Can you get lost on the back roads?

Oilfield,Halliburton would give the GPS location to the beginning intersection of the lease road.Then you take a truck route to that spot and follow the lease road in to the site.

 

I would get two pin drops from dispatch one to the gate and another to the site and figure the rest out myself and I was a night driver so in the oil field so them day drivers would have a cake walk I literally could drive by a site and never knew anything was there because how dark it is granted its not nearly as dark working on offshore.
There is an app to find wells and such but cost money and I am too cheap to pay every app that wants money from me to me it like a random homeless person with two good legs and arms asking for free money and wondering why they ain't working.

 

You can get directions or even lease maps from other drivers or the gaugers, but it's best to drop pins in Google maps (I have at least 200 myself) and use satellite view until you learn the locations by heart.

 

Yes, new customers and or wells, companies that aren't finding enough work don't last long. The thing is you either pickup stuff well in oilfield and move up or you stay exactly where you belong. Sometimes they will open a different way to the same oil pool. You should save sites locations and entrances it may clutter your Google Maps or whatever but will save you the headaches. if your a daytime driver, it will be easier but at night, you really rely on those markers because you have nothing else to really look at outside to know where stuff is.

 

If you're doing upstream work, yes, because they'll always be drilling or fracing new wells. If you're hauling crude, Y-grade, or produced water from leases that are already in production then you'll mostly visit the same locations.

 

Until reception is lost on your cell phone, and/or QuallComm. Or new roads don’t show Google Maps.
