    Hydraulic Fracturing, Google it.

    There is the service of the frac site, and the actual frac crew.

    Your on call 24/7 while on rotation, out in remote locations, far away from civilization.

    Still interested?

    Read the Oilfield Jobs thread, lots of info in there.

    You go to location, rig in, operate your truck, rig out, go home.

    Your asking questions that nobody can answer depends on the job on how long it takes. Depends on the weather on how muddy it is. I work for Trican so don't know who pays the best each base is a little different. Also depends on how many jobs you get per month and what area you are in.

    Aye small pumps makes for small bonuses, but thanks for the job specific info, that is what i really wanted to know. From what i have read trican is one of the better companies to work for.

    We are doing a big job all with single pumpers and getting max bonus so you can't say that about the little trucks. Depending what base you want depends what trucks are there.
