Why is anyone thinking home every weekend and it's a good a good thing?

The guy who is the most content with his situation made the most. I'm assuming that's probably your point.

 

I'm home every night, work 8-12 hour days and make more now than I did living in the truck.

 

ok I'll chime in!!! I'm home every night But my day starts at 2 am (cuz I have hay burners) leave for work 3 am in my truck 4 am back at the yard between 4 pm & 6 pm just switched a 5/2 5/3 shift to a 4/1 4x's with 7 off...theres a variety of jobs out there just research & search outside the box

 

Same here except the 20+ years just stay semi-regional am I getting rich...nope.But never heard of a truck driver getting rich from this industry.Getting bills paid(most of the time) can keep that weeks at a time out.

 

And those hours seem terrible to me, for any amount of money, but it works for you

 

yes to me too thats why I wanna switch adventures & go OTR woohoo probably one headache exchanged for another but I'm cool with that as well :*D Oilfield is good when its good but it come with burn out when the $'s aren"t there as an incentive

 

Ohhh, yeah it'd be great if oil got back up to 125 a barrel, I hate seeing all the drill rigs and stuff parked and waiting,

 

yes sir but sadly we are all predicting that eve if barrels $'s go up most companies including will hold old as long as possible to give us our wages back & I'm sorry the risk just doesnt equal the pay right now & side I'm tired of smelling H2S...luckily the guys at work trust I'm not hitting on them but it sure is nice when they where stink purdy & the offices gals know I'm NOT a lezbian so they dont get weirded out when I stand close just to smell something better then od'decrude hahaha
