    Thinking of heading to North Dakota soon and trucking. From Montana so I'm familiar with the territory.

    Any leads? Advice?

    Got my CDL in November, trained with an outfit Dec-Feb and been solo/team for a month.

    26, clean MVR, no drugs. Will get Hazmat.

    Found a few youtube videos to give you a "sense"

    [video=youtube_share;CO9eLksDv6k]http://youtu.be/CO9eLksDv6k[/video]

    [video=youtube_share;buErsfgGn3c]http://youtu.be/buErsfgGn3c[/video]

    The second, longer video is very good and offers a lot of useful info.

    Plenty of others at youtube. Search "north dakota oil gas", "bakken", "shale oil jobs", etc

    I just spent 8all months there. Tons of jobs and work. Very little housing. Get on the ND job service and start getting phone numbers and call the companies with trucks.
