Still handing out work in Texas?

Thanks 69x. Any hints on where to concentrate my efforts? N*abors screened and no contact since. B*ker H ap in but nothing yet. I need a solid lead just to call recruiter and see. Was thinking about rigzone job fair but I am really just ready to get friggin started.

 

i live in Arizona. I searched on indeed.com crude oil texas. And posted resume. And applied to 10 companies. Mission petroleum was one that moved the fastest. I work out of jacksboro texas. Will be in weatherford mission pays2 weeks training $15 hr. Then get own Pete truck 220 barrel tanker (9500 gal) pay is 220-270 a shift 2-3 loads a shift. 6/2 12 hrs on. You can apply right on there site. www.mipe.com they need crude oil drivers all over texas.

 

Mission petroleum. Needs drivers bad in texas and where I am running out in jacksboro. And " uploader" says Stevens tank is looking for vac drivers.

 

I've been reading the oilfield forum for a long time. The one thing I have picked up on is, the people working in the oilfield are the people who GO to the oilfield.

So if you are there, stay persistent. You'll get hired. If you need a job offer before you can head out, it may be awhile before you get started.

 

Yep it took 3 weeks from apply to hire. For me with mission petroleum. Had to take vaca time to drive out to texas to take drug and physical. Just keep at it apply to multiple companies. Web site indeed.com good place to search crude oil driving texas.

 

Meh. I'm not paid by the barrel or load, but hourly. If I am stuck awaiting a winch truck to get me up a hill, I am still making that $24/hr. Year-round work.

And free medical. And free dental. And free life insurance. And 401(k) match.

If'n you ain't a #####, get on up here in the cold. Its where the money is.

 

I definitely would have had a job sooner if I had just gone to the field first. Trying from outside and keeping my income flowing delayed it. Not that it was the wrong choice.. just keep in mind whenbyoubstart getting frustrated

 

Where are you planning on working? Odessa? North dakota?
Big oil and gas job fair going on in odessa/midland on July 29

 

i did alaska oil field work done with ice roads frozen trucks roads. And waiting for steam crews to melt pumps. I sat one shift for 10 hrs. Not worth it to sit. Everyone has there choice. I did it up north now staying in the south.

 

Not too bad in North Dakota if you dress in layers and play it smart. Always funny when the first dusting of snow hits or the temps drop and people just leave in droves until the next year.
