Heh, I got turned down for MBI for water hauling too, and then I applied again a month later and got accepted, but I ended up accepting a sand hauling job with a brand new truck and I could live in the truck so I wouldnt have to worry about housing. MBI is one of the biggest outfits and like all these oilfield companies they have a huge turnover. Their roster is probably full at the moment but I can guarantee they'll be going through that stack of applications in a week or two. I'd apply again in a couple weeks or a month if no one else picks you up.

A lot of bad information on this forum about MBI. They hired me as an oil driver at the Ross yard last year. I still work there. Starting pay was $23.50 for day shift, $26.50 for night. 1.5x overtime after 40 hours in a calendar week. Shift runs 12 hours with shift change at 5am/5pm. Most common schedule is 5 days on, 1 day off for reset. Oil field reset rules are 24 hours after 70 on duty, not 34 as with OTR. With this schedule a driver can easily get 72 hours per week which is six 12-hour days out of 7 with the reset after 5. Many days are 13 hours if the driver is swapped out, etc.
$23.50/hr for 72 hours per week is more than $107,000/yr for day shift starting pay. Do the math for night shift.
There is plenty of oil work. The guy who complained of 2 days work per week is full of it. However, due to the low crude barrel prices, less fracking is being done which is where the sand is used. All Ross depot sand drivers are sitting on their butts now getting paid the minimum of 48 hrs per week.
Water is very slow as well.
I hope this helps.
