No automatic restriction in oregon... guess this is a pretty easy place to get licensed. Instructor was telling me what a pain is in washington(120 hour class required for class A)... if I were headed to the oil fields from washington, I would consider "moving" to get your license.

So today about 830 am i got the call from the big boss to come in and do my paperwork. Its amazing how much paperwork is involved in getting a real job lol!Anyway i spent about a hour toiling away at that then i was sent to unifirst? to get fitted for fireproof clothing! Fun huh? Who knew this was a job where you might catch fire? So I start monday working 2am to 2pm with a few driving hours thrown in just to make it a really long day(at least i get paid for them right?). Everyone including the drillers are shutting down for the holiday weekend so mondays the day i start figuring out what the hell it is i signed on for.
After all that i went over to the apartment i picked out to see when i could move in,turns out i cant move in until tuesday. You have to get the power turned on before they let you move in which sucks cause now i have to pay for a hotel until monday this really is killing my budget!!Did you know they deregulated electricity in texas so now you have to choose between a thousand providers...pain in the ### if you ask me.I know some of you have told me i outta just live in a hotel but i have a good feeling about this job so im just gonna roll the dice (im from vegas remember?). I just took out a 6 month lease so if i decide to bail it wont be that bad.The eagle-ford shale is really kicking of though so i dont anticipate things being to bad.
So Thomas is still hiring so if youre looking for a job and your a worm(my new title lol) give them a call. Dont forget to say i referred you so i get some dough (jk)
Think ill go to the beach tomorrow im getting too pale..... -
Vegas what is your work schedule and what town are you in? thanks
-

Vegas, I grew up the coast in La Porte, Tx. ...the area you chose is a great place for a single guy in the Spring and Summer months, Corpus and South Padre Island will be kickin' when it gets warmer.
-
Hey Vegas, is Thomas requiring you to transfer your license to TX? Also you mentioned they were hiring in other parts of Tx, do you know what towns or cities?
-
Vegas, same question from me. Do I need to transfer license to TX? Need Hazmat before I come, or wait till I get there? Heading your way in Jan. Need to be where it's warm. Snow here now and I just bought a camper.
-
What is a Vac/Combo/Steamer truck and what is required of a driver in a camp enviroment?
-
Theres an rv park with a dozen 5th wheels and room for more about 300 yards from the yard where ill be working out of. If youve got a camper or a 5th wheel it would be easy to get home after your shift. I wish i had one!The way i hear it all you wanna do after your shift is sleep as soon as possible. Im getting an apartment about 30 minutes from work hope i dont regret it if i do its only a 6 month lease.
