Couple of oilfield questions

you might check out the marcellus shale in north central PA, eastren OH, areas. That way you wont be too far from civilization.

 

You do not have a years worth of countable experience. The companies are looking for tractor trailer class A experience. You may want to try SlumberJ they train.

 

Based on what i have heard and seen, if you have a pulse and at least a class b,with tanker, chances are you could get a job out here. some companies are actually helping people get their cdl. there seems to be a big demand for water truck drivers, hauling water to frac sites, usually a twelve hour shift. right now, 9/2012, things are a bit slow, but after the election, its expected to pick up again. I work hauling frac sand as a fill in driver, usually over winter and spring. the rest of my time i run local doing other things. So my info may be off a little, as im not up there that often, but i hear from our drivers who are up there all the time. hope that makes sense.

 

I think you mean Schlumberger don't you?

You should have no problem finding work in Midland/Odessa area with your experience.Your other half should not have a problem either as it is a large area with 150k population.Just be aware housing is difficult to find sometimes.

 

Get your CDL. The vac trucks I operate have 18 wheels. Then you can work anywhere.
