I have an Interview With Cox Petroleum!

I did it with a reefer/dry van outfit basically getting starved out for the year. Its a sacrifice. Your first year will suck, period. Dont do what i did though see if prime tanker division or schneider bulk hires in your area. Two companies you will learn alot from. They will train you right and you will be in demand after 1 year. A lot of tanker companies wont give me a chance because my year isnt in tanks. Something to think about.

 

Probably not in fuel. I think the companies that wanted tanker experience were chemical and crude oil. Still, starting off with tanker experience is only going to help you and place you ahead of the pack imo.

 

He said the way it works is the application gets sent to corporate (Bakersfield) for approval and that typically takes two weeks. Then if they green light me i do the drug test and physical agility test, and it takes 1 week to get the results back for the drug test. Once thats clear he gives me the heads up to give my boss my two weeks notice. After i leave my company i go to Bakersfield for a 4 day all expenses paid orientation.

Right now its all in corporate's hands. He said he thinks im in good shape and they should approve me but still they have the final word. Its been a week since my interview so one more week and we shall see.
