Trying to find out about Oilfield trucking!

I guess it depends where you're from. For me it was a little cheaper than I used to pay when I lived in MN. I'm sure your insurance guy could tell you if you called them.

 

Gosh Lightsout, thats a whopping good deal. I pay $900 for a 1 bedroom powerfuels apt in watford city. Do you think it would be possible to find a place to live that would let me have my dog? I would work out of just about any of their yards if i could have my dog. Their pet units are full here and i am on a list behind 20 other people.

I guess when you think about it you are also paying for the fuel to get yourself there so you probably have to add another $200/mo so that brings it to $850 but thats still a whopping good deal.

 

900 for single apt, hmmm

 

Tested the waters here, just a slight increase due to
mandatory higher level minimums,

 

Was up in Dickinson and this companies service was mostly
Stellar

 

Nice of Power Fuels to provide housing, sounds decent

 

Paying $950 for 1bd with garage in Minot. Landlord said rent might go up in August.

 

Not too bad a proposition pay wise,(96k) but that home time travel is much harder than even finding housing would seem,specially if your thousand miles away or more

 

That's true. We have a lot of drivers that live all over the country but they don't usually go home every chance they get. Most of them will work for 2 to 3 months, or even more, before they go home for a week. I live here so I don't have to deal with that, and I'm thankful for that. That's a long time to go without seeing your kids. But the guys here that do it are just thankful to be able to make the money they need. Some of them were out of work for a long time, and even though it can be tough, it's beats the heck out of feeding your kids with food stamps. We have a few guys from Detroit, for instance. If you know anything about Detroit, you know your prospects ain't too good for making a living there. They can work out here a few years and have a house paid for, a decent car to drive, and money put away. I guess it depends on the situation you're in whether or not it's worth it to you. Money ain't everything but it's #### hard to live without it these days.

 

Mine was the same.
