    That’s eventually the plan. Need to apply for a different visa once I secure enough funds!!

    Hello. I just stumbled on to this page. I am thinking of leaving Canada for the US. I have always worked/driven for others during my 24 year career in trucking, and have particularly enjoyed hauling things that slosh, be it septic, Class 8 Corrosives (Americans call it HazMat), or back hauling produced water/crude oil again in Northern Alberta. Are any companies looking to hire any drivers for oilpatch hauling in ND, OK, or TX ? Other states may have active oil patches, also. Those are the three that are the most active, however. Any insights/replies you can give would be appreciated.

    10-4 man. I remember you were always forward thinking and maybe on the ####y side but always confident you’d make it one day. I highly look forward to the day your a multi multi millionaire and only drive as you please. Take care. You got this.

    We did just spend a pretty penny on a brand new LPG tanker…. It even came with missiles!

    Do those really pull that much different than a regular bottle? They haven’t caught on out here in the Midwest as much as they have in ND and MT.
     
    Siinman Thanks this.

    So the company, Exosent, based out of Texas builds these tanks off the states laws and it’s very technical.

    It’s pretty cool the engineering that goes into these tanks. He bases his designs off low center of gravity, he’s only had 2 tanks ever roll over from every single one he’s built.

    I look forward to buying a bunch of these tanks!
     
    Crude Truckin' and Long FLD Thank this.
