Need work? South Texas Oilfield hiring like crazy!

Buy a used semi truck and a fifth wheel camper. You can find a good used semi cheaper then you can find a good diesel dullay pickup. Tag it as a recreational vehicle and pull your camper to ND and find a place to set up. Rent the sleeper out to someone living in their car and you might get enough to make the payments. Then find you a good driving job. It sounds good.

 

In Texas if you don't leave the state you can drive 12 hours in 15 hrs is what I think the law reads, anyway I know the 12 hour rule is still correct not sure on the 15 a few years ago that was the rule

 

In Texas you can drive 12 hours per day if you do not leave the state

 

Assuming you have payments. The guy that we're leased on with now has a nack for finding pretty decent trucks for $6-8000.

 

kajidono, do you think the guy you're leased too, can find me a truck when i'm ready to buy one in that price range?

thanks,

robert

 

Maybe. I can ask him when the time comes.

 

Anybody got updates on south Texas?

 

Sure Me99...

There will be an oil and gas job fair on April 3rd...

Check out craigslist, lots of jobs posted there. I drive by yards between Victoria and San Antonio and see banners looking for CDL drivers.

You can go on workintexas.com and create a profile and see a bunch of listings for winch, vac drivers, and equipment operators.

Caterpiller is building a huge plant here in Victoria so they say housing will get tight. You can find apartments here but houses are tough to come by and expensive. We just signed a lease for $1450/month for a 3br/2ba.

South of San Antonio is booming! Come get some!!

 

Hi, do you know of any companies that are hiring owner operators for the crude oil hauling jobs in South Texas?
