140k per year in Midland?

Yeah, but there was something pure about being in the oilfields that I wouldn't trade for anything. The testosterone filled air, the H2S gas, and #### talkers that could spin a web a mile long. 23yr Olds running around with their chest poked out,and driving 60K pickup trucks. Fast Women Flying around town in Corvettes. Fights! It was pure brother! It was pure!
I turned back on my resume, and I got an interview this Thursday!

 

When I was out there all the old hands said stack that money up. Oil haulers still have work when the price of oil drops again.

 

Yes there is a bunch of people with poor mentality back out here again spending money as quickly or faster than they can get it. Financing a bunch of crap they may be earning a lot of money but have none. it all goes out the back door.

 

Is this 1099 pay?

 

Yeah when I first got out of Halliburton I wen to Gulfmark Energy for a few months hauling crude, but they switched from 24/hr to by the load and rate. Hence why I left! I've spent the last 2.4 years in school getting finishing up degree. Just wanted to accomplish that goal to show my kids! /shrug Since I was wise with the money! I was able to get it done without much stress. Saving that money was an important developed skill.

 

There are 2 certainties in the patch, the boom and the bust. Nobody can predict when either will happen so if you go the oil field, save that money!!!

 

lol yea its dirty and nasty plus dust storms you have to watch what company you work for water haulers are runing illegal dot stay on 20 most big outfits are bad

 

its very dirty and nasty you have to watch out for the water haulers speeding and dot stay on 20 and sleeping in man camps brutal cold winter time besides that its booming in midland and oddesa

 

im trying to find my pics of a dust storm i took awhile back - was glad i was parked cause driving in it was not an option

 

You'll make that and more if you run hard. A majority is 1099 and 25-30% of trucks gross.
