    Its hard to keep your mind in the game up here when your thoughts are somewhere else. But you are a professional and can do it. Worrying about family is the worst thing to happen while being here. Hope things get better for you! See you out there. Be safe

    If you are smelling H2S and then stop smelling it be warned because it doesn't take a very strong dose to immediately affect your sense of smell. Are all of you required to wear an H2S meter? I work out of 3 refineries in the Toledo/Detroit area and have seen first hand what Hydrogen Sulfide can do to someone. You are most likely smelling sulfur if you have a meter and it doesn't go off. Those meters should pick up as little as 1ppm. I just care in case you were not trained properly. Anyhow I look forward to seeing you guys out there soon since Toledo sucks and I'm bored and need an adventure!! :)

    I'm in Crosby ND and up here the companies are T&R, North West, Power Fuels, Missouri Basin aka MBI. Two small companies are Zito, who I work for and Ronman Trucking

    i have always used Craigslist to find jobs. Look in the JOBS section under transport

    i saw an ad up from Brady transport and they have trucks in just about all the oil patches. They have nice trucks and benefits but pay isn't as high to pay for all those benefits lol
     
    firecracker31 Thanks this.
