Great jobs in Texas

C5 4 Now, what kind of position are you looking at performing for Sanjel if you don't mind me asking? I see they are hiring Coiled Tubing Operators and Fracturing Drivers.

 

hey...i am gonna go and read all the posts but havent yet. my husband and i ran team for 21 yrs. i just quit the 1st part of Feb. (health) hubby went to ND to work oilfield...he is at a man camp, they provide housing/meals and tranp. HOWEVER he isnt getting the hours....we live in TX and would rather him be down here anyway, anyone know of any companies down south that have the same kind of deal he has now??? I have been online all day looking, but they dont wanna tell ya anything (pay hrs etc)...i filled out 3 apps for him so far.any advice would be greatly appreciated. he has 28 yrs exp. thanks

 

Hey Giggles, I htink theonly way to grt hired for sure is to walk in the door. I don't know any CO that provides housing and I think wages to start for drivers average $15- $17, not sure. There was a Craigslist ad I called on in Odessa and they were offering $18-$20 and they did call back when I left a message. But the problem is housing and they told me to try and find housing and call back. I work for Nabors and they have shops all over. Try questions for new drivers, theyhave a couple of threads to find info.

 

You Husband has a job and benefits everybody wants, but not enough hours. Scary

How many hours is he working?

 

45~50....we talked about it lastgnight , he is gonna stick it out and hope it picks up....they do have everything he wants....its just hard to go from both of us working(income) to low hours with him just working...but we are gonna try n make it work!!!! considering they said a min. of 90 hrs a wk....thats a huge diff. in $$$$.....hopefully things will improve!!

 

where in N.D. is he working and only getting 50 hours?
Is he a CDL A driver?
Thanks

 

Just wait till crude oil makes a big drop and see how long they shut down. It happens.

 

yes, cdl a with haz mat and tanker and 28 yrs exp. oh yeah, by williston

what are you talkin about???? we have been on the road forever, but oilfield is new to us....

 

And the Oil field can and will slow down.

 

The price of oil would have to cut in half for the drilling to stop right now. It's not gonna happen. In 2008 when the bottom fell out the price dropped dramatically but came back within a few months if I remember right.

Natural gas fields are gonna be a different story though. The price is so low right now most companies are moving their rigs out of the barnett and Marcellus.

If your husbands in north Dakota I wouldn't worry too much. Winters are always slow and it seems every company with a few trucks are up there tryin to make a buck right now. The rates need to come down a little up there so some of the companies will fall off and there will be more work to go around.
