Halliburton paying 120k per year for CDL work?

It won't be long term and they fire a lot of employees

 

The gig is in Iraq!

 

I don’t think the gig is in Iraq. If the compensation you listed is true I guess it could be Iraq but your chances of spending the money would be slim since there are not enough troops in Iraq to ensure safe travel like they did previously. The situation in Iraq is more dangerous now than ever. I was in Iraq from 2004 to 2010 and there was plenty to do and plenty of contractors and troops. I think the only troops in Iraq are specialized like special operators and their focus is different. I think they would be using Iraqi drivers if anything. It could be a gig in Afghanistan or elsewhere in the Middle East but those salary figures don’t sound correct because it would have to be in a combat zone where you would actually leave the base. Then again you can make that kind of money here if you make the right moves.

 

It could be that you are just guessing!

 

Do you have more credible info or are you guessing that I’m guessing? Geez! You contribute nothing and say I’m guessing. That tells me a lot about your trolling.

 

I think the operative word is having a cell phone to be called to work. There was never any reliable cell service available in Iraq. Plus you would have to change out the SIM card. The only time you could call out was in Kuwait. The only reliable communication in Iraq was a SAT phone.

 

Is this for a contractor position? I've never met anyone at Halliburton that wasn't a direct hire. Best, and worst way to get a Halliburton job is through their website.

When it was busy we had lots of contract labor, they were paid more, but were also the first to be let go when it slowed down.

Last I heard Schlumberger was only hiring through a temp agency, all new people are temp to hire contractors. It is possible Halliburton is doing the same now.

FYI, you need a CDL, but you'll use a sledgehammer way more.
