    Exactly Michael there is nothing free in this world. Those that think they are owed something and that need to have their head examined.

    Awesome video. I’m studying for my CDL and I want to get my tanker, hazmat and doubles/triples endorsements. I can’t wait to start slinging hoses.

    Just accepted an offer with a local oil company to haul fuel. Making the switch finally from dry van to tanker after 2 years.
    Came across your video searching tanker life. Very nicely done video and like how you also put the highway in the top right.
    Can't wait to start the new job. Tankers and gravel trains is what would have me working at getting experience as dry van to work towards to. And got lucky with the local family owned place wanting to invest the time and money to take me on their team.
    Stay safe out there

    Trying to get into trucking. Been working in plants as an Industrial Mechanic for the past 5 years and I’m tired of it. Video was inspirational.
    You got to build up experience before you can haul fuel right?
    Also thought it was pretty cool how you put the Highway/Interstate you were on in the top corner.

    Hey Mikey, first things first how is little Jonathan doing I've been praying for the little guy since I read the post. That one Rd. you were on you passed a Pete. That looked just like rusty same color pipes it eaven looked like the same grill that rusty has now didn't get a good look at the grill from the angle of the camera but it looked like a reflection of Rusty. At least the tractor. You have a good night and let me or us know how Jonathan is doing I would appreciate it thank you Michael. ✌️☮️🙏 R-bkts.

      When you actually get on the lane don't take but about 10 min depending on speed of pumps.. but to get there and wait then get on rack can be a average of 30 min to hour
