Question about Crude hauling

Regardless of your statement, I have been hauling water for 12 years which is a non hazardous commodity. I know the game there. I did admit already if you read my original post that I just got my hazmat. I do not know if the "game" that you speak of is played the same hauling hazardous mats or not, which is why I came here to seek some advice from someone who knows. Im very irritated, yes which is different from being a "spastic". I paid all that money for an endorsement that was suppose to help my chances of bettering myself for my family and I got shut down on my first attempt. So yea I dont know how these crude hauling companies do their hiring. Im sure theyd rather have someone whos already trained. Unlike the water hauling outfits who will take anyone under the sun...

 

I want to reiterate before I sound like a prude, but I was told by an oil hauler that his company does look into factors such as credit history. Though its one of the last things they look at, he said unfortunately alot of companies are in fact doing it. He didnt say how it affects eligibility. I told him thats bs because if it took credit to get a job in the oil patch then thered be alot of unemployed people including myself. I understand water hauling companies dont check for things like that usually because most of them are out for a quick buck before the drilling and fracing stops and the production water dies off
. I just figured the oil hauling would be different since its more professional (at least it appears to be) and more serious.

 

I agree with the credit thing. I actually was invited to apply at the place that turned me down. Around here, we all know each other. I had the job in the hat until the lady at the terminal found out about my incident back in 09... ive applied at 2 others in the past week and they emailed me back wanting consent for a background check. I shall see what happens next... as far as the being out of a job goes, in 2011 everything in the area grinded to a halt for some reason for the water trucks. My friend who hauls oil was totally unaffected by it which is why I sought my hazmat endorsement. I just gotta keep pressing and thats what I intend to do.
