The rv part suckered me in.

If anyone wondered what ever happened to me... I went to SOS Staff Temping and went to work at various places for 3 weeks, wkly pay made about $4-500 per week. Then came the offer to get on with Schlumberger and I became an "Equipt. operator" in the Cement dept... We became drivers, but you have to go to "they're" school to drive 'theyre' trucks!!! Which meant about 6 mos. wait to do that. I bailed at 5 mos.
Daily gig was $17 hr. OT was fluctuating from 80-120 hrs a week. Good pay for a beginnr in the oil fields! The job was to drag hoses thru the dust & mud rain or shine & follow every word the becconing 23 yr old lady boss told me to do!!! (Like did you hear me, Like Im tellin it like it is... like, like, like uuuggghhhh!!!! A cement equipt operator pumps cement to the well. You operate the dry cement truck. And dont ## up or you could be up to fired for messing up a million dollar well!!!!!!
The people are nice & helpful, the hours were 14 days on, 6 days off. Was cool too... housing until they "roll you over" into becoming a perm. employee (u start as a temp, 90 days ). I opted out because I would have to rent a place in midland... i have a place in Vegas & didnt want a place there, wanted housing provided, which they did for the first 90 days. (Nice 4 person trailer, room, kitchen, tv's, couches, all new!!) Was spoiled with that , did not want to split up my dough to many places, one income... dig me?
PS; go to SOS for temp work & for beginning with ANY OR ALL THE MAJORS IN THE AREA!!!! GOOD LUCK,
also, I went back to otr with Crete Carrier, .43 cpm second 6 mos. about $1k wkl as before, but looking for the elusive $100k jobs in the fields :>

Congrats. Sound like you went out there, kicked ###, and left on your own terms at least.
