Texas Oil field driving jobs.

Hello everyone!

I just had a few questions about qualifications and such for these oil jobs in Texas. I have had my class A for 7 years. I currently work at a beverage distributor in the Southeast. I guess my main concern is if I would be qualified to do this or it's a pipe dream. I have be in a sales/management aspect for the last three years, although I don't drive/deliver like I did everyday in the past we are still required to maintain medical cards and drive the trucks when needed. The tractor's we have are automatic with a 16 bay trailer, also we have some 6 speeds with a 40' trailer. I will list what I think my positives/negatives are.

Positives:

1. No mvr infractions. 2. Current CDL/medical card. 3. Pass a drug test and DOT exam. 4. College education (not sure this is relevant for this type of position). 5. Ability of get hazmat/tanker in a efficient time frame.

Negatives:

1. No experience with a 9,10,13 speed. 2. No experience in the Texas terrain. 3. No hazmat/tanker endorsement. 4. Limited driving experience in the last few years.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Regards,

B
