Tanker Companies to lease on to

Why not just get a company driver job pulling cyro? It's the best paying trucking gig there is. Those guys pull in $140k home daily and 2 days off. Seems like most of the big private carrier cyro companies are all company trucks anyways. You live in Atlanta and that opportunity is there.

 

Post #2 is the easy way to do that....

But...to answer the original qtn:

• Genox
• LGT Transport
• KAG (their "Merchant Gas Group")
• Southern Pines Trucking

All the above...as I understand it...will take independent/lease ops...for cryo duty.

Special note: the above is merely a list -- NOT an endorsement.

Some of the above require 2 years previous CDL experience; some only require 1. Obviously...BOTH tanker & hazmat endorsements are required; a TWIC card likely helps, too.

Your MVR needs to be pretty clean, as well.

Most of the above will either be regional...or OTR work (not local, home-daily).

I ran across this in job searches. They don't have anything near me and I'm unwilling to move but if I lived in the Atlanta area here's one I'd be looking at: Truck Driver Jobs | Air Products

 

Your link that you posted just above doesn't appear to be working (at least--when I tried it).

How was LGT's reply disrespectful?

CAUTION: Try not to judge a company based solely on your experience with a recruiter.

That's like deciding Ford, GM...or Toyota is a bad car maker...all because of one encounter with a bad/snarky salesperson.

Talk to that company's drivers...and see what they say. Also: maybe work with another recruiter.

Most of my own experiences with recruiters have not been good.

Here's a thought: if you came to them with previous cryo experience, from elsewhere--they may well have offered your a better rate.

When I first started driving (for Schneider)--their rates were fairly "disrespectful"...as well.

More recently--at my latest gig (hauling fuel)--things there are MUCH better.

Suggestion: hire on with one of the above-listed 3rd-party carriers--but as a company driver, instead. Learn the cryo ropes, & maintain a good safety record. Talk to the O/O's that are there--& learn what you can from them. Then decide (as an educated, experienced cryo driver) if doing O/O in cryo is really worth all the added headaches.
