    Like I said before, if it were me, I'd go to the nearest operator and ask them. They'll know everything you need to know.

    Most of companies I’d recommend want at least 2 years experience.
    Maybe try farm services centers, nutrien, helena agri, simplot, which ever one is in your area.
    get some experiences

    Don't know where you are located. If in a rural area go to the local elevators and see who hauls their product to processing facilities locally. LOTS of farmers have trucks and do this kind of work. Many are generally looking for help especially during busy times of year (fall mostly). Nutrien/Helena ect are also good suggestions. This all mostly translates into local work. Not the best income but a place to start.

    How is your entire family in that segment and you don’t have a hookup?
