    I already bought a plane ticket to Midland. I don't care where I live I just want to go where I feel I will be hired fast with no experience. Also since I'm leaving my home I want to go where I can work for the most moneypossible. Eastern pa north Dakota or Texas. Doesn't really matter to me. Tho if pay is similar I'd rather Texas. -20 vs 70 degrees and all that.

    Rig crews, casing crews, wireline etc all hire CDL holders too so look at those as well you’re not stuck to just trucking companies.

    Where do people makenthe most money?. I see all these different oilfield jobs but can really tell what's the best money. Ill probably just start working for whoever offers me the first job that doesn't seem like they are way underpaying me. But not going to lie, my whole reason for going to the oilfield is the money so I'm trying to figure out where in the patch I'd make rhe most. Like water hauler vs wireline etc , which would be the mpst money etc.

    Most money least experience? Probably drilling rig or workover rig..frac crews and casing crews. Depends on a lot of things though. Hours, overtime, per diem, paid housing, elog vs paper logs, etc.

    I got hired on with about 10 guys hauling crude oil in Midland. We all left within one year. Cost of living too high. Oklahoma is much cheaper. And lots of trucking jobs

    Texas will never be as cold as North Dakota.

    I would just be great full I got an opportunity to get hired. Get your experience and as your working and getting your experience you’ll find out whose who in the oilfield I can assure you all those YouTube video guys paint this pretty picture that is a little off from the reality. The chances of you landing a job without experience and getting a good wage are kinda low he’ll even people with experience get offered ####ty wages. A for sure job would be water hauling and sand hauling. Sand you just haul sand but by hauling water depending on the company and if they have service work you’ll be able to have a tour of the oilfield and see what company does what and what company pays what all while getting paid and getting your experience then once you have at least 6 months of Ethiopia’s can now start planning your next move
