oilfield rookie wannabe!

Yeah ive seen the same adds for dillon maybe ill check them out tomorrow I saw some paperwork for goldspur that said utah and noth dakota so it must be

 

So i was gonna take it easy today cause ive been really running hard but then i remembered i was a workaholic and those plans went out the window lol.I left my hotel The La Quinta Inn and Suites New Braunfels by the way that hotel was awesome and only $75 !

I decided to go back to Kenady,tx cause i saw so much activity there and signs for drivers. On the way there i got a call from a lady from the hr dept of Thomas Petroleum we talked for awhile and she decided she liked the answers to her questions about me,plus im kinda personable on the phone(and in person).She wanted me to meet the head of there fracing crew in Corpus so she set it up for 4pm. On my way there from San Antonio I passed at least 3 companies along the interstate 37 that were hiring drivers.

I met Roy the head of operations and we talked about the job.Basically ill join the frac refueling crew theres a 10000 gallion tank on site and 2 bobtails and a 4 man crew(2 drivers and 2 helpers) refuel the frac machinery for 12 hours. Plus the sites are between 1-2 hours from Corpus so it works out to about 16 hrs a day with travel time.At least you get paid for all that time we will average about 70-80 hrs a week at $17 hr for drivers dunno about the helpers though.It sounds like wont have time for much but work and sleep during work days but ill get between $1500-$1700 a week big money right?


I will be following a driver around for the first 2 weeks to learn my duties and paperwork.Tomorrow i gotta do paperwork like background and whiz quizz the hr lady(kim) will be calling to set it up and roy said if thats all cool ill start on thursday.

Im bored of living in hotels and want to look for an apartment and after i do my hr stuff tomorrow ill start to check out places.Ive been talking to lots of locals about where to live(avoiding ghettos etc!) and i think ive got a good idea where to look.

The company is lookig to hire many more people so if your in the area looking you might want to check them out plus they are looking for drivers in a few other texas locations.Ill keep you guys updated as to how everthing gos with this but i gotta tell you im kinda excited!!!!
