    Are some of the fuel/oil/propane jobs also seasonal?

    Ya at least up here they are always looking for seasonal help for the winter. I’m sure that far south wouldn’t be as much demand as here but I would imagine there would be some at least.

    Alright thanks. Just one more thing; do you think many of the seasonal fuel jobs would be willing to hire someone with no prior fuel-hauling experience? (Again I’ve got a little over 2 years in a tractor-trailer, 3 in a tandem, all 5 of which were in a 10-speed).

    Well if you had your HazMat I don’t see why they wouldn’t. I checked with 2 here and they both acted like they’d hire me with no fuel experience. I ended up getting on with a full time company tho instead. They may be more desperate up here tho. In the winter there’s propane and fuel delivery trucks everywhere. I’ve always thought it would be a fun job, but idk if I’ll ever do it. I really enjoy my flatbed work.
