Newbies In Texas

Only 40 during training? That's the opposite from the yards around BS. During training you get max hours and then they kick you out into the cold hard world. I was getting 66-70+ and the established drivers in my yard were finishing at 2pm because BS has no customers.

 

Yup..just 40. they always told us it was a decision set by corporate but once I went to school in San Angelo, I found out it was all bs. I went on my own soon after, and started making more money but now its so slow, I'm about to leave. Just waiting for my background to go through. I would give notice but have heard that if I give a 2 weeks notice, most likely they will release me immediately.

 

Since it's slow they probably will just let you go. I know places like Snyder, people were leaving left and right and they would beg them to stay. It was pretty embarrassing to see.

I found out a lot in San Angelo too. Going there really killed the job for me because I found out how effed up everything was at my yard.

 

Nabors does have a man camp in pecos. And I think they still have one in crane. From what I heard from a buddy working out of pecos they are busy that way. Just dont come to big spring I will let yall know if it ever picks up here my uncle works out of bs

 

Is your uncle James?

 

Yep. He's trying to start over

 

I like James. We were in training together. Tell him i say hello

Oilfield jobs are a joke been there done that all that money you make just goes down the hole with rent, food ,expenses ,gas ,and divorce but good luck I rather find me a local job be at home with the kids at the end of my shift
