    Would a gas company be ok with letting you get off for a weeding and honeymoon first starting out with them

    Unfortunately, most gas hauling companies drug test randomly and for pre-employment purposes. A "weeding" will most certainly cause you to test positive for THC.

    Haha, no really I know what you mean. It's like any other job. If they really need the drivers, they'll hold your job offer for you until after a wedding or honeymoon. Most companies won't just give you the time off right away unless for something like FMLA or worker's comp injuries.

    Explain it to them up front when you hire out with them that if it will be a problem you'll have to start afterwards. A good company will work with you on something like that.

    It depends. If you're only staying within 20-30 miles of gas terminal you could get about 5-6 loads off within 14 hours.
    If you're running 2.5 -3 hours out on each load u may get 2-3 loads done within 14 hours. Full load of gasoline depends on your tractor. A daycab can handle about 9000 gallons. Maybe 9200 but you would be pushing the 80k gross mark.
    But a sleeper cab would need to scale it back to around 8k-8500 gallons.
