Does anyone know of any companies the are hiring owner operators with a vac tank?

[Big John]

Boy i pulled up some youtube vid's to see if i could get a feel for the town of marmarth and it sorta looks like your living in a bit of a ghost town. Is that really what it looks like?

Must been an old video.

Yea be prepared to dodge the crooks and thieves that don't pay owner operators. No offense guys but most highway truckers don't last. Knee deep mud, throwing chains, and -40 temps are common.

The mud is the worse part. We hope everyday that it stays cold, but when it thaws out, the mud gets knee deep. This means throwing chains or being pushed around by a dozer all day. Not fun.

"Outsidelookingin" [Keith] good post, I'm lining up interviews/meetings in four areas and will be heading up there at the end of the month after finishing up my lease agreement and turning my tractor in. I have one year exp and have all endorsements. Question: The bunkhouse is individual rooms? I'll call them tomorrow. Thx

Yes, the Bunkhouse is all individual rooms. There is one restroom downstairs shared by the men and one upstairs for the women (There have been only two women there during the 6 weeks I have lived there. One man had his wife with him and another man his girlfriend. There are currently no regular women tenants. There are occasional over-nighters coming through or spending a day or two hunting.) Nothing fancy, but a good clean, warm room and a hot shower for a very affordable rate.

I am getting a few PM's about this, so you will want to move quick. It will be a good opportunity for someone looking for good work in a quiet, slow paced small town, rural area.

Good Luck,
Keith

Hey outside, do you know if they hire females? I am not unexperienced, have three years otr, and what is the schedule? Also do you know any info about being able to accomodate someone who has a dog. I want to make a life up there. I am unencumbered and all my stuff is already in storage since i live in the truck. But i have her with me.

There are lady drivers at the H&P yard in Dickinson so I'm certain that isn't a problem. As for your 4 legged pal, you will need to ask Rox at the Little Missouri Smoke House. She manages the Bunkhouse.

The schedule is liked by everyone. Everyone gets every other weekend off. We also get two weekdays off every other week. I'll explain:
Today I have Thursday off, then I will work Friday - Monday, then Tuesday off, then work Wed - Fri, then weekend off, then work Mon - Wed, repeat cycle. Different drivers have different weekdays off, but everyone likes their schedule. As far as total hours worked, the company adheres to the law on the 70 hour limit. If looking at the full two week work cycle, adding up the hours and dividing by 2, I average btwn 65 and 70 hours a week.

If you are looking for a place to make a life, I couldn't recommend a better place than Bowman County. Marmarth is in Slope, but the little town of Bowman is 27 miles to the east. This is where I come for supplies, gas, an occasional hot meal and cool beverage, and other comforts of life.

Good Luck,
Keith

There have been only two women there during the 6 months I have lived there.

Maybe I misunderstood your original post, but didn't you say you just received your CDL and moved to ND in November?
