Texas and ONLY Texas Oilfield Jobs!!

Schneider,FFE and a few others are having hard times getting work.When you are competing with companies who have been servicing the same oil companies for 10,20,30+ years it is gonna be tough some times.

 

bubzokrex, I believe some of these accounts have received a lot of new hires in a short period of time. There are only so many drivers qualified to train the new hires so I suspect once they work through this cycle, Schneider will open the doors up again to new hires. I covered some of this in a new post today in the following thread...

Crude Haulers- West Texas

I passed through Big Lake, Rankin, Crane, Odessa, Midland, and Garden City on Wednesday July 11.

I noticed some yards had a fair number of transports parked.

Is there a slight to moderate lull going on with oil producers here recently?

hey nicholas_jordan
some say there is a lull in the action, which is it boom or slow?

 

seems, as of yesterday, to have only been a few-days bubble in the creek - Reuters reported back over 100 barrel already so there was likely just some ....

we dont know but the lull is not deep

 

My guess is we're going to see a slight decrease in the cost of Oil and a slow down in production between now and the up coming Presidential election. Then we should see things pick up again after the election.

 

I have a question as to who would be willing to accept someone who has 1 year OTR ,but i do not have tanker exp and do not have twic as of yet, i can get my haz-mat, but i am really trying to find a company that will take a relatively new guy with no exp. Any suggestions would be great. I do not get alot of time to search while i am on the road.

 

"who would be willing to accept someone who has 1 year OTR"
Schneider, but there may be a slow in hiring for a few. Ask the Rockdoctor, he's on top of things out there.
