    I know this forum has helped me a ton but just in case someone was wondering about getting on driving with no experience I literally just got off the phone for an interview with MBI and was told the following

    Orientation:
    5 days at $20 an hour which includes a “few days” on mochup rigs and getting all oil field “certs”

    Training:
    2-4 weeks at $20 an hour until you get signed off on

    Pay after training:
    25% a load, stated possibly 6-7 loads a day at $1.30-$1.40 per barrel so roughly 3-400 a day. No bonuses

    Housing:
    Room in a single wide $250.00 a month

    Insurance:
    No clue for single but a family was “363 every two weeks”

    Paid by weekly

    Schedule 4x2 but can do 5x1

    Sounds like a decent gig and no clue if this is all true just what the recruiter said so it’s all I got. Like I said just wanted to put it out there in case someone wanted to know.

    If it's your first oilfield job, take it, get a few months experience, and use MBI as a stepping stone to a better job. They're the Swift of the oilfield. Use them to get your foot in the door, and move on.

    Just searched up MBI out of curiosity. Yeah, that spiel *was* accurate... I was making $23/hr nights, non-exempt before the 2014-2015 crash. That's when they changed to percentage, and I got the hell outta Dodge!

    They got too big for their own britches and went bankrupt last year. Missouri Basin Well Service (MBI) is no more.

    That family insurance is really good! My husbands company is charging $1500 a month for family. So basically we are uninsured AGAIN!
