Need work? South Texas Oilfield hiring like crazy!

This Texas thing looks interesting. In my head I'm weighing the pros and cons of Texas oilfield work vs nd. I understand in nd cell drivers are $20 plus an hour. What is it in Texas? I should also add 11 years driving experience every endorcement except hazmat which I will get again and only ticket I have is a log book ticket.

 

Realistically, what kind of money could someone make that has 1 yr otr but no tanker exp. Also a list of companies that would hire someone with no exp in tanker.

 

Sunoco any good? I am having a hard time understanding their pay system (houlry+miles+barrels) any info on that?

 

No hourly pay. You get paid by the barrels hauled and mileage. Only hourly rate you get is for mechanical failure, safety meetings, or management approved time

 

@loudhornsrule I tried to PM you but too fresh here on this forum... It won't let me. Any other way to contact ya?

 

Just post 5 more times and you can Pm..Need 7 posts

 

Not Sunoco anymore. Sold out terminals and ops to Energy Partners. Can't say how this will play out in future.

Also see my other post about Dragon........FYI......

 

FYI: Dragon Industries, a premiere mfg. of frac tanks and vacuum trailers laid off 84 from their Laporte Texas facility yesterday. It was a mixed crowd of trades too, welders, blasters, painters etc.

IMO these are core folks needed to produce a product. No folks, no / less product to sell / sold. One can only wonder what Dragon knows that prompted this action.

I thought oilfield was booming ! WTF!

Dont sound good, maybe one should wait a few before making a big move.

 

Challupa you are right and wrong. They did sell, but we are still called Sunoco. Thats what my check says. We were informed 3 months ago about the buyout, but that was the last thing we ever heard. NOTHING at all has changed.
