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

does gulfmark hire from out of state?

 

This is correct. We do the same as SNI, we are a decent size company, but are starting to get bullied by larger firms such as SNI. We specialize in Drive-aways. My company hauls for Schlumberger in WV, OH,PA,TX,AR,LA,OK,ND. We essentially do drive-aways. Were we use our CDL drivers and move SLB equipment. We do this to keep the SLB hands from having to worry about watching their hours. It allows SLB to focus on drilling and we move their equipment under our DOT. Currently our ND division pays the best. We provide housing and for Hazmat drivers make around $70,000+. Depending how often you go home. However we do a 30/10 rotation. We pay for your flights home and back. Pretty decent deal. If you add up everything it can add up to close to $90,000/year. SNI is coming up here soon and will be a game changer. Hopefully they don't kill the wages.

Stepanahalf, Schneider will make you work, not like a training company, there trucks move. Still some BS to deal with, but the trucks move.

 

you work for Schneider ( oil Field ) ...?...

 

No. have not worked for Schneider. Have spoken to a number of their Drivers, OTR only. Most Drivers ,even the ones that do not like the job say Schneider trucks are moving. So I'm assuming oil field is to. I should have been more clear, forgive me. Thanks.

 

I am still working for Schneider in the oilfield. They call it Energy Transportation Service I believe. We have accounts with Schlumberger moving their frac equipment and sometimes cement and also Sand. We also have a few crude trucks here in San Antonio. I want to say it is with GeoSouthern and BP. Not sure about the BP though. The sand seems to be going steady now. It took a long time and seemed to get off to a rocky start. Schlumberger seems to want us to only drive their equipment but we have 20-30 of our own shiny new sand trucks now. I am not on the sand "team" but occasionally get sent to haul sand when they get too busy. Last night three other drivers and I went out to relieve some other drivers on a frac site who ran out of hours. We arrived on site about 9 p.m. and I got to unload my truck at 4 a.m. I was back home by 8:00 a.m.

Yesterday was "driver appreciation" day and some folks from Green Bay including the CEO of Schneider were here to eat Hamburgers, Hot Dogs and chips with the drivers.

A little video I shot last night:

 

You should look into other companys doing the same thing for the same company makeing twice the money
