well guys, its been a while and i been goin stronger than ever now. i havent been able to update because i havent had the internet and its hard to get it where i live and i been too busy to try. i scored the mother of all jobs. i got everything i always wanted. i got a truck always waiting for me, as a matter of fact, i drive it home to my trailer park, i start and finish when i want, i work as much as i want. i work 7 days a week between 100 and 120 hours. 120 is pretty hard but ive done it. i got a boss who lets me work and doesnt bother me. i dont deal with dispatches. i work my own route and i burn it up everyday. i cant say how much i make because i think it would make people sick but lets just say if i average 100 hours a week wich is a piece of cake for me, i make WELL over 140k. i got the job a guy like me deserves because i bring the attitude everyday 24/7 365.
you too can find yur pot of gold, its out there, u just got to find it and never give up and be willing to jump in and find out. it took me 2 months before i was rolling again and it was worth it but i have to admit i got lucky.....but just the same, i think i deserve it. ive already given a piece of myself to nabors and the oilfield which includes some permanent nerve damage to my neck and fingers (wont get into it) and like i said before, i'll give my life to my job and the oilfield and i never short change it or myself. bring that attitude with you and the sky is the limit.
i got lots of stories but no time......this thread will never die!
go get em guys.s -
....and by the way, i got a brand new kenworth and i dont use the air conditioning....why? because i'm the baddest mofo in the oil field, thats why. a company man on a rig told me i was crazy and i said hell yeah.

Glad to see ya back Paul. I'm out here in Tejas pullin' Frac sand. Just in time for the rates to hit the toilet. Glad to see you doin' good though, and the rates are gonna rebound, because they won't be able to keep the sand moving for free. Best wishes and thanks for the inspiration.

awesome, when I was at thomas I didnt use air conditioning either, but that is because it didnt work in our trucks. -

well people, i been drivin my ### off, workin 110+ hours a week, work every day, no days off and love it. i keep it all going with heart, corn nuts, turkey jerky, caffeine and nicotine. ive found that drivin a 120 hours in a given week is very difficult, there is a huge difference between 110 and a 120. my job doesnt allow a day off because the sewage tanks dont wait for anyone and i stacked my route to the point of having to go and get it every day. i even got company men who feel a bit sorry for me or shake my hand or give me drinks and food because they know how much i work and i got no support.....yes, company men, this is unheard of, personally i wish they would just bark at me and leave it at that. i got one company man who at least yells at me now which is excellent progress, i am just too consistent and johnny on the spot for these guys not to warm up to me.
the same company man yelled at me because some residule tiny amout of sewage hit the ground during a rig move, he came ove and i was ohhhhhh boyyyyy and i told him i was gonna clean it up and he leaned over and said we got a bunch of safety guys around and they are watching everything and i said sir, when i get done cleaning that, there could be a dead body under there and nobody would know it......he nodded his head and walked away.
so any way, things have never been better, i feel at home on locations and theres no stopping me, see you all later
