How to get a job in the oilfield and become a truck driver

Yeah EZ we run into that around here but if none of the treatment plants would accept it we try to get it to either an injection well in ohio or a landfill.

 

Ben Gunn!I am your follower from Fl with new cdl liscense like you without any experience.May i ask you what is the key starting pay wage?how many hour you can get per week and benefit?I am planing to aply in person this week.Thanks!

 

I think that you will be better off for he time being staying put in the oilfields!! If you want to go OTR I hear LTL is a good way to go. Personally I would rather haul loads in the oilfields!! Save some money up and become an O/O with a winch truch and lease it on with an oil company out there!! I hear the money in it is incredible!!

 

I think you answered your own question

 

Exactly!! Stay where you are!!


Brad6.9 if your in Lawton do you ever run over to Meers for a burger? I had a few back in the 70s and then again last year BEST BURGER IN THE COUNTRYi WISH i COULD MAIL ORDER EM

 

I'd stay right there for awhile. You're getting experience with a tanker and I believe that will payoff in the long run. We've had a few drivers come from the oilfields and started hauling gasoline and they would never go back.

As far as what you believe in the news about fracking nothing that I have seen deals with oil wells. It's all natural gas that leaks out from the casing. People that can light their tap water on fire sure have a problem but you'll hear the companies say there's nothing wrong. I've made the most of my living from a major oil company and I wouldn't trust them in any case. Just look at how BP stated that deep well drilling is safe and don't worry. Then when they have the biggest spill in U.S. history they come out and say it's beyond todays technology to stop the leak. The product itself is better today than years ago but it's the methods they use to extract the product that makes the problems. Which effects much less. But then if you're one of those effected then it's much bigger.

 

A very sober and well thought post. Bravo, sir!u
