Employment

Thank you for your interest in employment with Farmers Oil Company, Inc. We hire OTR drivers with a concentration on Tankers running primarily in the Midwest. We also pull dry Vans, Reefers and Conestoga flatbeds during the summer season. All drivers need to be willing to pull any kind of trailer. We do not have dedicated fleets or routes. We do however have what we would call “seasons” and there are two of them. Blending season which generally runs from October thru May is going to be the bulk of the tanker work throughout the Midwest. Box season will generally run from June thru September and can cover 48 states and Canada transporting freight of all kinds with the Vans, Reefers and Conestoga flatbeds. Our trucks are equipped with Samsara Telematics. This will run your logbook and the cameras on and in the truck. All trucks are equipped with two cameras on the passenger side (one facing forward and one facing back) and a single on the drivers side (facing back) as well as the forward and rear facing camera in the truck. All trucks have an inverter and refrigerator.
