    AL, looking to move to Oilfield
    0
    I just finished driving school about a week ago and have my CDL with all endorsements and looking to get into the oilfields. I have been looking since Nov but finally gave into needing a CDL after a couple of job fairs.

    Does anyone know of any places hiring in Colorado? I have been looking at ND and TX but with the housing situation in ND, I really don't think its realistic. I know the housing is getting tight in TX as well.

    Any info about companies, job fairs, payscales etc would be greatly appreciated!:biggrin_25520:

    Housing isn't getting tight in TX, not that I know of.

    There are lot of oilfield companies hiring for drivers but usually most of them require to have at least 2 year old driver's license. But don't make that dissapoint you. I am just telling you how it is. A lot of times you actually have to go the companies offices.

    Research on the companies you might be interwested in working for.

    1.Call them
    2. E-mail them
    3. Go to there office

    I would suggest asking an already working driver in the oil fields if you are able to shadow and see if that may help you getting hired with a company that required mininum 2 years.

    Especially in the oil field, a lot of companies are skeptical about putting a newbie out of school behind the wheel on some real expensive equipment. And trucking in the oil fields is just a whole lot different then general trucking (dry van, flatbed, etc.)

    Just to let you know how it is. Hope you find a job soon!

    Housing is pretty tight in Odessa/Midland. You can find a place, but you'll probably wait 1-2 months before you can move in. We found an apartment in Midland but had to live in Motel 6 for four weeks before we could move in.

    I don't know about other areas.
