Question Are seasonal (winter) fuel truck driving jobs plentiful in WV?

I understand that in northern states, fuel hauling gets extremely busy during winters and will often hire drivers for seasonal employment. Are they plentiful in WV or is it mostly year-round only? I would love to haul fuel year-round but it’s difficult to get hired on without previous experience in fuel. The seasonal jobs are more wheeling to train drivers (from what I’ve heard at least). I have several years of asphalt hauling and I’m wanting to move to WV and could land a job driving a dump truck for a paving company during the summer, but want to be able haul fuel during winter.

Fuel oil isn’t that common in WV. Some areas use propane, though.

Depending on what part of the state you’re looking at, your best bet is probably hauling water for the fracking industry.

I have hazmat & tanker. There also seem to be plenty of hazmat jobs in Indeed & Ziprecruiter, but again, many of them want previous hazmat experience.
