    I went and did it for a couple months, just got back..loved it..want to be o/o there!!!!...them live frac's are a buzz huh?
    How about the late night radio selection!! LOL

    Williston, geez, the hub of madness

    I actually found a cute little 3 bedroom house there, built in 1940, worth about 30k, on sale today for 300k!!!

    Do you guys see the craigslist ad's for o/o water haulers (3000 to 5000 a week)..It has a picture of a guy next to a tanker, standing in a giant pool of water!! It looks like the guy dumped his entire load on the ground!!

    How about the insane equipment up there...SANJEL has tons of the craziest looking equip

    We had a new trucking school guy in our group, he blew up a disposal facility not grounding out...they lost 3 disposals when I was there just in October..The other 2 were due to lightning

    Anyways, just random thoughts

    yeah ive seen that ad on the north dakota CL, is that B.S.? ive also seen similar ones in texas saying $10-15K a week for O/O too.
    im currently a heavy haul O/O local in Michigan and that sounds like what these guys were making here 10-15+ years ago now a fraction of that. not even worth it anymore here

    Well slot of freshwater jobs pay around 2.00 a bbl or buy the hr so with a 160 bbl tanker and 3 to 5 loads a day you do the math.....the boss is still making alot of money after paying me 20 an hr

    That ad is a guy trying to sell a book about making money in the oilfield lol. He's not hiring anybody he's just looking for people to make money off of.

    id like to get out of the O/O seat for a little while relax a bit and drive for a company but with #'s like that i could very easily see myself putting up with the hassle of being an O/O.

    Hence, I do not recommend commission driving jobs.
