Need work? South Texas Oilfield hiring like crazy!

I live in Oregon and have CDL Class A, w/tanker, hazmat and douple/triple endorsements. I also have my TWIC card.

I was just talking to a recruiter from Schneider tanker/oil field division. I'm looking at moving to Texas in 8 weeks. The recruiter told me about 2 weeks before I move (6 weeks) to call her so she can set up an interview and orientation appointments. She said once I actually move to Texas and start working for them I would have to switch my CDL over to Texas.

 

Are there any class B jobs out there?

 

Yes, try wireline, tubing testers, hot oilers, well treaters.

 

What's it like for women down there ? Are there abt specific companies that will hire recent grads ? I'm willing to relocate and work long hours I just don't want to go otr for weeks at a time any suggestions

 

It is hot for women and men If you work there are always jobs in Texas. It is always lazy people complaining there is no work. I am sitting here in a Jack in the Box and just got another company to contact.

 

How much experience do you have? What cities in Tx should I look in for the oilfield work ? (I'm not from Tx so I don't know what cities r in south Tx I've been to san Antonio and loved it)..... I read the vacum and production was a good way to get ur foot in the door do a lot of women do that (I keep asking about women Becuz here in va I have had a lot a problems getting driving jobs and they have given the jobs to less qualified men..... I have a class a cdl a +5 on my mvr and no dui also no tickets since 2004

 

Schneider will train you for tanker oil field work. Give 'em a call!
Texas is a great state to live in and no personal income taxes!

 

Make sure to get what the recruiters promise you in writing. There is talk about cutting the pay scale from daily rate to mileage. Rentals here are very high about a grand for a 1 bedoom....do your homework before you take the plunge. Goodluck to you wherever you end up

 

what companies are looking for owner operators and how much are they paying to the truck??

 

I'm new to the site but I work as a vacumm truck driver, I don't have hazmat so I can't carry oil based mud which is ok with me, money is good it is common to see 3800-4000 dollar net checks every two weeks, yes that's owner operator money for otr and I'm just a company driver, we don't do log books and sometimes we are at flow back jobs or rig work for hours on end, it sucks I don't have a set schedule but I did bring my wife over here so it's not too bad... Good luck to anyone wanting this life money ain't everything
