    Well i am trucking school through a local community college up here (tution was only $400). Its an 11 week course where we drive 4 days a week and have 1 day of week for class. I have 1 speeding ticket and 1 at fault accident in the last 3 years.will it be hard for me to get a job in the oil patch or do you think i would get a driving job right away? Do you think they would hire me?

    I don't want to discourage you but, no experience and two major infractions on your driving record will make it very tough to get hired by anyone as a CDl driver. Your best bet may be to work for an oil services company where they need you to have a CDl but you will not be driving most of the time. You need 3-5 years of a clean driving record before your two infractions might not affect you. Some companies go back as far as 15 years to check your driving record. Good luck.

    MBI is huge. They bought up a lot of companies last few years. There is plenty of hours. As long as you have the right attitude and willingness you can make it with any company. But with marks on your MVR it will be tough and you'll have to settle with a second rate outfit until they fall off. Insurance companies decide to insure a driver. If they say no the company has to say no.

    Get a copy of your MVR and see for yourself what is on there. Of course they will let you know before hand if you are hired or not before you go anywhere

    I have dealt a little with MBI in Lignite. I have delivered new frac tanks to them. A few week age I had dropped a new crude oil trailer at the border to go to Canada. I was having fuel filter issues. I pulled into MBI and asked to borrow a bay in their shop to change filter. It was 25 below zero and windy. The shop foreman let me in and one of the mechanics asked if i needed any help. Very helpful. And much appreciated too. I guess what I'm getting at is they seem to be good people. Good luck.
