Another Texas Oilfield question

Which part of your question wasn't answered in the dozens of other threads?

 

Just drove down there Thurs. and back on Fri. There are plenty of signs out all over midland. Some water and crude haulers use the 100 mile radius rule and some don't. If you want to work max hours I would look at fracing.

 

I have been applying online. Got interview setup for Wed, and possible one on Friday. I have put in easy 50 application/resumes online, 3 calls so far, I rejection email. Next week I will start calling back places I put applications online with. Most of the Frac places will hire without experience if you have your CDL already from my past exposure to them. But also make not most Frac Companies its more like 10% Driver, 90% Labor and Equipment Operation.

 

Isn't it better to go talk to these frac companies in person and submit resumes that way?

 

I'm sure showing up is great, but companies likely spread over 250 miles. Just make sure you know what your getting into. Its not a driving job at most frac companies. Its an outside operator/labor position that requires you to drive. Its not hard, but can be very physical and intense at times. Other days you may spend 13 hours trying to stay awake and "watch paint dry". But if like you said in original post, its definitely part of the patch you can work more than the 70 hours most places.

 

I agree. Hardly any driving. Mostly labor. I just started frac tech.so far so good. Free housing and meals. They are hiring like crazy. Come apply at the Odessa office, and you may just get hired

 

Don't mind hard work but is money that great so far , i have offer to start next week $13 seems low starting pay

 

Fracking companies don't hire "just drivers". You drive the equipment to location and get to work. If you're hoping for max hours and a rotating schedule, this is your best shot. Most of the majors hire newbies, and some even train you to get your CDL.
