Hey guys just joined. Hoping to get some info for when I get out of the Marines. I get out in the middle of August and I'm currently getting my CDL class A I graduate in April. After that going to try and get has mat and tanker endorsements. I'm really trying to get into running oil and make some pretty good money. I know North Dakota and Texas are hitting it pretty hard right now and I'm willing to move me and my wife where ever. Just wondering if there's any fellas out there with some experience under their belt and could point me in the right direction of what I should do from where I am now and any suggestions. Thanks I really appreciate it.

Alright I'll look into the chemical tanker idea. Do they hire guys without any experience? I'm not really looking to be go almost all the time away from the wife that's why I figured oil hauling might be more local and good pay.

In my opinion the absolute best thing any new driver can do though is to go tanker from the start in any capacity. You will make more with less driving and more hometime. Tankers are where it's at in this industry.
Dna Mach, SoTxTrucker and 91B20H8 Thank this. -

I doubt you could get an oil haulin job with no driving experience., you could come out here and haul water for 3-6 months , then start applying for oil.

Here's some more that hire new CDL graduates:
Schneider Bulk
Tidewater Transit
Groendyke Transport
CTL Transportation
SVTN
Coastal Transport
Probably all of these companies hire in Texas. Houston or about anywhere in Southeast Texas is tanker heaven. -
Ckbms21 are you in the the oil fields now? If so where?
