    Just saw an ad in my local newspaper for Schneider tanker division hiring oilfield drivers. I live in Billings, MT which is the closest big town to the Bakken oil madness. It said make UP TO $61,000. That is EXTREMELY low. They are going to go in there and ruin the market, undercut everyone, and make that the new standard pay scale rather then the current one of $80K-$100K. I just wanted to say what a low balling joke they are for coming in and doing that.

    North Dakota. It's hard work in crumby working conditions though. Not unlike ice roading in AK.

    Hell I am in Ohio, and even listening to the ad sounds good to me.. I'd fly out there to do the job too. 61K is pretty good imo.

    Yep, and if the guy would just put minimal effort into researching such a move he would see he could do even better.

    Instead he will blindly jump in and drag everyone else down with him. --The drowning man effect.
