    That’s good to hear that there is still a lot of work up there.

    They provide housing for me, benefits after 60 days, As for money I just started so we’ll see, I expect to be above $2K per week based on 70 hrs per week. Either way I’m here till the spring when frac-fluid heating tapers off. I do see “now hiring” billboards around.

    You can make more yanking a van around. Boxes killed the rates, no special equipment no specialized drivers, any idiot can pull a box. Trust me not worth it

    And that's exactly who's doing it, in the Permian and in the Eagle Ford anyway. All those DA container haulers decided to try their hand at making oilfield money.
