    And here's the thing about that, you'd have a job... you will be going to the places other drivers go to, you can now take some time too look and not worry about starving. ( I know they aren't the best...but) You can get the experience to go to a better company.

    I took a job I didn't really want ( retail) and my second week their I literally had 5 different companies call, 3 I said I wasn't interested ( retail) the 4th and 5th, I did interview's and took test's for... I heard back from the Post Office and as long as my back ground check is ok ( which it should be, I have nothing in it) I should start around the 2nd of next month. That's the way it is for most places, you have a job, it's easier to find a job.

    Nabors hires vac truck and floorhands in the West district without experience.

    I mean.. if you want to jump straight to crude hauling then by all means give it a shot. Filling out the application would certainly be more effective than asking here.

    gazelle transport hires no crude experience drivers, but you must have driving experience, which keeps changing from 1 year to 2 years.
