Fuel hauling advice

Dont forget to have the ‘tanker’ endorsement, not just hazmat. There is a lot of hazmat that does not need tanker.

 

When I was hauling chemicals, I remember talking to a hand at a stop who lived near Houston somewhere. He told me about an OTR job he used to do hauling av gas and Jet A to little airports all around the west, out loaded, back empty. Said he went to a lot of funny little airports you would never know were there unless you were a pilot. I always thought that would be a fun job, but I don't want to move to the Gulf.

 

@Lav-25
Let me ask you this because my DMV is remedial. And a local fuel job just opened up by me for low experience guys.

I have all my endorsements. Twic. Etc.
The DMV, twice now, after passing background and the test, and online eldt, reissued the same dang license to me instead of throwing the X endorsement on there lol.

Called in, to the state, she says she sees the hazmat, but the office has to fix the physical copy. So…a third trip after weeks of waiting for it in the mail. (I can also login online and see my hazmat doesnt expire for 23 months etc)

You would be able to see I do in fact have an X right? Or not you either. Feel like Im about to miss an opportunity here thanks to a DMV derp. (Va state)

 

Definitely. Just had them print it out today ,waiting for the finally fixed version too lol. Thanks again!

 

And even with all of the requirements, is still hard to get a job nowadays (at least in South Tx) all the companies hauling fuel have already their family members or someone that knows someone in the company and you never get the opportunity... it's been years for me trying to get a job nearby where I live and even with 6 years of experience hauling fuel and cng, still no answer from all of these companies nearby

 

Around here the dirt haulers are making as much as the fuel haulers..

Doesn’t really seem worth it
