    That's a long day, most I've pushed is 14 and that was only because no driver was going to be on the truck next shift and the load had to go. Nothing like pulling in the yard the next morning and it's already daylight lol.

    How hard is it to get into being a fuel hauler I got 2 years experience pulling a tanker in the oilfield but I'm thinking about jumping ship it's getting to unstable here in the west texas oil fields I know I need to get my hazmat. im only 23 do y'all think that would affect my chances of getting hired on somewhere?

    With your prior tanker experience shouldn't be a problem at all. Besides whether you have 0 or 20yrs experience hauling fuel any good company will train / retrain you regardless.

    No reported injuries. Amazing since the cab was flattened. Can't tell for sure what company it is. W900. Maybe golden bear but that's a huge guess since it's hard to make out the color.
