    AmPm was awesome had to show two of their guys how to unload their vac trailers on a live frac. Just to get them the hell out of the way. I think they ran belly dumps then tried to get into water. Set a bunch of dudes loose in crap equipment with no idea what was going on

    Yeah all those live fracs are run through Belfield as you know, leads to some disorganization because poor guys just get hammered with jobs, phone calls, etc. We stay busy here as well but we aren't running 70 contractors ontop of our company guys.

    warhack, thanks for the info. Been tied up last few days with school so didn't see response until today. What is the name of the company out by me? Thought I would check with them to see what they have to offer, although beggars can't be choosy. Finished CDL school this past weekend. Top of class. Just waiting to take DMV test.
    Found out last Friday the company I work for now will probably close in September so time to get the my apps/resumes in.

    warhack and others, I am new to posting on any kind of forum and did not realize my asking for company info may be violating forum guidelines. My apology's and I totally understand. On another note I have my CDL test next Tuesday so hope to be send out apps after that.

    Joe see"s all from his Vantage point (Hide), then goes to his Plotter Board to check for any better Concealment Cover then check"s for good Extraction Route, once satisfied with Observation Point he then goes into his Drag Bag and sets up his Spotting Scope to do full Reconnaissance for Targets of Opportunity. When Target is acquired he than checks for Trajectory Path, Windage, Elevation, Barometric Pressure, Spin Drift, Than Poof, He"s Gone........:smt067:angel4:

    Well, got my CDL yesterday.:biggrin_255: Passed everything with flying colors. Now the fun starts. Applying of a job after 24 years. I have been the one accepting the apps now the shoes on the other foot. Looking to be in the Bakken by early/mid September. Just waiting for current boss to say company is going to shut down. Should know next week.

    FYI, my cousin who has been hauling crude for quite a few years in the Bakken is trying to talk me into trying Gillette, WY. He says some of the guys he works with transferred there from Williston and are making $10k clear per month and only $600 for housing. I would try there but want to be in ND to be closer to dad who is by himself now.

    Thanks again everyone for the info and I'll keep updating as time goes on.

    warhack, you mentioned company out by me that you work for. Could you PM info? I have enough post now to do PM. Thanks.
