starting a gas hauling business

Can you start your own gas hauling business..? I'm pretty sure that's all major contracts.

 

Yes you can..... Takes lots of insurance . But the real problem is the big players don't want to deal with a 1 truck o/o. That leaves the off brand x type of stations.

Your best bet is leasing to a regional bulk hauler doing gas and go from there......

 

Are you a terrorist ? I am pretty sure DHS is checking u out right now. Your profile says u r a student!!!! I don't think you could get insured any where . Bond alone would have to b in the millions.

 

LOL !!! That's much better! Still I wonder how much ins will b with so little exp. How old r you by the way? I hauled fuel some years ago b-4 9-11 and there was a ton of regs for our company to meet then.

 

I know a lot of companies don't hire til 23, so be aware of that. Some hire at 21 or 22, but be sure to ask. With the kind of goals you have, and understanding that you'll have some time to wait, I'd just work on being a company driver and getting into a tanker division. I'm just guessing here, but I think most tanker divisions are probably gonna want you to be 23. Again, just check around.

 

Methinks you are gonna find out that your dream of hauling gas is is a mind-boggling experience. Get on with Kenan or KAG and try that for awhile and then figure out if this is really what you want to do.

 

You're in central CA so you will need a carb complient tractor (2010 and newer) or a tractor with the emissions filter or 2010 engine. KAG requires 3 yrs experience with clean mvr.
