I'd stay right there for awhile. You're getting experience with a tanker and I believe that will payoff in the long run. We've had a few drivers come from the oilfields and started hauling gasoline and they would never go back.

As far as what you believe in the news about fracking nothing that I have seen deals with oil wells. It's all natural gas that leaks out from the casing. People that can light their tap water on fire sure have a problem but you'll hear the companies say there's nothing wrong. I've made the most of my living from a major oil company and I wouldn't trust them in any case. Just look at how BP stated that deep well drilling is safe and don't worry. Then when they have the biggest spill in U.S. history they come out and say it's beyond todays technology to stop the leak. The product itself is better today than years ago but it's the methods they use to extract the product that makes the problems. Which effects much less. But then if you're one of those effected then it's much bigger.

What no more 6 and 3's schedules? They dont want any more Snow Mud or big bright yellow mud hoses? They wouldn't want to come back and run Iron to the well head? 4 Days straight on site because the casing crew has gotten stuck? hehe After a year of getting Tanker Experience now; Ive started to get the same though of Hauling Fuel. Just need the right setup and pay and Closer to Home

Thank you for contributing to the pollution and contamination of the ground water of 23 states. Your efforts are noted, and your pay is in proportion to the profit that comes from this. Maybe, if you care about any of those states you might take a read about fracking....It's not pretty, but I know the money is seductive. I don't blame those that make their living doing it, I just would hope that anyone would be aware of the results of it. It's kind of a bad deal for a lot of folks....
