    How many years of exp driving do you have?

    I’m thrown off with no experience
    That could go both ways no trucking experience. Or no oilfield experience

    P.s too lazy to read comments


    Edit: decided to read comments... stopped at the 8th one.

    I guess the best way would be to work for a company that gives you training after which the training fee get subtracted from the subsequent paychecks. Which companies offer that kind of deal?

    Pick the ones that offer you the most money for the least physical labor. The less physical you have to be, the more you are able to endure the more difficult mental thinking and so forth on challenging runs.

    I know for a fact the Texas Workforce here in Dallas actually pays for you to go to trucking school. Totally free. Not sure of the exact fine print, but I do know if you’re receiving unemployment you’ll eligible.
