (Airgas/Air Liquide) or Messer and at the bottom you have Matheson. I might be forgetting one but those are the major one’s.

 

I’ve loaded at Praxair, Matheson and Airgas. Airgas was the most pleasant, very willing to help load me. Then Praxair, they seemed very stuck up lol. Maybe cause I am from Air Products. And at the worst plant I’ve ever loaded was Matheson, I never want to go back there. They seem so miserable and in a rush to get out of there. Plus all they did was complain the whole time I was there.

 

Based on the 2 ones I have been at. Seems fine. But that's 2 out of hundreds maybe. One really did want you wearing hard hat and etc while near the back of the trailer while loading. But that's honestly what you should be doing

 

Actually one of the guys that trained me. Said Matheson wanted them to work for them. Not SPT. But he declined because he knows he is at a better place

 

In general, what would you say an average day for a cryo driver would be like?
For example, how many delivery stops could be made within a shift/day, is it all daytime deliveries, or are night shifts available? With all of that said, would these involve 10-hour days, or up to 14 hour days?

 

Im new here but i got bits of info here and there from you some weeks back before i joined the company and im in the same postion as you man. Just sittin around but also doin drop and hooks here and there.
