Profile For Dano M.

Hey guys I have a question ,

Bit of a dilemma.. working at Amerigas, slinging cylinders and at times helping with bulk delivery also, recently got an offer from airgas delivering c02 as a class B driver should I take that? Amerigas is my first hazmat job, so far on the surface I haven't seen any micromanaging maybe because I'm new but the guys there claim they really like it.

Manager is chill he doesn't breathe down your neck he let's you do other tasks or if nothing to do then sit at the terminal on your phone to get your full shift of pay at. That much he guaranteed he'd do even during summer months.

We do deliver cylinders to businesses and that definitely sucks have to refill your truck i haven't gotten my hands dirty too much with going to residential but 1 or 2 times..The uncertainty does have me a little weary as far as going from a chill manager to possibly a worse situation but it could just as well be better overall.. so far I have literally no gear or PPE from amerigas going on a month there... the guys at the place are okay.. no major super super asshats. Just curious so any comment would be appreciated.

Well my question is am I making the right choice honestly I'm looking at the suburban thing as a back up in case all else fails if that makes sense assuming you aren't able to pass through school that place may a cushion but I also am not fond of 2 years I agree that is a long time to be obligated especially for a class B I believe. Since I paid I want to follow through with school but they start later (17th) Than my start date at suburban (3rd) but all within 2 weeks of each other

Book him, Dano! Lol (Who remembers that one?)

I’m not 100% sure I understand your choices, but I wouldn’t be too thrilled about that 2 year contract. 1 year maybe, but 2 years is a long time for someone new.

But you can start your state subsidized training before you start with Suburban? You already paid the $1500, so it seems like you should follow through with that option.

Hello I am new here,

I have a scenario id like to receive support and/or help about if you don't mind me explaining. (May be a lengthy read) Below;

- around Feb 2024 I took my GN test for my class B license, I reached out to a school about attending and they told me I'd have to come up with 1,500$ as a deposit and I could be enrolled into a program where the state ( OH) would cover the back end as a Loan/grant , that would be waived if you use your license for 1 year in OH.

Fast forward being delayed class start times twice and me paying the initial 1,500 deposit this is now id say apr/may no word from the state and I'm slowly losing a bit of patience I then start applying to Suburban propane as an apprentice driver ( i applied 10x diff locations) i finally had luck and landed a role as an apprentice where they will train you for your cdl, hazmat,tanker,air brake (all you can study for on your own im aware).. with this option you are in a 2 year contract, the pay isnt the best starting out , and its about an hr drive from home.

Fast forward again maybe a few days after applying and meeting with suburban, I finally hear back from the state and they should be sending my funding to the school with a start date June 17th, 2 week long course, suburban role starts June 3rd. If I get my CDL on my own through school there is no contract of course and my apprentice position converts to a drive role..what would you do ?
