    Right. If I could do 4 grand a week and be home everyday as a company driver. I’d sell this truck today and be in orientation tomorrow.

    Why stop there. It needs to be 9-5 too.

    Good thing he’s Jesus. It’s going to take a miracle to find this job.

    That’s bahookey.
    Cryo is hazmat.
    It’s quite different than most tanker gigs, given the thermal challenges of handling products that are 300 degrees below zero.
    You can freeze a water bottle in seconds…. Quite remarkable to see….
    Freeze burns are no joke though…severe tissue damage if you get any on your bare skin.
    If you’re working with liquid oxygen, better have very clean clothes with absolutely no petroleum residue on them…. Instant fire should the two meet.
    While each class of hazmat has its own specific rules, they often are fundamental across the spectrum.

    You have factors working against you right now.
    No cdl, no experience, unrealistic expectations of pay, and want company training to get you started on their dime.
    Current markets are thin across the board.
    You’re bottom of the list candidate.
    Why? You don’t want to do the work to get in the seat, but do want the paycheck.
    I’ve trained folks like you and watched them eliminate themselves from the industry. Current record is 10 days from release to fired. My gut says you’d take that as a challenge

    Cryogenic is considered by some in tanker as near the very best job in tanker. Cryogenic just means very, very cold gases. They are so cold the gas becomes liquid. Some dairy work is hard and dirty, because some dairy farms have muddy driving and little space for a truck. Some dairy jobs you never leave the pavement. Tanker is my favorite type of trucking before I retired.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker and Dennixx Thank this.
