do you want to go to work in the ND oil feilds

cost of everything is high, in the patch sometimes for grocery and stuff you can park at a fuel station or what not and walk into one of the small towns and buy stuff from there grocery stores for less, but best to stock up on your way to work. if you can get into Minot stuff is cheaper there as far as grocery and food. some of the little mom and pop restaurants in the small towns are reasonable anything in willistion is expensive. at the truck stop in stanley you walk out of there spending 30 bucks on a roll of paper towels a bag of chips a hot dog and a pop (that's a little exaggerated but not by much)

 

i actually saw that accident i was heading from Lambert mt to Stanley nd and came up on them clearing the accident site up. hopfully it was fresh water not produced water, if fresh no big deal on the spill but if produced water they will have to do a costly clean up involving removing at least a foot of contaminated soil.

i thought when i saw it that maybe the truck had gotten hung up and they some how ripped the tanker in two trying to get it free. tanker didn't look like it had been hit from the side, almost looked like it was sawed in half.

incidents like this are one of meany that are caused by people that should not even have a cdl but are working out here. and also part of the reason for me starting this thread so people have a idea of what there in for good/bad before they come out here. i would love to see more good drivers out here and less of people like this. i mean you don't need a GED to know to look for a train before crossing the tracks.
