    I'm going to call the phone numbers for every oil hauling position in ND tomorrow and tell every single interviewer I have 3 years experience hauling oil.

    (I actually just finished truck driving school two months ago. Have my CDL-A with all endorsements but no experience LoL)

    Any tips on how to lie more effectively during the interview and terminology I should be familiar with are welcome.

    EDIT:
    Concerning the 3 years of experience:

    My MVR is clean, but if they check my employment history and see that I've never worked for a trucking company before, then of course, I'm screwed.

    But... not ALL employers check your employment history... so I might get lucky, right?

    Show me a company that you can pull this one over on and I will show you a company that you would be making the biggest mistake of your life driving for.

    And when the first company pulls your driving history and whacks you with lying on your application, what's your back up plan? Cause you shore won't be driving, I guarantee!

    THAT is irony. A recruiter being lied to by a driver. LOL, the world is upside down.

    And when you find yourself out on your ### in the nut numbing cold you will have reaped what you sown. Suck it up and start at the bottom like the rest of us and get your time in the seat with someone watching you that knows what the hell they're doing and go from there. These aren't ####### tonka toys and you have absolutely NO idea just how much you DON'T know yet. Lie about having experience and get put in a truck, if anyone will even do it, and you're a danger to everyone around you , not to mention yourself. thank god i don't run up there. If you'll cut those kinds of corners, what kind of corners are you going to cut out on the road? Personally don't even want to be on the same road with you.
