Most of our locally generated crude goes overseas, more stays in state than about 6 years ago but the actual amount processed here that is our own crude is a very small percentage indeed.

Hence the real reason behind the reasoning listed below, our crude is exported to be re-imported or is exported for sale to canada and mexico.

That said there are various ways around that ban anyway.

The unfilled demand for truck drivers is because they usually want YOU to own the semi and pay you only miles and require you to own a very specific semi

Meaning you likely can't actually make any money after you fullfill their requirements.
