Can job fairs be a good way to get into fuel/oil hauling?

I don’t remember if it was on this forum or the oilfield forum, but I saw where someone posted that they lived in Texas working a job, and they took a vacation to North Dakota for several days and found them a job at a job fair and relocated there very shortly after. Do other states have job fairs with hazmat driving opportunities?

I understand that I’d probably need to plan to relocate up north, as the fuel hauling jobs in the south are too highly coveted to get hired on unless you have many years of experience. I also realize that some of the companies that hire drivers with no hazmat experience may not be the most enjoyable to work for (I’ve seen reviews on Indeed of people saying to “get your experience and go elsewhere”). But I figure it’s the equivalent of a newbie driver working for a mega carrier; it’s a total drag to work for them but you bear up and do it for the next couple of years until you get the experience to find something better. I’m willing to work nights, weekends and holidays, and I’ll probably work 70 hours weekly during busy season (I’ve read some places make you work a 6th day if you haven’t run out your 70 hour clock).

I have a little over 2 years driving a tractor-trailer dump, and FWIW 3 years prior to that in a tandem, all with a 10-speed. Could it be a good idea for me to attend a job fair up north? I think I would prefer West Virginia due to the low living costs compared to the pay (I’ve seen plenty of jobs ranging between $25-30 hourly with $600 month rentals in the area), or perhaps Ohio. While they’ll have some tougher winters than what I’m accustomed to, they’re not as bad as the Dakotas.

Edit: I have no desire to go OTR, and I’d prefer not to sleep in a man-camp.
