Great jobs in Texas

Soon to a be a California refugee,here.
Hope to move to TX very soon. As soon as I hear back from one of the many companies that I had recently applied with, I'm load'n up and heading to the Texas T.

 

Still happening in Texas. I haul crude 5-6 days a week. Best move I ever made.

 

wondering when the illegals will start showing up in the oil fields and working for 7-8 an hour?

 

sounds to me like it wont be long an all the fat cats will be getting
it done for minimum wage.

 

As you probably know, Schneider's new tankers are already in the oilfields and they're paying out burger money to the newbees. I think there is another OTR company doing the same thing as well.

 

Guys, these mega companies are not gonna be succesful in the oilfield. The level of service that is demanded will be impossible for them to meet.

I'm sure there are some illegals in the oilfield but they are never gonna drive the wages down very much. Almost every position in the oilfield requires some degree of learning ability. Everything is taught on the job and paperwork is a large part of almost everything. If you have a third grade education and can't read, write, or speak English your never run much more than a powerwasher.

 

So very true! :smt023

 

We're too busy working to post every day. I'm running 12 hour shifts 5+2 5+3. Trying to check in every couple of days. Oilfield trucker, I had a friend who ran water haulers for Texas Frac Fluids out of Center TX just east of Tyler. He said they were paying around $15/hr, lots of hours.

 

Same here, moved down to southwest LA from Chicago because this is where the work is and I love the 2nd amendment. I work 60/week and make more money than I did as a Teamster running a concrete mixer and cement pneumatic tanker in Chicago in an area with a cost of living about 25% lower.

 

42 on the Second amendment, and good luck to you out there in the swamp. Keep your feet and your powder dry.
