Oil fields in ND, WYO, or Mt.

cool thanks for the into will look into that also

 

iv worked in mt and nd oil fields, your probably more likley to be home every night in mt oil fields but your be in the middle of nowhere 90% of the time. your probably want to avoid the wilistion area. its a frigging zoo there. look around Stanley nd or Dickinson nd.

 

iv been kinda interested in these area's id probably be happier staying where im at but would like doing it for a year or so just to do it. what is the demand for drivers like up there? housing situations ect?

 

Well majority of it is union, but still allot of other companies to look into.
They house you in very nice clean rooms for the most part. As a female driver Ive never personally seen a bad one, have heard of some. And NO they dont house females seperate. Room mates are same sex though. The whole company for that job houses in same thing. Most are conex's, prefabbed into rooms. Showers are awesome!
Food is fenominal!!!! Delicious food at most ALL camps! They dang better feed you good!
Prime Rib every friday, some throw in Alaskan crab on certain dayz.
Yea, I love it up there! But so sickn tired of the cold. I did it 7 winters.
Theres always a demand, but most is short time, hitches of 2-3 months. If they like you, you might get on for summer work. Theres a break in work spring & fall usually for some.
Time for the roads to dry up, or build ice ones.
But allot of companies up there are tryn to work in ND. They sometimes go by a sister Co. name though so its hard to pin point the connection.
Just start googling and get er done! Go for it

 

iv lived in nd for about 8 years know how to deal with the cold. the biggest thing that would hold me up from trying it is working in nd/mt oil fields im never too far from my home in Bismarck nd. what kind of yearly income is average for a driver in Alaska oilfields?

 

Peak recently bought 2 brand new 400 inch bed trucks from Camex. I recall loading them on a couple of Lynden step decks.

 

Well it could range from the 2-3 month hitch, making $8k-10k month or in upwards of $60k-over $100k month. Depends on how driven, experienced, the length of the job to complete the project and the company.
Theres 2 contruction outfits up there also that take drivers for longer times after the initial seasonal jobs are over...Alaska Interstate Construction or AIC LLC.
and the other is called Nanook, not sure the full legal name.
If you move equipement and know lowboy work thats a HUGE plus!
Hell if I can leave for 3 moth hitches, you can. Regardless of Florida or Fairbanks AK, we both have to fly back home. LOL

 

Personally, when I relocate to lower 48, Im still going to try and go up to AK for oil field work if its slow where I move. Mainly due to the safety structure up there and the great housing and people. Its like family up there and always looking out for one another regardless of trades. Mainly because if someone gets hurt, it could cost everyone! Same goes for spills and breakdowns.

 

nd/mt its more like being in the wild west a lack of structure/housing infrastructure is far behind the growth. lots of rookies that don't know there head from there ###. id realy like to give Alaska a shot but i don't think I'm quite ready to make that leap yet. as the market here becomes more and more cut thought ill probably think more and more about it. id love to get into doing rig moves and that kind of stuff as well. might be another avenue i can explore here as well. my primary motivation is money, this is the closest thing to a modern day gold rush we have going on and that's why im doing it, i do get enjoyment out of the work/challenges but my primary motivation is the almighty dollar. i want to put myself in a position for a early retirement and financial security. it will be a year next month that ill have been hauling water in the oilfields and already paid off my house my pickup put some money away in the bank and if it all ended tomorrow i would have at least a year i could live comfortably before having to find employment. although im still quite a bit shy of my ultimate goal. Iv done pretty good for myself approaching the one year mark. however i don't like a lot of the trends that i see, company's underbidding work there for driving wages down. supply of trucks at the moment is higher than the work available. now things are suppose to be picking up shortly but i know its only a matter of time before these cheap company ruin it for everyone both threw accidents and ill responsible behavior causing increased enforcement as well as driving down wages. this is why i would like to get into something a bit more specialized than water hauling like posibly rig moves or possibly fuel hauling (drilling rigs consume 3000 gallons of fuel per day) fracking uses a ton of fuel as well, i heard a statistic saying the the nd oil fields consume some millions of gallons of diesel fuel per day (sorry don't remember the exact number), i plan to add hazmat to my licensee soon just to help open up my possibility. I do really like the company I'm working for and hate to leave for right now
I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing but exploring other options as well.

 

is that true ???? 60 to 100 per month???
