I hope there's people watching this that the lightbulb goes on. For a few thousand dollars of CDL school (or free!) you have a pretty clear path to six figures in a short period of time. No college debt, just be ready to work. Start on food service, work hard, get experience then drive a tanker if you want. There are a lot more difficult jobs that pay less-you don't have to keep working them. This stuff could change someones life for real.
Na don’t do food service you will bump your pay most likely resulting in you changing your lifestyle which makes you a slave to the job and break your back. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone I cared about.
@@imanthonytv might make video on what it's like to fuel a freight train. Also I got all my endorsements before I even went to cdl school. I always felt the only thing an employer would be able to tell me is that you don't have enough experience. I have everything except the passengers endorsement. Hazmat and tanker jobs are pretty much all I look for at this point. I just got my cdl in April and I was shocked to be able to get a tanker job. So they're definitely out here.
Got my CDL at 21 years old. 34 years old now. Driving here in Dallas, Tx. Driving for a company locally taking home 6 figures. Sounds pretty unheard of. Have drove for a lot of big companies over the years. My advice would be to get all your endorsements especially Hazmat. Don’t be afraid to leave a job if you’re not happy. I’m on my 4th company this year til I got what made me happy!! Take advantage of having the upper hand in this field. You don’t have to settle!!!
Sounds awesome bro…I been had my CDLs along time, I have all my endorsements, looking to use them now, I’m here in the dfw area , just wondering what company are you with if u don’t mind me asking, thank you, be safe😎💯
This is a good job. Also another slept on job many drivers have probably never heard of in tanker is admix chemical tanker driver. I’m making 120k here in Florida , weekends off and every holiday off and they let me choose my bday as my floating holiday. I control my own schedule for now , I’m home every night and sleep in my own bed , the work is easy on your body … the hoses use an electric hose reel y’all!! Cmon I’m female and I stand at 5’3” and weigh 130 lbs. I’ve been doing this for 14 years and I promise y’all not one day do I ever dread going to work. Me and my coworkers are truly blessed.
Messer Gases, Linde, Air Products, Air Liquide, Genox, and the list goes on. All the cryogenic gas haulers make great money 80-130k easily. I was on a team truck for my last trucking job, it is VERY EASY WORK.
Before you even get into a truck, once you got your CDL, go get your Hazmat, doubles and tanker endorsements and a TWIC. As long as you keep a clean record, you will never be without a job!
I have all of those and it’s still been challenging. Granted I only have 6 months experience so I guess maybe once I reach a year, it’ll be more options available.
It’s all dependent on location, for instance here in FL, having those endorsements HELP but you won’t make anything over $80k unless you’re in LTL or some kind of specialized freight. For example, $20-23 an hour here in Orlando is about the norm while in the Midwest that is basically entry level in a shitty company.
I got in at 20 with a free class B license (company paid training), then got my class A for free (state grant) at 23. I'm 25 now and have twic + all endorsements and pull fuel local with no college debt. I gross around 97k a year
I'm 26 and in college debt and hating myself for wasting my life. Started looking into getting my CDL in the past week and I wish I had started looking into this years ago. I'll never forgive myself for the time and money I've wasted, but I'm looking forward to the potential income this could bring in.
How did you make the switch from B to A. I have A hazmat/tanker and I'm having a hard time geting a job driving class A. I drove a hazmat box truck for almost a year ended up on a roofing crew and now driving trash trucks. 👎 in need of advice
I’m saving up for CDL school in NYC (50 classes for $5k). I’ll be ready by December/early January. I’m 27. Ready to change my life around. Haven’t had anything close to a 6 figure salary job and I am willing to sacrifice a lot to get there. Plan on trucking for 4-6 years while investing in stocks/ real estate. But I am excited for trucking nonetheless, thank you for these videos. Please keep it up
I had got a grant for my CLD school and didn’t have to pay nun. Went to a job center that helps people get jobs to get my the grant maybe there is one up there for you too.
@@QuiteLiterally97 a grant sounds almost too good to be true! I’ll be looking into job center nearby. Were there any specific requirements/qualifications to earn a grant from your job center? If I could bypass spending $5k, that’d be awesome
@TheDon Check out the WIOA program. It’s a grant that can be used to pay for your CDL tuition. The funds do NOT have to be repaid. Yes, there are some prerequisites you must complete prior to getting the funding. I’m not sure what the requirements are today but you used to have to complete the TABE test & get 3 pre hire letters from any employer for that job. In this case, it would be 3 different trucking jobs. Things may have changed so reach out to your local resource center for more details. Good luck 👍🏾
@@imanthonytv appreciate you tons, family. Will definitely be making some calls to see if I can get past paying $5k out of pocket. Thank you!! I’m subscribed for life brudda 🤞🏽
I am a construction manager for Air Products and I travel all over for them nationwide. I can confirm that they do make good money. They also get breakfast and lunch at the plant. Fuel and DEF is onsite as well.
Damn Anthony you gonna be killing the trucking game. You definitely can't go wrong getting your endorsements. The sooner you get it the better off you are.
I haul cryogenics as a company driver (not with AP) but do it OTR. Love what I do...been in it about 4 1/2 years. Last year I made 6 figures. Working on becoming an O/O next year.
I'm thinking about getting into cryogenics after I get my license and some experience, I know someone thats working for a cryogenics company. But they are company driver. How much on average can an Owner op for cryogenics net per week or per month minimum, just curious
I work in cryogenics and it's very slept on. This is NOT a field for reckless drivers and most companies in this field have front-facing cameras and you're not allowed to use your cell phone while you're driving at all. Not even hands-free. We also can't take all of the routes non-hazmat trucks can take so it takes some trip planning. But I honestly can say I love it over here. No bumping docks. I do straight drop and hook but most local jobs you WILL be loading and unloading even with AirProducts, AirGas, Air Liquide, etc. So don't all come running over here at once thinking you're just gonna pull up and someone is going to unload for you, that's not what that description meant. Just that the heaviest thing you'll lift is the hoses. Take the time and consider if it's a right fit for you or not.
I'm in hiring process now with KAG Merchant Gas division doing Cryo OTR. I know they 3rd party, and I don't want to do OTR for long (I've done OTR before), but it's a way into the Cryo industry to gain experience. I figure after 12-18 months, I can apply to Linde, Air Products, Air Liquide, Messer, etc with Cryo experience and come back local
Thanks! great video as always. Just wanted to mention that for tanker jobs, often time they require to have the TWIC card along the endorsements you mentioned to be able to get in some plants. I left Performance food group and found me a tanker job and I love it!
Just got my license and all my endorsements and already had my TWIC card. Graduated this June, trained under my hubby with them for nitrogen, just follow all steps to load and unload carefully. I’m hauling ISO now. If a older woman such as myself can do it that should be inspiration!!!
Great content bro! I got my CDL in February, got all my endorsements and TWIC and in 10 weeks landed a tanker job, even though I was told that it wouldn’t happen without two years experience. Never going haul anything else 😂
Man I was working my but off and being super adamant about that exact same scenario. No one would let me in the door. But now I'm a year into my career. So hopefully I can get one now.
@@shiftautomotive854 Tbh,it was a referral. But the person that referred me was also a new CDL holder bcuz we graduated the same time from CDL school. Regardless of what ppl tell you boss, it’s possible. It’s companies out there willing to hire new drivers no matter how “big” the company.
you may have load your trailer before and after it depends on what terminal you assigned to they have cameras inside and out to monitor your driving conditions and habits, the pay is sub par it’s okay if you don’t know any better, also you’ve have to do positioning of the truck and trailer to connect the hose to the tank you’re required to fill, also your required to wear fire retardant clothing year round!
I drove diesel at $37 an hour monday to friday around 11 hours per day so overtime was sweet some guys were doing 13 hours day i left it to drive days less pay but more quality time.
Which company did you pull for making an hourly rate? Curious, I've been driving almost 20 years and have owned my own truck going on 4 years now looking to maybe close up shop and get a real job again but was under the impression that most fuel haulers were paid percentage. Thanks.
Great video as always..you’re a true gentleman always helping others out in the trucking industry..this is so cool..I always known Hazmat endorsements but this is so cool..thank you sir.
Im currently hauling bulk cement and chicken feed locally/short regional. A lil over 3 months in. I have all my endorsements but it wasnt required for this job in particular. I am getting experience with a pneumatic tank trailer. After 1-2 years I’m looking to haul fuel or perhaps chemicals. Just trying to enjoy the ride for now!
I work in this industry of transportation. It's called cryogenics. The companies out there are pretty much owned by the same group. Linde, Messer, Airgas, Airproducts, Praxair etc. I currently make around $120k to $130k a year. I work 5 days a week and only work about 10-11 hours a day, sometimes 8 hours. We have a 55 hour work week, anything over that is overtime. Training for this job took about 2 months. You also have to have Hazmat and Tanker Endorsements. You have to have 2 years minimum of driving experience.
@@bobsuruncle679 I don't know, it differs between shifts. If you work weekends add $250, if you work nights, add $350, if you work both weekends and nights add $600
@@bobsuruncle679 I've only been here for 9 months, my goal is to get on another division with them, but I have to be with them for a year before I can get that. That division will pay $3500 a week.
I worked for cryogenic companies(Cryogenic transportation and Airgas/Air liquide) and they have the best insurance for their employees. But they are anal about safety cameras everywhere. Not that it's a bad thing. A lot of older truck drivers work for most of these companies so you'll be at the bottom of seniority for a few years. But if you have a young family this is the way to go. Leave full come back empty. But it's hazmat for a reason cryogenic means colder than anything you will ever experience.
I worked there as a driver less than a year. They do make good money, but if you’re ok with being off on a set schedule. That’s good job for you. But it will be a long long time before you have a weekend off. Was not for me. Went back to fuel as an owner operator.
You forgot the best part. APCI Cleveland is a union shop; Steelworkers. They mainly haul LIN LOX and LAR. Middletown is also a union gig Locol 100! Good company. If I had my choice I’d choose Middletown. Also, this gig isn’t for everyone. It’s Hazmat for a reason. You can get seriously hurt or hurt others. They also are very selective with who they hire. They want the cream.
I work for a contractor that airproducts uses sometime when they get overloaded with work and this is easy and clean work, and whenever our compnay runs with Airproducts we would be home almost every night depending whats going on
I work cryo. 5 days a week, home every night and did $134,000 last year(2022) Don't like wearing a paid for uniform? Then stick with freight and sticky showers..lol
Another division idk if you've covered yet is hauling from a feed mill to farms. I used to do that. Switched to gfs when I moved to another state because of better pay and exercise. But I really enjoyed grain hauling and still miss it.
Getting into it next month. All signed up with a local school, full scholarship through a government workforce grant. Going for my hazmat endorsement as soon as possible. I've got plenty of experience driving straight trucks, living on the road (camping in a converted truck bed), driving manual for a decade, no spouse or dependents... I think it'll be a good fit. Excited for this next chapter of life. Cheers bro, thank you for all the info.
I worked at Air Products in their corporate office on their safety board. I actually got my CDL after that (also have a Bachelors degree in engineering) and this is an awesome company to work for. I'm one of the rare few that's been on both sides and they do care y'all.
Bro, thank you so much for this video! I watched this video a few months ago and couldn’t believe it. I’ve been driving for over 4 years. And when I watched this video you motivated me to stop procrastinating and finally test and get my Hazmat. Skip forward a few months and I’m on my way now to sign an offer letter for employment with a competitor of this company doing the same job. I’ll be starting with Matheson Tri-Gas here in Irving, TX soon. Id love to fill you in on the training and every day work life once I’m deeper into the job. Again, thank you so much for motivating me to take a step for something I’ve been putting off from the beginning of my trucking career. Keep doing what you’re doing brotha.
@@terraGaliciaXXIV we just got a raise to be honest. So hourly it’s $28.21 cpm $0.509. Most drivers are earning (without working hard) an easy $85k+ most in the mid $90’s. I think with the $2 raise it’ll bump that up more. 5 day work week. I have Fridays and Saturdays off. Any work done on a day off/6th day is time and a half for both the miles and hours. Work on holidays is the same. But you automatically get free 8 hours on holidays as well. On top of.the hours you worked. Monthly $325 safety bonus. Etc… I’m enjoying the job. It’s super easy but very safety oriented.
@@ramon3kgt I ask about pay because the cost of living is super high now and so is CDL schooling. Dominoes pizza near me pays drivers $25/hr and class b school bus drivers are earning $33 to start. With your mileage pay and hourly pay combined, what would you say is the minimum hourly rate? I feel $35 is the minimum any CDL class a driver should accept. It’d be tough for any family man to survive on anything less than that I feel
I worked for Air Products as a driver for 2 years in Midlothian, tx.. In my opinion, the "NBA" of transportation industry. Doesn't get any better than that. Only part I did not like was you had to bid on your schedule once a year and it went by seniority. Make sure the schedule works for your lifestyle and goals.
@@kccdallastvThey operate 24/7 and being new, you’ll have whatever schedule is left after senior drivers have put their bid in. So you won’t have weekends off.
I actually just got on with a similar company 3 months ago in tx. I’m loving it. Very easy work and very good money. I’m making about 90k just starting out. Definitely recommend this type of work.
I started with tanker luckily. I drove everything but flatbed now and I want to go back to tanker. This is a nice job listing. Too bad they don't have it in Dallas.
I just started with Air products. I’m working out of the Butler Indiana terminal. I’m in the process of training. I spent the first week on the computer training learning about the company and what they expect and the rules regulations. The driver are regulated by the FDA because they haul medical and food grade liquids. I also have to have a passport and able to cross into Canada from time to time. It’s a slip seat job. No assigned trucks or trailer you just get what you are assigned for the day. 100% safety. Zero tolerance phone usage while in the truck and driving. They will terminate immediately if they catch you on the phone. They do have driver facing camera and all kinds of stuff in the truck to make sure you are being legal and safe.
Hello I hope you see this. I just did my interview with the recruiter today and she said she would forward my information to the Terminal mgr. So how long do they usually take to get back to you with Air Products ?? Help lol
I've been doing this job for over 15 years and yes the money is good, but it's very dangerous and it's very easy to loose the job,it has cameras that record you 24 7,every device you can imagine. On the truck, you have 2 jobs in one ,your an operator and a driver
,You right about the cameras in the trucks. I just got on with Air Products a year ago this month and the only reason I think they hired me was because a bunch of old timers quit not liking the cameras and the computerized systems they have. Be honest, If they didn't pay so well(over 100k my 1st year, I'd quit too.
@@coreyharris536 true, true. Coming from doing City LTL in Dallas 3 years prior to joining Air Products made this job look easy. All companies. Are going to cameras, so you can't escape it.
Please go for it. I'm a fairly new driver because I felt the same way you did. I'm grateful that I'm a Professional Truck Driver now. The financial freedom is a blessing. I also have my Tanker b& Hazmat Endorsements.
Do your due diligence on the trucking school you are looking to attend. I lost 5k for being naive and not doing this. Met this guy who works for a school and he said he had his own company. The guy kept calling me, urging me to get my permit and sold me on this idea of obtaining my CDL. I obtained it last December and I had a few training sessions. I took my first test in January and failed my pre trip. Took my 2nd test in April and failed due to parallel parking. Every time I called him so I can practice there was always an excuse, truck broke down, the clutch broke, I’m out of town. I finally just took it as a loss. Here I am today, 10 months in and no CDL and paying off a 5k loan. Do your due diligence guys, men today no longer value their word. Growing up I was always taught that as a man our word is our bond but unfortunately today those days are long gone.
I agree, a man is only as good as his word. His lack of integrity shouldnt stop you from getting your CDL though. While he flaked, you could still be on the road and making good money and have that loan paid off. Dont give up on it, having your CDL will net you a lot more than that 5k you invested. Keep pushing regardless.
Sorry to hear bout that sob doing that to ya....what I did was went to a company that has its own school system. I researched for 3 months till I settled on this company. $1000 a week for 8 weeks. 4 of school 4 of on road training. 1 year contract. They have the highest payback if you quit early. It's not the best decision for everyone but is was the best for me.... I've made in 4 months what it took me in a year in Mississippi.
Not true bruh u need experience on gawd I been trying I shouldn't of listened to youtube bruh I drive a garbage truck want to make baller money on gawd
My sister works for a waste water treatment plant as a operator grade 3, she talks to some of the chemical truck drivers and they make 190k a year hard work but 190k im not complaining getting my tankers and hazmat right now
What these people say is true about pay but it comes with draw backs. There's really only 5 cryogenic gas companies in the US that'll pay over 120k to start. But people never really mention the negatives so I will: 1) forward/ rear facing cameras 24/7 record 2) no phone policy "I keep mine in my lunch box". 3) quarterly safety meetings mandatory 4) 4-6 sec following distance @all times 5) cones out when backing 6) safety- spy checks (someone follow you making sure driving/ unloading procedures are followed). Done randomly 7) must drive below posted speed limit 8) no eating behind the wheel 9) no cb radio 10) annual ride alongs Some rules can be bent. But if you break no.2 you're terminated on the spot. If you break the others you may be coached but multiple offenses you will be terminated. These jobs have higher turnover rates bc of their safety policies but if you can follow them you will enjoy your job. F.Y.I Linde or now in USA called (linde plc) pays the most! On the ASU side any way.
So basically if you are not a dumb ass like you sound to be you will be ok? You basically just justified being on a phone while driving . You sound like the problem man no offense you deserved to be fired
@@Killerrob-rn3os ah OK.. some how your feelings where hurt on me explain great companies and their policies!? Mabe. Don't want to hurt you more by saying this but I'm not fired and talking on a cellphone is not illegal, holding and touching cellphones while driving is. If that makes me sound stupid and apart of some type of problem I'm okay with. Thanks!

Currently in the process obtaining all 3 endorsements and it definitely opens up better jobs. I’m definitely going to look at some tanker jobs real soon
This jobs pays very well but it’s could be very dangerous and it’s a lot of training hours. And sometimes very stressful. Anything can be wrong and doesn’t looks good. Good luck
I’ve been driving going on 9 years. And I see people struggling all the time….I 100% encourage people to get their CDL. It’s an investment into a world of opportunity. They just don’t understand the amount of money that this industry has. If you want out of your hometown, it’s an opportunity to do that. Do I absolutely love every aspect of being a trucker? No. But it provides for my family and I’m very happy I jumped on the opportunity.
Genox is mainly lease purchase. And they have alot of former drivers from all of the other private cryo companies. Genox recently started offering company driver positions abt 2 to 3 yrs ago.
Just got on with AP I start 03/20/23 I'll be on the team driving side. Said they 125k/yr plus 10k sign up bonus.. can't wait to start I heard really good things about the company. Very low turnover rate. Less then 10% and half of that is because the drivers retire.
@@Ihavetocorrectyou after a month being employed with them I was let go due to me and my co driver not getting along. Long story short my co driver kept pissing me off calling me out of my name this was the 3rd time he did it so I cussed him out and said I'll kick his ass stop talking to me like that. safe to say there's a 0 tolerance policy for any of that. So we both got fired. Even though I was the one that reported the situation. I think it was unfair but aside from that mess its a really good company and had a lot of fun learning. If you thinking about applying I would say yes go for it.
I just started working at messer and where I’m at the money is trash. I’ve been making $200-$250 a day I guess business is slow. You can’t use Bluetooth and they have a camera in your face.
I’m a contractor for messer and they can’t keep drivers. They have a high turn over rate. They don’t pay. That’s why we haul because they can’t keep drivers.
Messer is the old linde, and the pay went down after linde sold to messer so that they could merge with praxair. Air Products and Linde/Praxair are usually the highest paying in the areas they are in. Especially for hydrogen teams. Those guys make 125k-150k per year for each driver. And they are home every week. However AP was the best to work for as a company driver. Until they recently adopted the same practice that the other 4 top cryo companies had. Witch is driver facing cameras. Now all 5 top cryo companies can't keep drivers. They either quit. Or get fired over some camera event. Cryo isn't cool at the top 5 private carriers anymore. Its best to get on with one of the outside carriers. Or a small welding company. Then you won't have to deal with cameras.
Hydrogen teams killing it right now. Prax/AP need teams out of Laporte, Tx and Prax need teams out of Alabama. I have a few friends doing it and they bring home about 2k a week. I’m staying contract. I like the freedom.
Yeah. It so stupid what drivers be doing. They know the policy and will still break it. Lose their very good job for texting on the phone or vaping. Just ridiculous
I have done fuel transport and doing local propane. I waiting on my company to get the propane transport so I can get into it and make more. But I love delivering to customers and seeing farm land all over. I did tank wagon fuel just running a straight truck tanker delivering to farmers and home heating oil. The overtime I was working made 80,000 easy
I’ve been driving tractor trailers in the food industry for 5 years without my endorsements. I’m definitely about to get into tankers. I’m out here tearing my body down 🤦🏾♂️
@@sibis659 I work out of Beaumont yard but there's a yard in Lake Charles, Houston, Caldwell, Freer, Victoria, and many more. But there's several trucking companies that pull tanker that can get you 80k+ a year. There's also multiple vacuum tanker companies hiring. Clean Harbor starts experienced drivers out at $25-$30 an hour. Hydrovac operators can make $25-$35 an hour. So it just depends on what you want to get into.
Establishing a consistent work history is very important. Three years of experience does not mean you have had five or six jobs in three years. Those kind of drivers are called job hoppers and a good company won't even consider you.
I been trying trucks for 25 yrs now, hopped job to job, drove overseas twice, OTR,Team OTR, van and tankers, and I'm still making great money! Trucking is a money game, some people find their niche others find the money or both! There's always a better company out there just have to find the one that suits you!! Stop lying to people
Air gas, air products, Matheson, linde, Gen ox, LGT and the company I work for southern pines we all make 130 a year but potential for more for hauling Lin an Lox with sign on bonuses. Great all great companies mans ain’t lying of course you need X endorsement cmon cmon
Job description: Our local drivers work a steady, predictable schedule in a slip-seat operation averaging 12-hour days. The bulk drivers are tasked with delivering nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen and CO₂ to our customers within a 250-mile radius of the plant. Other responsibilities of this position include preparation and completion of Air Products paperwork and adhering to our safety policies and procedures.
UPS feeder drivers usually can make around $122-$140 depending on location and it's not easy you definitely work for it you take as much over time as you can work through every holiday and work split shifts and floating positions.....
Those 12 hour a day driving jobs suck. Find a company where you average 10 hours a day. You don't have a life working 12 or more hours a day, five days a week. It's not bad if you are working 12 hours a day if it's a 4 day work week.
Back in 80's they got pay by the load only the top driver got the good drop. While I hit the small tank, it could be up to 7 tank you have to top off. Time are show different. What they paid today

I control my own schedule for now , I’m home every night and sleep in my own bed , the work is easy on your body … the hoses use an electric hose reel y’all!! Cmon I’m female and I stand at 5’3” and weigh 130 lbs. I’ve been doing this for 14 years and I promise y’all not one day do I ever dread going to work. Me and my coworkers are truly blessed.
I’m jealous 😂 nah seriously it sounds like you really got it made. Stay safe out there young lady. God bless 🙏🏾
What city or cities do they operate out of in Florida?
That sounds great driver. Any similar jobs in Texas?
Did admix change there name? I couldn't find them, on indeed.
@@ldbwa1050 they definitely have it in Texas
Messer Gases, Linde, Air Products, Air Liquide, Genox, and the list goes on. All the cryogenic gas haulers make great money 80-130k easily. I was on a team truck for my last trucking job, it is VERY EASY WORK.
Before you even get into a truck, once you got your CDL, go get your Hazmat, doubles and tanker endorsements and a TWIC. As long as you keep a clean record, you will never be without a job!
True 👍🏾
I have all of those and it’s still been challenging. Granted I only have 6 months experience so I guess maybe once I reach a year, it’ll be more options available.
@@ItsLizzB yea it’s the experience and location. I’m in Savannah Georgia where the work is plentiful
It’s all dependent on location, for instance here in FL, having those endorsements HELP but you won’t make anything over $80k unless you’re in LTL or some kind of specialized freight. For example, $20-23 an hour here in Orlando is about the norm while in the Midwest that is basically entry level in a shitty company.
I’m in trucking school now
Thanks for the info
I got in at 20 with a free class B license (company paid training), then got my class A for free (state grant) at 23. I'm 25 now and have twic + all endorsements and pull fuel local with no college debt. I gross around 97k a year
I'm 26 and in college debt and hating myself for wasting my life. Started looking into getting my CDL in the past week and I wish I had started looking into this years ago. I'll never forgive myself for the time and money I've wasted, but I'm looking forward to the potential income this could bring in.
@@paintisfoodI’m in a similar position, man. 23, last semester of College with worthless degree. Strongly considering this post grad

I had got a grant for my CLD school and didn’t have to pay nun. Went to a job center that helps people get jobs to get my the grant maybe there is one up there for you too.
@@QuiteLiterally97 a grant sounds almost too good to be true! I’ll be looking into job center nearby. Were there any specific requirements/qualifications to earn a grant from your job center? If I could bypass spending $5k, that’d be awesome
@TheDon Check out the WIOA program. It’s a grant that can be used to pay for your CDL tuition. The funds do NOT have to be repaid. Yes, there are some prerequisites you must complete prior to getting the funding. I’m not sure what the requirements are today but you used to have to complete the TABE test & get 3 pre hire letters from any employer for that job. In this case, it would be 3 different trucking jobs. Things may have changed so reach out to your local resource center for more details. Good luck 👍🏾

You went through?
I am a construction manager for Air Products and I travel all over for them nationwide. I can confirm that they do make good money. They also get breakfast and lunch at the plant. Fuel and DEF is onsite as well.
Damn Anthony you gonna be killing the trucking game. You definitely can't go wrong getting your endorsements. The sooner you get it the better off you are.
LTL is pretty sweet also. I work R&L carries, by far the best job in my 20 years trucking.

I haul cryogenics as a company driver (not with AP) but do it OTR. Love what I do...been in it about 4 1/2 years. Last year I made 6 figures. Working on becoming an O/O next year.
I'm thinking about getting into cryogenics after I get my license and some experience, I know someone thats working for a cryogenics company.

How much a week to start? Do you drive manual for these jobs?
Forward this video to all Prime lease drivers asap. Nothing but facts in this video. My buddy works for Lindee. 42 per hour
I work in cryogenics and it's very slept on. This is NOT a field for reckless drivers and most companies in this field have front-facing cameras and you're not allowed to use your cell phone while you're driving at all. Not even hands-free. We also can't take all of the routes non-hazmat trucks can take so it takes some trip planning. But I honestly can say I love it over here. No bumping docks. I do straight drop and hook but most local jobs you WILL be loading and unloading even with AirProducts, AirGas, Air Liquide, etc. So don't all come running over here at once thinking you're just gonna pull up and someone is going to unload for you, that's not what that description meant. Just that the heaviest thing you'll lift is the hoses. Take the time and consider if it's a right fit for you or not.
I'm in hiring process now with KAG Merchant Gas division doing Cryo OTR. I know they 3rd party, and I don't want to do OTR for long (I've done OTR before), but it's a way into the Cryo industry to gain experience. I figure after 12-18 months, I can apply to Linde, Air Products, Air Liquide, Messer, etc with Cryo experience and come back local

@Larry Dawson there are quite a few that are looking for little to no experience

@@shiftautomotive854 Tbh,it was a referral. But the person that referred me was also a new CDL holder bcuz we graduated the same time from CDL school. Regardless of what ppl tell you boss, it’s possible. It’s companies out there willing to hire new drivers no matter how “big” the company.
Air products has an academy mainly focused on veterans. I stepped out of CDL school into air products fresh out of the military.

you may have load your trailer before and after it depends on what terminal you assigned to they have cameras inside and out to monitor your driving conditions and habits, the pay is sub par it’s okay if you don’t know any better, also you’ve have to do positioning of the truck and trailer to connect the hose to the tank you’re required to fill, also your required to wear fire retardant clothing year round!
I drove diesel at $37 an hour monday to friday around 11 hours per day so overtime was sweet some guys were doing 13 hours day i left it to drive days less pay but more quality time.

Thanks for watching.
Im currently hauling bulk cement and chicken feed locally/short regional. A lil over 3 months in. I have all my endorsements but it wasnt required for this job in particular. I am getting experience with a pneumatic tank trailer. After 1-2 years I’m looking to haul fuel or perhaps chemicals. Just trying to enjoy the ride for now!
I work in this industry of transportation. It's called cryogenics. The companies out there are pretty much owned by the same group.
Linde, Messer, Airgas, Airproducts, Praxair etc. I currently make around $120k to $130k a year. I work 5 days a week and only work about 10-11 hours a day, sometimes 8 hours. We have a 55 hour work week, anything over that is overtime.
Training for this job took about 2 months. You also have to have Hazmat and Tanker Endorsements. You have to have 2 years minimum of driving experience.

I worked for cryogenic companies(Cryogenic transportation and Airgas/Air liquide) and they have the best insurance for their employees. But they are anal about safety cameras everywhere. Not that it's a bad thing. A lot of older truck drivers work for most of these companies so you'll be at the bottom of seniority for a few years. But if you have a young family this is the way to go. Leave full come back empty. But it's hazmat for a reason cryogenic means colder than anything you will ever experience.
Airgas sucks
been hauling fuel for a while, was thinking about switching to this. thanks for the video
I worked there as a driver less than a year. They do make good money, but if you’re ok with being off on a set schedule. That’s good job for you. But it will be a long long time before you have a weekend off. Was not for me. Went back to fuel as an owner operator.
I appreciate the information on hazmat tankers. I look forward to hearing about more hazmat tankers companies in future videos.
You forgot the best part. APCI Cleveland is a union shop; Steelworkers. They mainly haul LIN LOX and LAR. Middletown is also a union gig Locol 100! Good company. If I had my choice I’d choose Middletown.
Also, this gig isn’t for everyone. It’s Hazmat for a reason. You can get seriously hurt or hurt others. They also are very selective with who they hire. They want the cream.

Bro, thank you so much for this video! I watched this video a few months ago and couldn’t believe it. I’ve been driving for over 4 years. And when I watched this video you motivated me to stop procrastinating and finally test and get my Hazmat. Skip forward a few months and I’m on my way now to sign an offer letter for employment with a competitor of this company doing the same job. I’ll be starting with Matheson Tri-Gas here in Irving, TX soon. Id love to fill you in on the training and every day work life once I’m deeper into the job. Again, thank you so much for motivating me to take a step for something I’ve been putting off from the beginning of my trucking career. Keep doing what you’re doing brotha.

How’s the pay looking at Matheson per hour not including OT?
@@terraGaliciaXXIV we just got a raise to be honest. So hourly it’s $28.21 cpm $0.509. Most drivers are earning (without working hard) an easy $85k+ most in the mid $90’s. I think with the $2 raise it’ll bump that up more. 5 day work week. I have Fridays and Saturdays off. Any work done on a day off/6th day is time and a half for both the miles and hours. Work on holidays is the same. But you automatically get free 8 hours on holidays as well. On top of.the hours you worked. Monthly $325 safety bonus. Etc… I’m enjoying the job. It’s super easy but very safety oriented.
@@ramon3kgt I ask about pay because the cost of living is super high now and so is CDL schooling. Dominoes pizza near me pays drivers $25/hr and class b school bus drivers are earning $33 to start.

How much was you making
I worked for Air Products as a driver for 2 years in Midlothian, tx.. In my opinion, the "NBA" of transportation industry. Doesn't get any better than that. Only part I did not like was you had to bid on your schedule once a year and it went by seniority. Make sure the schedule works for your lifestyle and goals.

I started with tanker luckily. I drove everything but flatbed now and I want to go back to tanker. This is a nice job listing. Too bad they don't have it in Dallas.

I just started with Air products. I’m working out of the Butler Indiana terminal. I’m in the process of training. I spent the first week on the computer training learning about the company and what they expect and the rules regulations. The driver are regulated by the FDA because they haul medical and food grade liquids. I also have to have a passport and able to cross into Canada from time to time. It’s a slip seat job. No assigned trucks or trailer you just get what you are assigned for the day. 100% safety. Zero tolerance phone usage while in the truck and driving. They will terminate immediately if they catch you on the phone. They do have driver facing camera and all kinds of stuff in the truck to make sure you are being legal and safe.

You’re welcome.
Yeah and I had two interviews and didn’t get the job. Forget them!
I've been doing this job for over 15 years and yes the money is good, but it's very dangerous and it's very easy to loose the job,it has cameras that record you 24 7,every device you can imagine. On the truck, you have 2 jobs in one ,your an operator and a driver
,You right about the cameras in the trucks. I just got on with Air Products a year ago this month and the only reason I think they hired me was because a bunch of old timers quit not liking the cameras and the computerized systems they have.

Do your due diligence on the trucking school you are looking to attend. I lost 5k for being naive and not doing this. Met this guy who works for a school and he said he had his own company. The guy kept calling me, urging me to get my permit and sold me on this idea of obtaining my CDL. I obtained it last December and I had a few training sessions. I took my first test in January and failed my pre trip. Took my 2nd test in April and failed due to parallel parking. Every time I called him so I can practice there was always an excuse, truck broke down, the clutch broke, I’m out of town. I finally just took it as a loss. Here I am today, 10 months in and no CDL and paying off a 5k loan. Do your due diligence guys, men today no longer value their word. Growing up I was always taught that as a man our word is our bond but unfortunately today those days are long gone.
I agree, a man is only as good as his word. His lack of integrity shouldnt stop you from getting your CDL though. While he flaked, you could still be on the road and making good money and have that loan paid off. Dont give up on it, having your CDL will net you a lot more than that 5k you invested. Keep pushing regardless.

My sister works for a waste water treatment plant as a operator grade 3, she talks to some of the chemical truck drivers and they make 190k a year hard work but 190k im not complaining getting my tankers and hazmat right now
What these people say is true about pay but it comes with draw backs. There's really only 5 cryogenic gas companies in the US that'll pay over 120k to start. But people never really mention the negatives so I will:
1) forward/ rear facing cameras 24/7 record
2) no phone policy "I keep mine in my lunch box".
3) quarterly safety meetings mandatory
4) 4-6 sec following distance @all times
5) cones out when backing
6) safety- spy checks (someone follow you making sure driving/ unloading procedures are followed). Done randomly
7) must drive below posted speed limit
8) no eating behind the wheel
9) no cb radio
10) annual ride alongs
Some rules can be bent. But if you break no.2 you're terminated on the spot. If you break the others you may be coached but multiple offenses you will be terminated.
These jobs have higher turnover rates bc of their safety policies but if you can follow them you will enjoy your job.

Messer is the old linde, and the pay went down after linde sold to messer so that they could merge with praxair. Air Products and Linde/Praxair are usually the highest paying in the areas they are in. Especially for hydrogen teams. Those guys make 125k-150k per year for each driver. And they are home every week.
However AP was the best to work for as a company driver. Until they recently adopted the same practice that the other 4 top cryo companies had. Witch is driver facing cameras.
Now all 5 top cryo companies can't keep drivers. They either quit. Or get fired over some camera event. Cryo isn't cool at the top 5 private carriers anymore. Its best to get on with one of the outside carriers. Or a small welding company. Then you won't have to deal with cameras.
Hydrogen teams killing it right now. Prax/AP need teams out of Laporte, Tx and Prax need teams out of Alabama. I have a few friends doing it and they bring home about 2k a week. I’m staying contract. I like the freedom.
Yeah. It so stupid what drivers be doing. They know the policy and will still break it. Lose their very good job for texting on the phone or vaping. Just ridiculous
Appreciate you Good Brother and the information the more you know the more you grow
That’s right! Thanks for watching my brother. 🙏🏾
I work for APCI New Orleans, La. Our highest paid team will make 170,000$ this year. Each driver.
Hydrogen teams make good, especially at a union terminal!
The training is crazy long too
I drive commercial garbage trucks in Louisiana I’m between 75-80 yearly
I have done fuel transport and doing local propane. I waiting on my company to get the propane transport so I can get into it and make more. But I love delivering to customers and seeing farm land all over. I did tank wagon fuel just running a straight truck tanker delivering to farmers and home heating oil. The overtime I was working made 80,000 easy
I’m about 2 months in to the Trucking sector working hard but it’s paying off so well. I love doing it too
💪🏾💪🏾
Yup a guy I worked with at JB went there. Said he makes 6 figs
Yeah don’t go to Pepsi unless you want to work 16 hours a day in the summer with subpar equipment and a lot of tractors with no AC.
100% correct. ( current Pepsi employee). Interview for Cheney brothers next week
Got my tanker and hazmat endorsement a fee month ago best move I ever mademad I didn't do it sooner
I’ve been driving tractor trailers in the food industry for 5 years without my endorsements. I’m definitely about to get into tankers. I’m out here tearing my body down 🤦🏾♂️
Go for it my guy! 💯💪🏾
Bro it’s good for ur health, u don’t want ur big ass sitting down all day
I haul crude oil and I make about $3k every 2 weeks, work a 4 on 2 off schedule, 12hr days, medical, dental, vision, 401k, and home every night.
What company?
@@coldfusion5153 Gulfmark Energy. But there's a caveat to what I make. Not every market area makes the same.
I will freaking move to that town .. I am in Florida pay is very low and no freight
@@sibis659 I work out of Beaumont yard but there's a yard in Lake Charles, Houston, Caldwell, Freer, Victoria, and many more.
But there's several trucking companies that pull tanker that can get you 80k+ a year.
There's also multiple vacuum tanker companies hiring. Clean Harbor starts experienced drivers out at $25-$30 an hour.
Hydrovac operators can make $25-$35 an hour.
So it just depends on what you want to get into.
Sounds like you are getting ripped off, working at the oil refinery makes more money.
Establishing a consistent work history is very important. Three years of experience does not mean you have had five or six jobs in three years. Those kind of drivers are called job hoppers and a good company won't even consider you.
I been trying trucks for 25 yrs now, hopped job to job, drove overseas twice, OTR,Team OTR, van and tankers, and I'm still making great money! Trucking is a money game, some people find their niche others find the money or both! There's always a better company out there just have to find the one that suits you!! Stop lying to people
Air gas, air products, Matheson, linde, Gen ox, LGT and the company I work for southern pines we all make 130 a year but potential for more for hauling Lin an Lox with sign on bonuses. Great all great companies mans ain’t lying of course you need X endorsement cmon cmon

I’m in Convent,La AirProducts bro and I luv it👌🏾
Whats team drivers pay? Do they hire in the Atlanta, Georgia area?
@@cryptonator1988 DK but they start at about 120k
@@lknightt how much experience do they require?
i wonder why people never talk about ups drivers them package guys making 145k a year
I actually mentioned UPS in my most recent video prior to this one..
The little box truck they drive?
Very hard to get in though gotta start from the bottom
UPS feeder drivers usually can make around $122-$140 depending on location and it's not easy you definitely work for it you take as much over time as you can work through every holiday and work split shifts and floating positions.....
You have to be a slave at the warehouse and brownnose for like 7 years before you get the CHANCE to be a driver
Those 12 hour a day driving jobs suck. Find a company where you average 10 hours a day. You don't have a life working 12 or more hours a day, five days a week. It's not bad if you are working 12 hours a day if it's a 4 day work week.
I’ve been trying to find a 10hr job. Its difficult
Back in 80's they got pay by the load only the top driver got the good drop. While I hit the small tank, it could be up to 7 tank you have to top off. Time are show different. What they paid today
Great company , great job
After watching your video I applied to Air Products local in Conyers Ga. I tried to get your full name to give you the credit. I did put Anthony TV utube.
I appreciate it bro. Good luck!
I worked for them. Good company.
I'm in this area. I drive a log truck. Sometimes it has a trailer on it. I wonder if I can get in? These drivers have probably seen me on 77 or 90 and 480. Looking at me loaded with logs like that boy is driving 😆. I have hazmat and tanker. Holding onto it like I'm waiting for that dream job. Maybe this is it. I'll apply.
Yes sir I have all my endorsements in some cases you get paid extra for having them
What up my boy 💯💪🏾
