      All I’ve heard is good things about Gemini. the closest one is about a hour and a half, there nearest market from them is 30 mins and not sure if they would hire someone that far though have seen there trucks come through the city I live in but maybe I’ll give it a shot after I build my resume as a fuel hauler would love to work for these guys.

    How hard was it too learn tanker? Were you nervous at first cause it was something different and new challenge? How long was training and how much do you get paid during training?

    Cameras. I started driving before the Cameras and bells and whistles that are now forced upon today's drivers. You have to look at the big picture. It starts with Cameras, and you tell yourself I'm one of the good guys, I don't text or do anything unsafe. Companies are going to implement things like Cameras or whatever else they decide to come up with. Question is, do you have a line that is crossed when a company implements something where you say that's not acceptable or is the money and being at home every night trumps everything else?🤔
