    No different than most stuff you would see in a municipal water plant.

    People think operators pump these horrible chemicals downhole, poisoning everything in sight. These same people probably have drank and smoked worse chemicals coming out of their tap water and tainted weed.

    Yeah. I worked at a waste water plant in a capacitor factory. Not all that bad.
    But I asked you that because there was one well that had a leaky tank of something that was unpleasant. I had to keep parking right next to it and unload sand. Only time I saw anything like that though.

    I will say owner operators hauling oil sure have nice trucks lol. I wouldn't he opposed to driving a nice truck for once lmao. So do oil haulers stay pretty busy? If so what kind of time should someone expect to work per week? And what kind of pay? One guy I talked to quoted me 400-500 a day as a driver. Which I could use lmao. Do drivers live in the truck or do a lot of places offer housing in some way? I'll have been with my company a year in September and I'll turn 22 in October. I imagine being under 23 would make it hard to get insured. I was going to sign up with hill brothers out if Omaha to run to and from Virginia and be home weekends but age didn't work out sadly.

    Ya I think being 22 might be a problem. But you gotta try.

    I agree 100%z

    If you work for a reputable outfit and get some experience under your belt you should have no problem making close to 100k a year. Legal. Plus benefits. Don’t know what that looks like in ND or who the players are but your a smart guy, Yoill figure it out.

    Like @bbq247365 said, get some experience first, make yourself indispensable. Get such a good reputation that people know who you are for the good things you do. Some guys on here might say I'm full of crap, but believe me, word gets around.

    I've always believed in being an asset to your company. Especially in a industry that's not afraid to trim the fat. I'll look around towards the end of the year if I'm not making a ton. I'm pretty happy at the moment. I go to the gym before work and leave around 8 and usually work 12-15 hours which is plenty for me. I'm lucky that I've got a great boss and a couple of coworkers I like quite a bit. My roommate tore his Achilles so he's been gone since the middle of January so I've had our house to myself which is nice lmao.
