    Craigslist, if you watch it for awhile you'll see a pattern of which company's hiring warm bodies and which ones are looking for good help. Don't take anything that doesn't have housing.

    A buddy of mine was offered a roustabout job on the Indian Reservation in mandaree North Dakota and they told him it included free housing. He put in his notice where I was working and then after he quit, he drove down to the office for the new company and they pointed to a wooden Shack next to a horse corral and told him that was the housing and there was a porta-potty across the parking lot and that was his restroom. The wooden Shack had a dirt floor and no source of heat or air conditioning. Needless to say he came begging for his job back the next day.

    I know who that company is. I'm not sure how they stay in business unless the local government is keeping them afloat

    Depends on the company honestly. Check out one of the fracking companies first
