    That's quite a narrow field. Off-road experience? I see those sandbox guys moving like crazy

    Just curious... Not trying to move out there long term... Wanted to go there for a couple months... Most jobs I've seen in other places all pay around the same amount net income of about 40k a year... It's just the lure of higher weekly pay.... But I'm over it now too much of b.s....

    Sure, I got on with a fuel company @26.50hr doing gas stations. At around 60hrs I gross 3,300-3,500 every 2wk pay period. All local fuel tanker companies pay between 65-85k I just happened to get on with one of the better paying companies. 5k sign-on bonus also.

    With an apt. and minor bills its more than enough money left over I that
    I can invest with.. rather than having my owner operator buddy make 50-60% off of me while bellied up to a bar..as I'm living in a truck in the crap-hole they named North Dakota!!

    By the way he makes $30k a month out there.
