What's it like to deliver propane as either a home delivery driver or a cylinder delivery driver?

Carry wasp spray with you and lift those tank lids carefully!
Wasps love to build nests there .
Pesky dogs that wanna piece of you ? ...no problem just crack open the fill hose aim and fire ....this is also effective on wasps .
Good luck !

 

Rattlesnakes, too. Snakes love to burrow in around the tanks.

#### it, those censors get me every time.

A fun side effect of said sensor is trying to figure out what word is being blocked. It catches a lot of words that aren't swears.

Oh an don't smoke while dropping propane, might upset people if you blow something up.

Concrete Cowboys !, try being a "Crude Oil Driver" in the middle of the Texas Desert when a sniff of H2S gas can kill you inside of 15 seconds, or where a swam of "Camel Spiders" can attack you or have your "Bowie Knife" at the ready when you turn and have a Texan "Wild Boar" looking you in the eye, or a Bear after going to the rest area bathroom in Utah, Idaho or Oregon, all of which have Rattlesnakes, in Arizona it's just a part of life, try spending all night in the Texas desert with the Coyotes and the Sheriff Department searching for you or try walking yourself 2 miles out of the middle of the Texas Desert after getting stuck in soft sand out of CB Range / CellPhone range trying to make it to the Fraccing Oil Well with Halliburton, then upon finally making it to a concrete street having no one stop for you because you're African American, even though you have all your PPE/Safety gear, who finally stopped ?, a Mexican Landscape Crew, have lived in Mexico for the last 13 years, House, Restaurant, Wife and Daughter , we chopped it up in Spanish all the way back to Society !

. . . . . . . Everyone has heard of the "Texas Rangers", truth of the matter is that the "Arizona Rangers" were a harder and tougher crew ! . . . . . "Arizona CowBoy" here, there's a New Sheriff in town, "Black Bart", LoL, with a 120 acre Ranch in Lake Havasu, Arizona, "Arizona's Beach" !, Colorado River, one side of the River is Arizona, the other side is Laughlin, Nevada, "Mini-Las Vegas" !

Do you have your cdl yet?

 

I’m a cylinder kicker but I haul cryo gas like nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen etc. dozens of gases any given day. You get the point. I have an occasional forklift propane cylinder or a 100 pound chemtane or propane cylinder to deliver. What do you want to know? Roll it carefully and don’t drop it off the liftgate. Not much else to tell

 

Yep, 3.5 years now,
having said that the most dangerous CDL guy is the guy
that's had his CDL for 1 year and the the guy that's had his CDL for 10 years,
The guy with 1 year knows nothing, and the guy with 10 years thinks he knows
everything, we never stop learning and we're all a WIP, a "Work In Progress" !, we
never stop learning how to be "Safer and keep our Head In the Game", the Highway
is unforgiving, don't know if you're familar with the two UPS Team Drivers that died I guess
about 4-months ago, one had 3-Years and the the other almost 30 years in with UPS,
no differ Bro. !, we all bleed red and regardless of how much experience you have, how much
defensive driving you are doing, still one blown tire on a undivided highway head-on and you're
both dead !, happen before about a year ago, the UPS Drivers we're different, a Oriental Tour
Bus Driver lost control in front of them and flipped in front of them un-avoidable, when it's your time,
it's your time !, which is why I bless each trip before I start, part of my Pre-Trip !

. . . . . . also why I don't and refuse to Team or Train, if it's going to happen it's going to happen at my hands, not because I put my life into the hands of another that was driving while I was sleeping !
