Just spilled 10 gallons of crude and was fired, can I still find a job hauling crude?

Yup, I wouldn't worry much.

 

Don't sweat it, people still have jobs here in ND after laying a truck over, so oil spills is not a huge issue. Just be upfront with next employer during the next interview, say what exactly happened.

 

be up front and honest with the new company... less than a barrel spill, many will hire you.

 

Not familiar with that type work, seems harsh for the spill. Good Luck.

 

The only driveers whom have not spilled, do not drive tankers, should not be a big deal. They legally cannot discuss it anyway.

One door close so there is room for the next one to open.

 

Dont worry about it, I hear about more small spills every day. They all still have jobs here, along with wore out shovels.

 

if you have a spill out here, dirt has to be shoveled out and replaced. and that's just for a small spill. imagine a big spill.

costs are associated with spills. so, what seems harsh to us, isn't taken lightly with the boss when it comes to his bank account.

 

How severe realy depends on the oil preserve your working on. Any reportable amount is certainly not good. 10 gallons is certainly a reportale amount, but it should not on its own been termination, theres more to this story or record.

 

Now you know, don't let it happen again. I did crude work and now on pipeline with point being lease / land owner. They are pains in the back side. Carrier could be tossed off lease for this especially if it's happened before. Same with speeding / smoking etc.

Enviro cleanup crew ( 3 guys, a bobcat and shovels ) minimum $1500 call out. ( don't you have shovel on truck ? )

Anyway, no worries, just tell new carrier you had a small spill ( don't quote quantity ) and carrier tolerance was low. Say you have learned from it and it won't happen again.

Good luck
