    Happy for you both..I think it's great having them haul crude or anything else for that matter..I try to help ladies when possible.not because they cant handle it, but just the way I was raised.

    We relocated to west Texas to haul oil and there are plenty of jobs there. Some only hire experienced drivers but there are a few that are willing to train. (I know...scary right?)
    Pecos Gathering is a good company. They were just bought by NGL. Average pay is about $350-$400 a day if you are willing to work. The benefits are so-so, but they are a pretty laid back company. We've since moved on to a different company but only because we absolutely HATE Texas. We were recruited by a few others in the area. They are worth checking out.
    Sunoco
    PT&T
    Holly Frontier
    Folse
    CVR
    Tesero
    Oxy

    We make good money at this..and yes, it's an easy job for woman who is willing to work. I'm a tiny 4'10" and I can sling a hose around just fine.
