Employment

We appreciate your interest in employment with Farmers Oil Company, Inc. We hire over-the-road (OTR) drivers with a concentration on tankers, running primarily in the Midwest. We also pull dry vans, reefers, and Conestoga flatbeds during summer.

All drivers must 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 through May, is the bulk of the tanker work throughout the Midwest. Box season, which generally runs from June through September, can cover 48 states and Canada transporting freight of all kinds with vans, reefers, and Conestoga flatbeds.

• 25 years of age
• Hazmat and Tanker endorsements
• Two years of verifiable over-the-road experience within the last three years
• Have not been cited for any accidents or major moving violations in the last three years
• No more than two minor traffic violations in the last three years
• No serious or disqualifying traffic violation which includes the following:
  1. Excessive speeding involving any single offense for any speed of 15 MPH or more above the posted speed limit
  2. Reckless driving, as defined by state or local law or regulation, including but not limited to the offense of driving a motor vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property
  3. Improper or erratic lane changes
  4. Following the vehicle ahead too closely
  5. Hit and run, leaving the scene of an accident, or failure to report an accident
  6. Violating a state or local law or ordinance prohibiting texting while driving a motor vehicle
  7. Violating a state or local law or ordinance restricting or prohibiting the use of a handheld mobile device while driving
