North Dakota VS Texas concerning oil field Employment ?

To me, it seems/sounds like more and more drivers are heading down to Texas. My husband is a crude hauler in ND. I don't know what's going on but we're getting tired of the instability. My husband is finally working again...after sitting for weeks....but for how long will he be working? Every day I text him, "you working?" It's crazy eights. And with winter just around the corner, eh, there's a whole other set of problems to slow ya down. I don't know....I certainly would NOT head to ND now.....we're actually considering getting out of ND and making a move to Texas. Going to give it a few more weeks, see how things go and are hoping it gets busier!

 

Texas is less money per hour, but more hours right now will mean more money overall. If ND picks back up the money up here is vastly better. Winter does not mean a for sure slow down, hell last winter we were boomin in fresh water jobs ie allot of well fracking going on. Tough choice right now for sure

 

It is slow up here in Williston for a lot of O/O and small leasers.... My company is drowning in work and not enough drivers to drive all our equipment.... We're getting all the work from the Owner Ops and leader companies...Saftey is the One and Only way to get work up here... The safer the Company is the more they get oilfield work
