That's what me and dad earn as o/o.

Ah, that makes sense. Since the OP was talking about company driving positions I figured you were too.
-
Use pto dry bulk blower. installed webasto, saved more fuel than what I used on idle time. I faced a 10 mile dirt mountain that got turned into an ice road. Used tire chains to go up the mountain. When cold temps like -11 degrees f, they would shutdown the well.

Might be BS then, hu? Search my name and fresh water.
-
Not wasting my time searching BS. ghost loads and the like are gone. you make it sound like 4000.00 a week is the norm and its not.

Currently the oil field money is in Colorado. Sand hauling companies: RMT, JUSTICE, G & Z, LINKS, JUSTICE, and more being born every day. Water: A&W and Northern Plains. Crude: it's there but not for me. Fracking and drilling: Halliburton, Baker hughes, Cal Frac, Schlumberger, Noble, PDC,BBC, and many more. Then theres also the packaged food transport, aside from the oilfields.
BrianMst and RocketmAAn Thank this. -
My dad pays $120 rent using their trailer for the trip.
-
That's $35 an hour at 112 hours per week, 112 per 7 day period is 16 hour days. Nothing BS about this. I work in the Canadian patch and $35 per hour is about normal for experienced drivers/operators. 16 hour days are normal as well.

ok, if they'll sponsor my visa and grant me a parking spot for my RV and car..... I'm in.... WHERE DO I APPLY? once hired, I'll give you my 8th and 16th paychecks, my 6th and 12th month paychecks, and $2500 on my 3rd year. After that, I should be able to retire at those wages, $196,000 for 52 weeks or $133,280 for 2 weeks on one off schedule. (all I need is a small fully furnished mountain cottage with at least 1/2 acre and a small greenhouse, an RV, a brand new 4x4, a used 4x4 truck, and an economy 4banger and enough in the bank to buy a new car) then again why does Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Anadarko, and Schlumberger start new hires at $13 per hour, they average $70,000 a year if you're willing to get all, all mean all the certifications they offer, meaning your 7 days off after two weeks just turned into 2 maybe 3 days off for the next 5 years at which point, yes you'll be making $125k and possibly burned out.Last edited: May 12, 2014
