    Frac you are on location till the job is done or your relief shows up.

    Also 3 inch iron and 4 inch hoses weigh significantly more than 2 inch. I could handle 2 inch non stop.

    Frac has a set schedule. For example our yard time is 2 am .we can clock in at 130am. Then we ride in a van to the local stripes and grab something to eat or drink. We get to site at 4am then work 12 hours. They feed you and have lots of water onsite. Then at 4 pm the vans come pick you up and you get to yard at 6pm. If they change the yard time they call you and let you know.


    Crane guy works a little less but still helps out on the ground until crane is needed

    No, u will live at a man camp or hotel during ur hitch. They either shuttle u to location or one dude in the crew will drive to location. Everything is pretty much scheduled for frac vs cement ur on call

    i can tell you the hourly rate is a lot less than im used to but the bumps and perks make the money good at the end of the week.

    New member here, went to a job fair for Halliburton a week or so ago and got rejected due to not having my CDL. Do you all have any recommendations for trucking schools in the SA\South TX area?

    Sorry man, but they don't reject people for not having a CDL. Hell they have their own CDL school and training programs.

    If you were rejected, it was very likely for something else.

    My recommendation is not going to trucking school and getting the CDL on your own. This is a strangely unpopular and somewhat looked down upon opinion on this board.
