depends on the overtime

A lot of vacuum truck companies are hiring too. Most require haz-mat but some don't. There are a lot of companies looking for drivers in the Eagle Ford area where I live. Even I am going to start looking for a oilfield job with a local company.

Lots of job fairs in San Antonio for oil field work.

remember if you are classified as an operator and not a driver the DOT rules for rest are different.

Another thing to remember West Texas it is easy to find a job, it impossible to find a place to live. I am sure that the EagleFord areas are just as bad. Be prepared to bring your own living space (travel trailer), some companies are putting up man camps to house employees. As has been mentioned the oil field is work, work, work and then you get some time off maybe. You will make more money then you would in any other business. That was the problem I always had when trying to find work out side of the oil industry. I was always paid way better than other industry. Many companies are having job fairs to find employees.

I have access to my own RV through a family member job seems like the easy part just knowing whether I can hang is the issue.

Midland is apparently awful, a friend from school is shoveling out twice the rent we are here in Laredo for the same size apartment.

Eagle ford isn't all bad depending where you are, the other half got a job working that formation and we live in laredo. She has a 2-3hr drive out to site but when you are on 10 off 5 its not like you make it daily. If you want to live in Cotulla though be prepared to spend some serious money just to split an apartment or duplex with someone.

HSE guy here as well. If you can get a job in this industry, do it. The work is very hard, but the pay is very good.

 

[Stukaman]

What's HSE?

Have you thought about muddlogging. Rigging up and down is the only hard work.

 

[Stukaman]

I'm 100% new to anything oilfield this is just my first opportunity in that world. I know I will learn more about the other aspects as I go along like this mudd logging you speak of.

Non stop busting your ass. That's all you need to know.

Dont forget to add travel away from family, and some really long days depending on your crew.

I'm a burnt out driver in DFW willing to drive but the pay needs to be right hence looking in the oilfield. I'm not from Texas know nothing about the oil field other than hard hats and fire resistant clothing 24/7 so I'm interested in the work.

We are needing drivers now. I work in the Eagle Ford. PM me if interested. I work for a PSL of Halliburton. You will need Hazmat and Tanker certification.

 

[Stukaman]

I've got those two items I just hate the weather east of Abilene.
