Jobs in ND Oil Patch

[itsMeFred]

Fly by night has nothing to do with working in an oil patch elsewhere it has to do with business practices and the ability to sustain work in an area.

Precisely.
But the way cobra was coming across, PowerFuels, the old man of the ND field, was the only one that's not a "fly by night" so I just wanted to point out some other perspectives.

Some were also potato or farm implement haulers......

Another excellent point.
There are several companies in ND that are new to the oil field, but have well-established parent companies. There might be some growing pains as they adjust to the new industry, but ultimately if the parent company is fairly honest and ethical the daughter company probably will be too. And, generally speaking, any outfit that HAS a parent company probably isn't going to be "fly-by-night" for the simple fact that they have an established reputation to protect. But of course, only time will tell...

.

More like 800. And i got that from one of the bosses. He said 800 by the end of the year and yeah, they have contracts standing in line to hire them. He said they can't hardly keep up. But i had to quit my job and come up here to get them to hire me...

The amount of hires might have dropped by now. They have a quota of 20 hires a week they try to meet.

Are they taking on o/o? If so so you know what they are paying?

Apparently after they re-opened 85 a car got into an accident. Thats why they closed it again. The guys running the training at power fuels were talking about it this morning. Some were late coming in because they had to drive around it. Then they were talking about it again after the car accident, something about it being closed indefinately.

Hwy 85 accident should not have big impact. One lane for up to 6 weeks to repair.

He just means that there's no overnight parking.
That had been a REAL problem for Williston's WM.

Someone from walmart told me off the record it was because people that park over night would dump trash in the lot. Those folks that can't find a trash can ruined it for everyone.

You have to have your steel toed boots cuz the 4th day of classroom training you go out into the yard and do various things. Learn how to measure the wells, chain tires and some shop time with the mechanic. They issue you a pair of fr coveralls free of charge but its only one pair.
They also said in the paperwork that was given to me that we needed to come with certain tools (that i needed to buy) with a toolbag but it wasn't necessary... we didnt use them. I could have waited.

The best place to get steel toed boots and fr clothes is Home of Ecomony. I got a pair of muck boots there today and they have the best selection of boots and fr clothes in town. Walmart has steel toed boots and coveralls too but they are more cheaply made. You can get tools and your gloves at Home of Economy too.

I decided i needed a strap to go on my hardhat so the wind doesn't blow it off my head, the thing won't stay on cuz of my hair so i wanted a chin strap. Also i decided i needed an led clip light to clip onto my hardhat so i don't fall on my #$$ in the dark. Oiling Safety has those two things. I drove all around today looking for it just so i could get them. They don't have hardly anything in there, not much for clothes or boots but they had those two very important things (well least as far as im concerned). I went to the one in willistion... down from walmart down some dirt road.
