MEGA carriers enter the oil field market... (Schneider National)

Not sure exactly. It seems they had other companies drivers moving their equipment. I have seen EagleOne driving their equipment. I think EagleOne might be doing the exact same thing as us. Before I even got an interview(or a call back) from Schneider I applied with EagleOne. That's the first time I heard about moving Schlumberger equipment.

Schlumberger is opening a yard here in San Antonio(Von Ormy) and I have heard the yard in Leming is closing.

 

HERE, HERE I work in the Bakken and they (the large trucking co.) are taking all the contracts from the oil companies and then giving them to the owner ops for about 2/3rds what they are contracted for.

 

STEP: What model Pete do you use and what's the tranny on those things? Do you actually use the sleeper since you get to go home at night?

 

The better paying oil field jobs are way up north and Canada.

 

not to cut into thread but ffe is doing some oilfied work in west texas crazy world not back to the regularly scheduled thread

 

OMG those wages are horrible! $55k a year to do oilfield work?! My company has lost guys who are up in North dakota doing the safe stuff for $25-30 and hour with O/T.
I'm stunned they are paying that low! There was an interview(I'll see if I can find it) about the Eagle Ford area and how companies that were offering $26 an hour, couldn't find drivers who could pass a drug screen. Like a 70% fail rate. There has to be better wages than that for Drivers out there. Man that sucks!

 

Smith trans. from Roaring springs,Pa doing tank work also

 

I was down there pulling an end dump. We were hauling cuttings off of the drilling rigs. I talked with a Schnieder hand hauling crude. I was making around $500 a week more than him to haul oilbase cuttings!!!! I made $45,000 from the second week of june until the 7th of october. Now I wasnt home every night. I worked a 14 on, 7 off schedule and was turning in 130 to 140 hours a week. Schnieder in the oilfield = a place for drivers to make some great money going to hell.

 

Well I got on with Gulfmark Energy hauling crude. Decent job. I see those Schneider trucks lined up near the port of Victoria unloading onto a boat directly. Schneider is too cheap to buy space at the port directly.

 

who was you driving for?im interested in a 14 and 7 schedule in the oil feild
