Is it possible for a rookie to enter the oilfield at the moment?

    Some parts of oil field are still hiring, mainly just water hauling though. Not many people are fracing right now, rare to see a drilling rig moving. Hauling brine water is still going strong. The wells constantly produce, and burp up the brine the crude oil. Pay isn't great per hour, but the local haulers work with recent graduates(at least in North Texas). You just pull water from a tank, drive to a disposal well, unload into another tank, repeat for 12 hours. Just look up Water Hauling on Indeed in your area.

    I work for the sygma network. Im home everyday making 90k a year. Yes it is night shift, yes its long hours, if you dont mind working then go for it. My typical work week 3 team runs avg between 20-22 hours. Occasionally ill work extra shift. First couple months will suck being on the extra borad till you get a set route

    Coastal Transport hires right out of school, or at least they did last time I looked. They have terminals from Texas to California.

    There are a few others but just can't think of the names right now. A little searching and you can probably find someone close to you.

    Fuel hauling isn't as difficult to get into as people think. My first job was fuel hauling.
