Texas and ONLY Texas Oilfield Jobs!!

Any other questions ya have, feel free to ask. 8)

Here's a pic of a vacuum truck. Basically, they are used to load water etc from a storage tank, like you see in the pic, then we unload at a disposal facility. Hope this helps. 8)

 

Now that's the real deal right there. The one I showed you first was kind of a joke. It's pretty though, and it IS a vacuum truck. I don't think you'll see many of those in Texas. LOL

 

Thanks thirsty, I will be calling nabors on Monday to find out the real scoop about moving to Texas. I'm ready if they are willing. Got an offer from SCI but dont want that route, although they will pay me to move.

 

They don't stay pretty for long that's for sure.

If you land a call for an interview, make sure you mention that you are interested in company housing, as they have it available for 90 days. I also heard they are working on relocation assistance, but I'm too sure about it, so you may want to ask about it.

 

Wow, I work for nabors since Feb in Sonora. IF SCI is Schneider you might want to consider them. Nabor's pays 15.50 an hour lowest I have seen.Work your ### off for around 60 grand a year. Benefits are OK cheaper health ins than most. $39 every 2 weeks for single and 129,139 for family I think. The vacuum is easy, driving is most important getting used to floppy water behind you and lease roads. The hardest part is learning lease sites, easy to get lost first time you go to a site. You hear good and bad about Schneider but you should check them out for yourself. I see a benefit of working for Schneider as better training in tankers, and when the oil field slows again they have a tanker division and you may be able to stay on with them if you are looking for long term. Rumor is that Baker Hughes bought Nabor,s and takes over the end of May. So we don't know what may happen then. Good Luck

 

Key Energy starts newbies at $15/hour.

 

Only need a few more years then the grand kids kick in. Thats why the big cash for a short while sounded good. lol

 

Which companies did you apply with? I was a newbie with no previous experience. My previous work experience was all white collar stuff, and that worked against me with many companies. I applied with numerous companies and was shot down many times. Finally, after 3 weeks I got the call. It was frustrating at times, but it all came together in the end.

Don't give up. PM me if you want.

 

Is there 3 or 4 co.s that only hire expienced drivers. I worked on the worlds strongest horizontal drill rig 89 to 98, also drove off road,made the road,mechanic,operate hvy equipment,etc ya had to do everything. We logged oilfield exempt for our road trips,if our next job was 24 hrs away,we drove 24 hrs straight in a R model Mack or a Super Liner with a v-8 turned up neither truck had ac. I have over a million miles driving after the drill rig, hauled it all except cattle. The last 4 yrs I ended up driving for mega carriers, just to have a small check and health insurance. Just healing up from elbow surgery from driving there junk. Had 2 pay checks that where 0.00 as a otr van driver, staying out 90 days at a time,it,s been hell the last 4 years. I didn,t see any post of drivers doing the rigging up and down and transport, I think that would be a higher paying job. And perfect for me I was incharge of that when I worked on a rig. A driving job would be great to, if any co.s have Mack trucks that would be awesome.
