    No some r set up sideways others r setup top to bottom. Others you only have to hookup a hose to pumps and ithers u gotta attach elbows to the pump then hoses from tank to pump then anouther hose from pump to where ur pumping too. It's like open the cabinet and wonder what u get.

    There are Trailers but its not a drop yard it a tank wash, no loaded trailers.

    If you live in Florida you will be out 12-14 with a full 2 at home. They also have some excellent dedicated accounts that may have you thru the house 2-3 nights a week w/ 1 day off every weekend.

    Outside Florida it will depend on were you live, could be more or less. I have a friend who lives in Omaha and is home 36-48 hours every weekend.

    Oakley also has way more than it's fear share of "No Mads" (drivers who have no family or home so they live year round in the truck)

    I live about 20 miles north of Houston Texas. I was told I would be out 2-3 weeks. That's from an email I received directly from a recruiter named Steve Smith
