Balken Oilfields?

I have had my Class A CDL for about 10 yrs now.
I was a airborne trucker for 30 years ,but a injury prevents me from flying anymore.
I have driven bus,wrecker and box van.
I just went back through school to get recurrent.
I am looking at Going to ND,MT,Wy to work in the Bakken oil field.
I am hearing a lot of conflicting information about working there so
I am planing on driving out and checking it out in person as well as handing my resume to who ever will take it.
I have all my endorsements as well as a current OSHA forklift and pilot car operator.My driving record is also clean as well as my background .Plus as a disabled vet the companies gets a pretty good chunk of change for hiring me now a days.
Does anyone one know who is good and who to stay away from out there?
Also is the housing still as bad as they say it is?
I don't mind paying a premium as long as the wages match.
Are there any Alaskan companies that use CDL drivers working the field?
I have heard do not send a resume as they get so many they do not even look at them,which is why I am going there in person.
Any help with info about working the oilfields would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks
Those two and Key where on my list.
The school I attended has had about a dozen new drivers go out and get hired by various places all with different wages and incentives.
I am looking at this because I do not want to stave anymore and all the recruiters that came do not pay much for the first few months.
Since i am used to being gone and doing 20 hr days The work hrs will be nothing new.
