1. Well put your address as a MOTEL in SAN ANTONIO/ODESSA etc my dude. Im not trying to be mean. (Psst. Even though you dont live there he he he)

2. I did the same thing, that's the only way. Just like if you want a good price on a car, you're gonna get run out of a few joints first.

3. Shale tank didnt have that many hours, but its tanker experience my dude, and THAT says a lot.

4. Awesome! So do I.

5. Midland is easier! Sunoco Logistocs hires new people, Occidental Petroleum and Stallion Oilfield Services do to, and they are based in the permian basin, and Sunoco called me back after like 6 weeks, but still.

5. Pumpco only has online apps, but you gotta call them to get their fax number. But they WILL WILL WILL get back to you in about 2 to 3 weeks.

6. I dont know about this one man.

Give Tyson Foods a call at 1-800-933-6442 out of Springdale Arkansas. They have company approved truck driving schools that they will take students from. Find out if any part of or all of Illinois is in their hiring area. If not, perhaps you could move to an area within their hiring area. Do inquire about it.

If you do move to Texas, I believe that the Dallas and Fort Worth areas of Texas are in Tyson Foods hiring area. You may want to check up on this just to be sure. Also, I believe that Waco Texas has less expensive housing than Dallas or Fort Worth. On your off time, you may want to take a trip to Waco Texas to check up on the rents for apartments or rooms for rent in duplex houses, etc..

If at all possible, try to come up with the money to fully pay for the tuition of one of Tyson Foods company approved truck driving schools. This way there is no debt to pay off and the stress is off of your shoulders.

Tyson Foods hauls beef, chicken, lamb, mutton, pork, veal, and various other frozen foods. There may be times that you will need to help unload your truck, from what I have heard from other people in the past. Boxed meat can weigh 50 or more pounds per box.

Tyson Foods has some of the best pay and benefits packages for an OTR truck driver in all of the United States of America. Tyson Foods also has a reputation of treating their drivers very decently. There are drivers that have been driving for Tyson Foods well over 20 plus years without ever having had any problems at all.

It is not unheard of for a Tyson Foods OTR truck driver to earn well over $60,000 plus a year. If I am not mistaken, I believe that their average earnings are $52,000 plus a year. Also, I believe that their average mileage is approximately 2600 miles a week, sometimes going over 3000 miles a week. Other times it can be less.

Keep in mind that you most likely will NOT start out making that type of money. There have been cases of beginning truck drivers hitting $40,000 on their 1st. year.

If I had a CDL, had experience, and was able to pass the physical, I would absolutely positively apply at Tyson Foods for an OTR job.

Good luck to you!

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

This is for the newbies running around with their heads cut off:

BANG!

-Guys, if you want to get into Frac apply with Schlumberger at www.sosemploymentgroup.com they WILL get back to you, and will hire you WITHOUT a CDL but you MUST meet their job requirements about job history!

BANG!
Pumpco is hiring newbies but you MUST have your CDL with X endorsement!!

if you want to get into hauling water or mud:

BANG!

-go to www.shaletanktruck.com they dont provide housing and they are located across south texas 18 bucks an hour to start and you just need your tanker endorsement!

BANG!

-Call JC Fodale Energy services at 888-336-3253!! They hire newbies with just tanker

A WORD to the wise

and this is probably the most important piece of advice!!: listen!

If you want to get hired, you need to talk to the Forman/Terminal manager/guy in charge. Unless their website specifically says online apps only, otherwise talking to the secretary only will get you nowhere!

BANG! LOL!

Good Info, I need to follow up with shale and high energy. You had to apply only so I'll be calling to see if I can get anything.
