Sisu Energy, which describes itself as a "cutting-edge trucking company," says applicants must be over 25, with at least two years of experience, and must have a commercial driver's license.
Jim Grundy, CEO of Sisu Energy, told Texas TV station KENS 5: "Insurance companies won't insure you if you're not 25 years old, if you don't have two years of experience. So, as a new driver coming out, these opportunities aren't available to you."

If I only had 2 years experience. $56,000 a month seems pretty good.

It would be a pay cut, but I'd consider.

Plus you get to talk on the CB and pee in a jug. Sounds like my dream job.

There was a thread about this a few days ago, it’s a catchy headline. They’re a frac sand operation and that $14k a week is what their top owner/operators bring in revenue, not take home. Take home after insurance, fuel, and the company takes their cut is around half that, still decent money but you’re not truly getting paid $14k/week.
Additionally, they’re looking for owner operators who have equipment setup for this work, specialized trucks and trailers(pneumatic bulk trailers likely), not the usual clowns driving for Swift or JB Hunt, etc. Not to mention they’ll be servicing oilfield locations in Texas, which beats the dog shite out of equipment. Imagine the wear and tear on an 80,000lb truck and trailer going down hundreds of miles of dirt roads a week.

Fort Worth, northern Texas, is offering to pay experienced drivers $14,000 a week—$728,000 a year—as the U.S. grapples with a nationwide shortage of truckers.
Just let my CDL go last year had it since 1990 and never used it.

Don't forget the lot lizards and the meth. Could also consider taking up serial killing.

If you kill 20 hookers over the course of 18 years and nobody notices are you really a serial killer?

A real truck driver calls them “CDLs”.

Sure, just means you were good enough to not get caught. Allegedly.

My dad had one in our early 80s cutlass supreme. He worked in insurance and used to do arson investigations. His handle was "Ash Kicker".

Are they running drugs?

I think that’s a prerequisite to even be considered.

This makes more sense. That the $14K number is what the driver make in revenue weekly for the company they drive for.
A friend of mine is an owner operator and he only accepts jobs that are dock to dock. He would never put his rig thru those oilfield roads.

How much is that in Deutschmarks?

I was out on the West Coast, tryin' to make a
buck
And things didn't work out, I was down on my luck
Got tired a-roamin' and bummin' around
So I started thumbin' back East, toward my home town.
Made a lot of miles, the first two days
And I figured I'd be home in week, if my luck held out this way
But, the third night I got stranded, way out of town
At a cold, lonely crossroads, rain was pourin' down.
I was hungry and freezin', done caught a chill
When the lights of a big semi topped the hill Lord, I sure was glad to hear them air brakes come on
And I climbed in that cab, where I knew it'd be warm.
At the wheel sit a big man, he weighed about two-ten
He stuck out his hand and said with a grin
"Big Joe's the name", I told him mine
And he said: "The name of my rig is Phantom 309."
I asked him why he called his rig such a name
He said: "Son, this old Mack can put 'em all to shame
There ain't a driver, or a rig, a-runnin' any line
Ain't seen nothin' but taillights from Phantom 309."
Well, we rode and talked the better part of the night
When the lights of a truck stop came in sight
He said: "I'm sorry son, this is as far as you go
'Cause, I gotta make a turn, just on up the road."
Well, he tossed me a dime as he pulled her in low
And said: "Have yourself a cup on old Big Joe."
When Joe and his rig roared out in the night
In nothin' flat, he was clean out of sight.
Well, I went inside and ordered me a cup
Told the waiter Big Joe was settin' me up
Aw!, you coulda heard a pin drop, it got deathly quiet
And the waiter's face turned kinda white.
Well, did I say something wrong? I said with a halfway grin
He said: "Naw, this happens every now and then
Ever' driver in here knows Big Joe
But son, let me tell you what happened about ten years ago.
At the crossroads tonight, where you flagged him down
There was a bus load of kids, comin' from town
And they were right in the middle, when Big Joe topped the hill
It could have been slaughter, but he turned his wheel.
Well, Joe lost control, went into a skid A
nd gave his life to save that bunch-a kids
And there at that crossroads, was the end of the line
For Big Joe and Phantom 309
But, every now and then, some hiker'll come by
And like you, Big Joe'll give 'em a ride
Here, have another cup and forget about the dime
Keep it as a souvenir, from Big Joe and Phantom 309!"
