Jobs in ND Oil Patch

That's not a toy my friend lol... Its a Custom Design Halliburton 660 each pot is a max of 330sft^3 working 36 psi max though it will stop taking pressure at 30psi... They contain cement or spacer to load into bins, or too the Pump trucks or MX Trucks during the cement process....

They are 10 speed for the cab and Kenworth trucks... Newer models have AM FM radio with the AVI connection for your smart phones to run music through .....

Do I work for Halliburton? HEHE

PS They max speed at 65mph which is controled by a little black box which will beep at you if you don't have your seat belt on; or if you go down a hill and gravity pushes you past the 65 mph limit that its set for lol... Also you have to give it your employee id number also or it will beep at you also...

 

so has it picked back up there yet???

 

There ya go, fixed it for ya.

 

100's of trucks are still sitting. This time last year you didn't see any trucks parked.

 

Last year at this time if you had a tanker that would hold water someone would hire you because the oil companies were in a world of hurt with full pits,because of the snow melt and spring rains.That started the big hiring push and huge amount of trucks flocking to North Dakota.Fast forward to this year,mild winter, drier spring, no more dumping water in pits at drilling rigs.So now there is more trucks than needed,rate cutting, and no need to hire drivers without experience as there are probably plenty of experienced hands looking for work.
I reckon AC22 can correct me if I am wrong or if he can add anymore to it.

 

geez what is going on? It slowed down up there?!?!

 

Maybe not so much of a slow down(around 210 drilling rigs)as an over abundance of trucks.

 

just wondering generally, how many more water/vac trucks as compared to crude haulers? thanks .. (twice as many?)

 

I was in Williston yesterday. As i passed by the Walmart I took a look at the parking lot at the truckstop that sits next to it. I saw 2 brand new Freightliner trucks and tankers for hauling water, still shiny, with the driver standing outside talking to someone, looking excited as hell. They were both Swift trucks.
The world just isn't right unless they come in and ruin things.


I was talking to the guy who gave us the osha class yesterday. He said Power Fuels is still hiring even tho it has slowed down. (There have been a few days that we had to sit on standby) and he told me its always slow between March and beg of June. That the oil companies take this time to regroup and figure out their next plan of attack. He has lived in Watford since the early 80's.

 

Thanks 29times I guess that would make sence to slow down to regroup and hows that osha class anyway
