Do a search here for Marcellus to find out about some of the E&P opportunities in the Marcellus Shale play. Also, try to find drilling companies in your area and go talk to them.

It might be kinda slow now, considering the low price of gas, but there are probably still some opportunities out there. You might have to knock on a lot of doors to find one, and you might have to start out doing some dirty work. The right attitude and selling yourself in person goes a long way in the oil patch.

 

I think a lot of this punctuation problem comes from people trying to post from phones. At any rate, I think a simple suggestion to 'work on communication skills' is much better than beating his ### up and kicking him in the nuts like you did.

Further, some of the best truck drivers I've ever known probably couldn't have even spelled CDL.

Also, on the subject of spelling, grammar, etc:

I wouldn't agree with them that "it's pretty much impossible to stay off the road." Is it easier to go the big company/otr route? Sure. But, there are success stories posted on here almost daily of people that made something happen for themselves by going after what they wanted. You can do that, too.

If you haven't seen it already, check out this sticky thread from the top of this forum:

Read it all the way through, and then get busy and go after what you want. Make something happen.
