Great jobs in Texas

yeah, thanks. clone seems to have hit on something I am seeing a lot in the oilfield.

He applied one day and started work the next. Not much time to check references, thou I guess possible. But just as plausible is he was sized up during an impromptu interview and an agreement sealed with a handshake...

I am just curious what his experience was.

 

When the oilfield is booming they'll check the basics. MVR and criminal background. I'm sure you'll ride and drive with somebody for a day or two before they cut you loose on your own. If a man can't get a job in the oilfield right now he doesn't want to work.

 

I'm not going as far as looking up the hottest temps in Texas history. All I know is 6 indentical trucks were sitting in the Texas heat and the outside thermometers read anywhere from 124 to 127 degrees. It was hot. Period.

 

i have never been in that high of temperatures. were those drivers still cool inside the cab? or there is no escape?

 

We had to run the hell out of our air conditioners but we were comfortable. The black roof on our trucks IMO made them harder to keep cool.

 

Ya they asked what kind of school it was. I offered to show them my certificate and give the the phone number of the school, but they declined. They just wanted toknow what kind of school it was and what we did.

I feel like it is super easy to get these jobs if you have a clean back ground since there are so many signs around town., but it is still driving so they probably want some better training than the one day courses.

for anyone wondering the northern barnett shale is pretty much bust right now. only a few rigs drillin. not a lot of water to haul either. dont get me wrong, im still workin, but been gettin off early lately

 

Where is the northen barnett shale at?

 

Could that be due to year end slowdown/rigs moved elsewhere?

That's Ft. Worth,TX area and surrounding.
