So you want to haul crude oil in the badlands of ND?

well im interested in just hauling oil....so as far as i know the job is.....1) drive to fill up set, get out, attach hoses, fill tank. 2) drive to delivery site, empty. 3) repeat repeat repeat......am i right? anything else u gotta do?

 

If this transport tank exp is verifiable, I'd bet all the tea in ND(not much) an employer will want your services asap(today!). Rattle off 1/2 dozen desperados just in one western town begging for recent Exp Tanker Drivers. With your background and rig orientation, sky should be the limit. Might be the more senior exp job seeker on this board V8-Mack.
Job hopping has happened to more than a few out in the Bakken, blame the locals for starting that trend. Believe me, heard from more than one North Dakotan just how many jobs they worked through before finding a good fit. It seems to come with the territory.

 

Remember to also blame "THE lOCALS" for your high wages and great job. Yep, we set the bar very high, always have, always will.

 

Uh huh, now you got me thinking more about like the 1950's dilapidated infrastructure if that new, roads that won't even hold one cow, is there 10 trees avg per county here?, (okay so maybe 11!)A giant fake lake with weird looking shorelines. Over bearing religious community that'll generously allow cigars,beer and maybe gin, but no condoms dispensed at the drug store. Ahem, pardon on the dilapidated houses and so on, houses being so few and far between and all(literally)...Hear the renters have quickly picked up on how to mud up the cracks so to speak, especially in Dickinson where there so much of that mud right out in the front yard, all handy and so forth

 

Now don't be nasty. If you'all don't like where you are go somewhere else try Saudi Arabia, no booze at all, drugs are death penalty stuff, and no movie theaters in the whole country. Monitored internet (; can't look at powerstroke army, because army triggers a block. Yes they know which room did the search. Don't even think about downloading anything remotely pornographic unless you want be permanently be kicked out of the country.
P.s. its the patch it's north Dakota you thought it was some sort of country club?

 

It's amazing how people complain on here about the roads and there isn't anything to do why dont they fix stuff....blah bah blah... You can always stay where u are with no chance of a good paying job... Or any job fir that matter... but atleast your roads will be nice and sturdy and u will have lots to do with no money to spend doing them....

It does suck out here... There isn't anything to do unless u stick a bottle in your mouth .0001 sec after u get out of work till u head back there the next day.... And trust me there are a lot that do.... If you want to make the money you will learn to deal with it... Nothing I mean Nothing comes easy or for free in Williston nd or the Bakken in general. A lot come here daily few stay past 90 days...very few.


I'll def agree with nitrogen on go overseas to haji land and see how u like it... Except he forgot to mention your risk of being kidnapped cause ur an American... Among other things.

 

Saudi is OK fer kidnapping some the other places you might end up as the headless truckdriver if they catch you. After a bit o torture. For me I made the decision years ago. Home is wherever I hang my hat. I can hang it anywheres they pay my bills.

 

is good to hear people who go there cant hang more than 90 days that means i have more chance of landing a job

 

Want to hear funny? Last winter,a Dickinson area man has his house burn down around him, then subsequently sets up an outside camp. 2 days later, after the locals apparently waited to see whether he has actually survived send over a Fema style little trailer but forget to fill the propane bottle.Same man nearly dies twice, once from too much heat, the next lack of. Hopefully they'll have drilled a bona fide glory hole on his property by now,that gas burnoff might certainly make the difference here.

 

would it be better if i get my hazmat in los angeles first then come up or should i get it when i am up in north dakota? if i already have my hazmat do i have to get a new hazmat all over again?
