Midland/Odessa is a pretty good place for new drivers if you don't min working in the oilfield.
Finding a job is one thing, and finding a home is another. I would ask your company and see if they know or have something set up for workers.
The wife and I are flirting with the idea of making a permanent move to Dallas but in the mean time we do maintain a small apartment in Dallas....
Congratulations Dude!! You was here what, two days? It probably took you longer to drive here from NY than it did to locate a job.
This, I don't haul pipe and thus not sure about our laws concerning it but stakes just make sense...especially when it comes time to unload.
We generally don't see that sort of storm this late in the season. It's usually cool fall like weather with the occasional light rain or drizzle....
I've lived in West Texas all my life but this is my first year as a driver/oilfield worker. So it's hard for me to gauge or feel much when it...
Well first of all Thank You for your Service! As for career, a young single man could make a fair chunk of change in oilfield trucking. Then save...

The more I read these threads, the more I realise how lucky I got lol All I had to do was a drug test and a Doctor's physical....blood pressure...
Sorry dude, I don't know much about Lonestar Distribution but it sounds more like a courier company than an oilfield outfit. If worst come to...
The reason I ask is it seems like some of the ND guys are headed South for the winter. I knew they paid more but wondering if they did anything else.
The 70-80's West Texas was a different oilfield for sure! My dad was a Roughneck back in the early 80's and they would load up on Budweiser and...
I've been to Canada and you guys have some beautiful country for sure but anything below 50 degrees is cold for this West Texan lol My question...
Best of luck! If you need help with directions or something let me know.
