Don’t know which fuel companies carry what reputation up there but I’m in favor of hauling fuel. It’s not for everybody, however next to line haul it’s bread and butter.. They only want one year but if you put together A resume and give ‘em a phone call you may be hired tomorrow. You’ll sleep in your own bed every night and be making stops in your own neighborhood. Sure you gotta deal with the people. But it’s a new experience every day. Despite sometimes doing the same stops.. job is easy just have to respect it

That might be a perfect fit if I can get in because I've wanted to be a suicide jockey since I got my CDL. Not sure how long it will take me to get endorsed since I know hazmat takes forever with finger printing and all the bs hoops you gotta jump through to get it but I heard tanker is pretty easy and can be done pretty quickly. I had a backing accident a while ago that might effect my chances of getting hired, I had to blindside in to a extremely tight spot and accidentally bumped a trailer and tore off the hydro box on it and cracked the reefer door. Even if I can't get in to hauling fuel I'm sure there's no shortage of food grade companies in the central valley that would be happy to get me in a truck.

I apologize in advance further long paragraph. I just terminated from my job today for refusing to take a load. I had just made a thread about this company called Dhaliwal Brothers Trucking and the illegal crap that the owners Jassi, Sonny, and Jasprit pull off and somehow get away with. I haven't been paid in going on a month now because I'm never able able get to the yard when the guy who does payroll is there to do paychecks. The way payroll works is that when you are at the yard you turn in all of you're BOL's from you're trip and give it to dispatch then they calculate you're miles and it takes 24 hours for payroll to process it and then you get you're check and cash it in. Unfortunately the owner Jassi who handles payroll hasn't been at the office much and every time I get to the yard he is gone and no one else can do the payroll so I haven't been paid for the last 3 trips. I told them I was going home after this delivery and not going back out until they paid me the 2 checks they owe me they started a new policy that the most current check must be held to keep as a deposit to prevent truck abandonment since it's been a huge issue recently last month I had to fly out twice to recover a truck. I was told I needed to pick up a load going to Houston and I refused since my account is overdrawn and my girlfriend just had to pay my phone bill and our rent. I was told to either pick up the load or bring the truck back and that i was fired so I brought the truck back and one of the owners told me they are going to scar my DAC so that I won't be able to get another job. I took pictures and a video of the truck at the yard so hopefully they can't try and say I abandoned the truck. Is it worth trying to find another job after this? I already have had 3 jobs. My first was at Western Express and had to leave because even though I was getting really good miles with them and I just couldn't survive off the paychecks I was getting since CPM was only. 34 I think on a sliding pay scale and also getting any hometime was almost impossible with them and it was too hard on my girlfriend and kid to not be able to see me for almost 4 months. My second job was with a Russian LLC out of Chicago who one day out of the middle of nowhere re routed me and every other truck back to the yard because he had been shut down, my third was with Dhaliwal and I also attended an orientation with a company in Oklahoma but didn't get hired because I didn't know how to drive a 13 speed and they only had a few 10's avaliable. Is it worth trying to find another carrier to take me on after this or should I go back to the oilfields? I've been looking for a job for the past couple of weeks but most companies have said no, a few have said yes like John Christner, Heartland Express, Gilson, K&B but I don't want to risk getting on a plane for orientation and getting sent back home. I also don't want to be in a situation where in a few months down the road I am looking for a new job again, I am sick of job hopping

I have a news flash for you - If they have not paid you in over a month, they are not going to pay you. Getting your haz-mat is not that difficult, you make the appointment, get fingerprinted, get approved, take the test, done! You, my friend, are on the road to where every misstep in life is someone else's fault. Make up your mind to get your s together and make positive things happen!

I don't know if this one is any good or not; you can go check it out. Some driver posted 2 or 3 yrs. ago he was running back and forth from Fresno to Florida.

Driver Services or Driver Temp to Perm Placement Services (The FREE Ones) usually require at minimum, 18 Months Experience, Road, Local or Combination.

IF the "Backing Accident" was a recorded event and is on your DAC (from what You stated about that one employer), it'll be some time to "clear" and most if not all potential Employers will ask about it.

Get Out And Look, regardless of Backing Angle yet ESPECIALLY WHEN BLIND SIDE, which would have prevented the "Accident w/ Damages"!!
MANY OF US have exited the Truck MANY TIMES when Blind Side backing, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT!!
It's called Cover Your Action or Control Your Approach.

THANKS, CHEERS!!

Put in a app then give em a call, the fuel industry loves ex military/army… going off of your handle… Don’t go into it expecting to be turned down a lot of fuel companies are lacking for qualified drivers that want to do it… you do way less work than foodservice

If you go in for an interview be sure not to use that term. It makes management very nervous.
