Question related to OTR driver and OTR vs Oil Field

Depends on what you do in the oilfield, and where you're planning on working.

 

I'm in ND, so I can't speak for work down there. And if it was me, I'd be getting work before you put on drivers because if you get drivers first, and work doesn't come on line as planned, you're probably going to have pretty disgruntled employees. Just my 2 cents.

 

Sorry, can't help with the good driver part, bud. Skilled drivers are becoming a thing of the past, slowly and steadily being replaced by game playing neckbeards that just moved out of mom's basement. My buddy and I are from ND and don't plan on leaving ever. We have a pretty gravy job in the oilfield, even made good money during the downturn.

 

A "good" driver nets good pay, and a "great" driver "earns" great pay. It's all about the pennies & bennies, so what are you looking for and what do you have to offer?

 

Hate to say this but I don't think 30% on a 1099 will get you a competent hand. You might get takers trying to better themselves from bottom feeders. @Chinatown might be able to point a few to ya.

 

1099 vs W2 see the post by @Hurst on the botton of the 2nd page,he says 50%
