    If anyone knows ND Energy Systems out of New Town let me know if it is a good company. I Talked to Craig a couple days ago and he has 3 trucks and they haul crude. He has his own living quarters, but no benefits. I was up there 3 weeks ago and was offered a job cementing with Sanjel. I just got my hazmat TSA reults back and adding it on next week with doubles and triples , and allready have my tanker. Just sent Falco my resume and going to fill out an app tonight, but it looks like they want tanker experience which I don't have. I have drove loads gross at 94,500 with pusher axels in winter conditions and offroad, just no tanker exp. Any suggestions, I just want to haul crude.

    I wouldn't go to work for anyone with only 3 trucks. They can't own their work, they must be owner ops. Falco is a good company to haul crude for if they'd take you. Sanjel is a good foot in the door to the oil industry. If you can get experience there you can get much better jobs down the road. Sanjel is a good job...but it won't pay as good as hauling crude.

    I have my class a, tanker, hazmat, doubles/triples...seems as though the job listings are calling for two years Tanker exp all of a sudden when 6 or 7 months back everyone was saying 'will train' ...any advice or tips on what kind of jobs, or companies I can go about applying for that WILL train? I'll take just about anything to get my foot in the door. I have 3 yrs driving experience and would eventually like to haul crude. Any advice In the right direction would be helpful. Thanks.

    you could try to find a job hauling water, that will give you the tanker xp. Then after a few months start to apply for a crude job, as the winter comes around more jobs will prolly open up.

    You've got mail!

    Apologies on the slow reply, been out of town recruiting for the last week.

    I don't get to go out and do that much anymore... I handle more advertising now, so it's nice to get out and do that occasionally!
