Schneider Oil Field Truck Driver Jobs/ The Texas shales and beyond

Maybe I'm in the wrong thread ...am I?

 

thanks
I'm temp.lost!! lol

 

Are all these trucks waiting to be unloaded. Looks like it's worst than a crowded truck stop. With no amenities.

 

looking at you picture of trucks unloading. I hope they pay you by the hour.

 

I haven't seen a Schneider oil field truck in a LONG time here in west texas. They had a few sand cans running around for a while last summer, but nothing since then. I am so glad I didn't stick with them for the full 6 months experience, and chance to transfer! lol

 

Hi, I will be getting my CDL with tanker and hazmat soon. I will not have any time in driving one just getting the license. Required where I work at. My question is, how to go about getting a job in the oil field and being home every night because I have a 14 year old son I am raising on my own. Probably not anything out there pays good with that kind of resume. lol Any help will be appreciated.

Has anyone heard of them hiring a new driver in the Oil Field Division? All of the openings I have seen say it requires experience except for the ones for a specific area. I don't mind moving it that is what it takes. If not, I am eyeing the tanker division. It seems they make good money, likely because most drivers don't want the dangers involved, but that is speculation on my part.

 

I too was curious about this so I asked a Schneider recruiter who came to my CDL school a few weeks back. He said they wouldn't hire a new CDL driver for the oil field division, however he suggested starting as a tanker driver and putting in for a transfer for the oil field division after a year. That's just my experience though.
