Jobs in ND Oil Patch

If you are washing trucks there is no work. Watford is headquarters and were all the work is. I worked at Power Fuels for two year and there hasnt been steady work there for months. I quit about a month ago. And Dickensen is not were the work is Watford is. Dickinson has to come to Watford and swapout just to get work just like some of the other yards do like Beach. I am talking frac fills.

I think there is work on the production side but if you are looking to haul fresh water forger it. Mbi has taken over a good portion of the work. Some guys are on injection wells so their income has not been affected. If i were you i would either switch companies or go to watford and ask to haul salt water (like ironmule). Or train on the super sucker. They make really good money if the work is there.

Dickinson just lost a big contract. That seems to be the name of the game with this company anymore. Dickinsen barely had enough work as it was.

 

Yeah we do a ton of fresh water work, especially down in that area.

 

MBI contractors do a ton of fresh water in that area. MBI company drivers just are in the way when they are on fracs.

 

It depends on the driver/truck combo. Most of our f/w trucks are only 130-150bbls while there are contractors that haul 180 bbl loads legally.

 

Badlands Trucking recently moved to Port Matilda PA and drastically cut the rates in Pennsylvania. They are also dishonest about the rates to avoid having to pay the drivers an actual percentage.

D&T Trucking (Minot) merged with a company in Texas and are now called 1845 oilfield services.
they have a bad safety rating.

Fox Run Transport (Berthold) was recently working in Pennsylvania but I think they gave up and went back to ND

 

Working in North Dakota is not bad but with you having no experience you may have a hard time but also be careful there's a lot of companies that don't pay especially o/o's so do your research and rent is not cheap at all and if you plan on staying anywhere around Williston Walmart sucks they can't keep the shelves stocked and winter time really sucks make sure you have your vehicle fluids all done for cold weather I have fraced and also worked for Selland Construction up there for 2 years last winter got -60 degrees outside.

 

Any Word on BOH bar over hat, are they still trucking around williston?

 

Nope. They still have some SWD's but their trucks are done. Might be one or two left but they lost all their Continental work.

 

Went by there yard a few days ago, looked like a lot of trucks and trailers parked.

1845 is not a bad company. And i see nothing wrong with their safety at all.
