    I've been driving for a few years now, but this will be the first winter that I will be hauling fuel throughout the state of Minnesota. I work for Kane Transport, and I've already noticed a big slowdown to my work load. Just looking for some tips from the more experienced drivers. Thanks.

    You can expect to be cold. (tip) Dress warm.

    I'm about to apply for a few jobs in the Minneapolis area hauling fuel, I don't know what to expect, and don't have any tanker experience (hauled water on the farm). Hopefully I get hired!

    It doesn't snow or get cold in MN anymore... Anybody work for IDT, or know of anybody who has?

    I work with a few guys who used to work for Holiday. Decent pay, I think around $20-$22/hr. They left because of management. Said micro management was taken to a new level. This is just what I have heard.
