Curious trucker
Does any one know what is the largest cryogenic company? (i.e. Linde, Air Gas, etc.)
Also, what company pays the most?

Cryogenics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Specifically......
Quote:
Liquefied gases, such as liquid nitrogen and liquid helium, are used in many cryogenic applications. Liquid nitrogen is the most commonly used element in cryogenics and is legally purchasable around the world. Liquid helium is also commonly used and allows for the lowest attainable temperatures to be reached.
These liquids are held in either special containers known as Dewar flasks, which are generally about six feet tall (1.8 m) and three feet (91.5 cm) in diameter, or giant tanks in larger commercial operations. Dewar flasks are named after their inventor, James Dewar, the man who first liquefied hydrogen. Museums typically display smaller vacuum flasks fitted in a protective casing.
Cryogenic transfer pumps are the pumps used on LNG piers to transfer liquefied natural gas from LNG carriers to LNG storage tanks, as are cryogenic valves.

Linde, Air Liquide and Air Products are the "biggest" Cryogenic companies. As for which pays the most? That is region and job specific.

Again.....The wages are region and job specific. In the South, wages for drivers are lower than the same position in the Northeast, upper Midwest or on the West Coast.

Our drivers in the Southern regions can average around 65-75K a year. West/East Coast is around 80-90K. You are on a 5 day work week and always have your 2 days off. Occasional over night loads in a paid for hotel with meals paid at $38 a day for each day out. New drivers do work nights and weekends. Work is much easier than freight or foodservice (and yes, you do unload the Walgreen's trucks at the store-have a friend that does that/cases of water....no thanks). Back in, hook up a hose, cool down the pump, open a couple valves, start PTO and let it rip. You are also paid for ALL your work/driving time. And Linde is currently the largest industrial gas company in the world. View Job Opportunities with Linde
