How is North Dakota right now for those actually working up there?

I was just up in Dickinson 2 weeks ago delivering to Halliburton. The operator that I talked to said that alot of their crews are still on standby.
I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as it was. But it's still been real slow to ramp up

 

Driving jobs?

 

I don't know about North Dakota but I'm in SWPA working steady. I got my CDL in spring 2015 after the bust and I'm not making as much money or getting the benefits I had during the boom as an non CDL laborer. At least it's a paycheck and it still beats OTR. Lots of places hiring water bottle drivers here, but for $15-17 instead of $20-22

 

That's still awful compared to water hauling jobs in ND back in 2012.
$3500 per week will never happen for company driver water haulers in WV, OH, or PA.

 

Those were good days. The.most I made was hauling water and fuel in ND. Pennsylvania paid peanuts.

 

Crude oil was too much BS and sand was good if you like to sit on your ###.

 

@ 25% of $2600.00 for a 5 hour round trip, there's no such thing as too much bs. That was a freak crude job in 2012 though.

 

Everyone always quotes their best check lol

 

Even when the water trucks were making $135.00 per hour in PA, it seems drivers were lucky to make 13%.
