negative ND Craigslist postings

Somebody's looking for a sucker, that's what!!

 

if your looking for oilfield jobs on Craigslist you are probably going to be disappointed in the job you find.

 

OK, well I thought I would disassemble this post based on one common scam in the oil patch...

This requires you work a minimum of one month before getting a paycheck for two weeks. Read that carefully. The company holds onto two weeks of your labor until you quit or get fired, at which time they supposedly pay the rest. The check will be in the mail after you leave. They promise. Really.

Well, if you fall for that one, the ocean-front property in Arizona is still for sale. This is a tip-off that the owner-operator who owns the truck without a driver has no capital with which to pay you until (unless) it gets paid by the oil company. Drivers in this position are financing the company's operations with their hard work.

Further, any driving position requiring you to pay for your own drug testing, background check, MVR or DOT physical are too cheap to make it in oil. Morons only need apply.

 

We should resurrect this thread and cut and paste the funny CL oilfield job rants here. I read one a couple of weeks ago where a guy was going off about a company in South Texas and it was hilarious!

 

Craigslist is hit and miss but in my opinion it is mostly miss. I have ended up with really average jobs off craigslist at best.

 

I work for a reputable company in Watford City, ND and I make $29 an hr hauling oil, FREE HOUSING with my own key, payed swap time, and ALL PPE is FREE!! Best part of it I found my job on craigslist LOL. It is true craigslist is a joke, but I mean if you have experience and are not willing to settle for anything then do your homework. You will find that good job, just takes time.
