I know that isn’t what you want to hear, but unless you got a sweet deal lined up to get in with a fuel hauler…grass usually isn’t greener on the other side of the fence. 14 hour days are the norm for what I’m aware of as well, so make sure you consider that if you have an interview.
The issue I ran into is fuel haulers want only fuel or bulk tank experience, and there didn’t seem to be any way to get my foot in the door without ‘connections’ to make it happen. Having a HAZMAT, TWIC, and all that didn’t make any difference to them.
The trouble is, I know people with more experience than either one of us (25 yrs in, with some of that in management) that aren’t getting call-backs from job applications.
My only suggestion is to ask @Foxtrot08 if he has any suggestions for you.
