    No I’m sick of dry van and reefer. It’s supposed to be juice and liquor. I wanted to try something new. I’ve never done any of this.

    Based on my experiences there -- Oakley was/is NOT a good place to jump into the tanker segment of trucking.

    I would suggest you try Indian River Transport, instead.

    Currently in that part. Because of barely not enough strength to handle tanker work

    They must be pretty slow with tanker work, do you plan to move to tankers ?

    They have a terminal in Laredo. And I occasionally see their tankers rolling up and down 77 and 59 between Houston and Corpus.

    I appreciate that info. Yeah I just saw they had something going on out of Laredo. I’ll have to keep an eye out running back that corridor when I go home. Supposed to fly out for orientation on the 11th

    I was tempted to go to Oakley for their day rate. Upto $350/day for regional or $450/day for OTR.
