Halliburton cement

Depends totally on where you go. The only common factor amongst Halliburton's different locations is the low pay. Everything else varies wildly.

 

I've worked as a frac fueler on a few Halliburton jobs around Midland/Odessa and from talking to those guys the general consensus is that Halliburton is a great place to start, get some experience, and then bounce to another company. The only guys who seem to stick around long are those who get promoted fairly rapidly because otherwise the pay is a joke and the management very by-the-book and strict. Good benefits though.

Anyways, the other majors LOVE to hire ex-Halliburton employees because they know Halli has great safety training and gets their guys all the needed certs. If I were you I'd give it a shot, see how you like it with Halli and if you're not into it, put at least 90 days in and then look to get a job with one of the other majors (Baker-Hughes, Nabors, Schlumberger, etc etc etc). Hell, see if Halli will help you get your CDL-A and if so, you'll have your pick of all kinds of jobs in the basin.

Good luck and stay safe out there.

 

I'm on my phone but if you can go on my profile and look at my old post iv outlined all of Halliburton cement in odessa as it's my current job. But the above post is correct, I'm going to Schlumberger soon for a very nice increase. But I would of never got to Schlumberger if Halliburton didn't give me a chance and get me my cdl.

 

Anyone know how many hours the zanesville ohio workers at halliburton are getting in operator assistant 1 cement? I'm going through the hiring process now and was curious. Thsbks

 

I would stay where your at tbh. I'm on track to make about 70k of course this will go up over time and once I get on at a better company ill make 90k+ but the oil field is risky....can be rolling one day no work the next. Id stay at your current job and explore other options.

Of course I'm entry level if you got a supervisor position and moved through the ranks quickly you will make a good chunk of change...but that's a big chance.

 

I believe most of the big names are running day cabs and slip-seating. Your best bet for an assigned truck with a sleeper is probably with a smaller fleet. I just saw a couple of posts in the Trucker Jobs forum on this website advertising trucks with sleepers working the oil fields.

If you are set on becoming a truck driver, oilfield is the best way to match/beat your present income right out of the gate. If you are just trying to beat 65K a year and trucking was a thought on how to do it... I would rethink your plan. I'm pretty sure most people wash out of truck driving. Especially if it involves long periods away from home, or relocating.

If money is what you are after, and trucking secondary... check out frac fueling. Not necessarily a lot of driving, but tons of hours. It sounds like those guys are bring in 100-120k a year.
