Why ND when Eagle Ford is booming as well? If you're looking to relocate, I'm working a non-cdl job for a company that is hiring for CDL drivers for Fuel. We fuel on Frac sites, 16+ hour days...But you gotta have your tanker and hazmat of course. But they pay good, and when you hit OT...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


Oh yeah, it's in San Antonio.

Not looken to relocate but that's where ya hear the most about, know a guy that is 2 weeks on 1 week of up their. I don't know a lot about the oilfield but I do have a tanker and hazmat endorsement.

You wouldn't have to go that far to find oilfield CDL work. Oklahoma has some stuff going on right now as well. Just make sure you research the company good before committing. I work with some guys who have worked CDL jobs in OK, ND, AR areas. Some companies told them to go up there work for a couple weeks and they ended up keeping them up there for 3 months! Only reason it wasn't longer was because the driver drove back home and quit because of it.

Our oil collection guy said they need drivers badly. Apparently the new oil thing down south has lured a bunch away. I forgot the name of the company, but you'd need Class A with hazmat since you're hauling used oil and antifreeze.

 

[Stukaman]

I have all those things M Sage

There are tons of trucking jobs in the Permian Basin (Midland, Odessa, etc.), with many offering sign on bonus for those with CDL's.

You won't have any trouble working overtime either. Check on-line using the local papers.

Only drawback is the housing is in short supply, and demand a high price, as do motels, etc.

Hell, if you just want to "flip burgers" or be a "sandwich artist", those jobs are available also.
