Help me not screw this up

Lulz.

 

What part of Ohio you in? Your in a good lane for most freight.

You mentioned oilfield work. Check out schlumberger in strasburg. Stingray frac in st clairesville off exit 208 on 70

 

Man I had a can of that for dinner tonite! mmmm mmm -
I heat mine up though with cheese and onions on top, threw in some Fritos corn chips as well -

 

You're in a good place. You'll be fine.

Now that you know you'll have no problem getting a job, get crackin on the rest of the stuff. And, yeah, get all of your endorsements, this site has enough practice tests that you can take, 3 times daily until you can pass them without error, to help you along. It's what I did anyway and I brezed through them all.

 

If it don't it will have....

 

Eat the chili as recommended, and i'll learned you how to do this.

F. Just what the world needs. Another new guy from the Cuyahoga.
Cleveland no less. OMFG.

 

I spent almost 2 years working in the oilfield out of the Akron-canton area (strasburg to be exact 15 min south of canton)

I'd give schlumberger a real hard look. The oilfields are ramping back up again. I didn't work for schlumberger directly, my company was contracted to haul and unload their bulk cement from yard to the silo's at the rig.

Being on a cement crew you'll be on location way more than driving and a lot of that time you'll be sleeping and still on the clock getting paid. Starting pay is 16-18 hr, some will say its low and I would agree but that's not including job bonus' (after every job you catch you get a bonus somewhere around 100-125 for a new guy) easy to do 4-5 jobs a week. Per-diem extra 2$ a hr kicks in soon as you leave yard

A 70hr week on a cement crew is what we called a slow week. Hoping from rig to rig its easy to rack up 100+hr a week. Add in all the extras and that's some serious coin.

15-6 schedule, good luck getting a schedule like that anywhere else. If I was in your shoes that's what id be doing. When the next bust happens take nice long vacation or go pull general freight
