Great jobs in Texas

Hello. Do they sleep in those pretty trucks or do their drivers have to pay rent for their housing?
Thanks

 

No. The ones around here have 36"-42" little sleeper. Not for living in like a condo at all. Sure just for sleeping while waiting on job or at loading yard. Some of these frac drivers tell me they wait up to 20 hrs regularly to load and unload.

 

Duker- you have any idea on how to contact trican? Looked at their website but it only posts jobs in canada

Guess it helps if I saw the Trican USA on the very top of the page I wouldn't have had to ask that question. Thanks Pathfinder

 

I still see lots of openings in the Corpus Christi, Victoria, San Antonio market for those who have a CDL with tanker and hazmat. Go a step further and get your TWIC card if you want to stand out over the crowd. If you have 6 months under your belt you should get a job the first week you are in the area.

One major trucking company has added jobs in 4 parts of the state of Texas. Are you willing to work for a major oil services company like Nabors? Then why would you be opposed to working for a major trucking company working in the oil patch?

Good luck people, the jobs are out there!

 

Ten on that, Rockdoc.

 

If that major trucking company is orange that's reason enough not to. These big companies will come in ans drive down rates for everyone else. Instead of being able to pay drivers $17-20 an hour with big orange they'll only be able to pa $10-12 an hour. Another problem with those big companies is they most likely won't have implemented the training their drivers are going to need to properly do their job. A lot of companies are very strict on how things are done on locations and one person can get a whole company kicked off for something as simple as spilling water. I hope and wish everyone luck and success to those who choose the big companies just something to think about. Sometimes the smaller mom and pop companies are better than the bigger ones

 

I talked to Schneider. Thy are offering far less potential for income in their jobs than the companies that have been there doing oilfield work. As usual, it looks like they start out with the assumption that they need to devalue the drivers to make a profit, even though they wanst to hire experienced tanker yankers to make up for their own lack of expertise. And what's the pay range for the opportunity to help them into the oilfield transport market they don't know? Why, $45K - $61K a year, "good buddy". Do I get a reach-around with that? Reason enough.

 

Ive said it again and again these major otr companies will not stand a chance in the oilfield. They cannot provide the sometimes extreme customerservice that is required.
