I don't mind camping in my car. I slept in the bed of my toyota tacoma for months in the North Dakota winter, lol that was pleasant!

Use what service you want. Im just giving a heads up from a guy who lives here and been working the oilpatch in this area since 2001. I had Verizon and it just didnt do me a good job in the west tx area. There is a good 100 mile deadzone East of San Angelo and i could go on. Ill take spotty reception over none any day. They sell Boosters at Best Buy. Where Verizon does work it does work good. Your gonna get sent out to BFE.. Midland/Odessa/San Angelo is not BFE. The good thing is both have prepay plans and you can decide which is best for the area you work.

Great info on the oiltrax and If your hauling to rigs RigData has every active rig location in the US.

federal lands are not just national parks... 52% of utah is federal land... 38% of wyoming is federal land...

the federal government owns roughly 635-640 million acres, 28% of the 2.27 billion acres of
land in the united states. Four agencies administer 609 million acres of this land: The forest
service (usfs) in the department of agriculture, and the national park service (nps), bureau
of land management (blm), and fish and wildlife service (fws), all in the department of the
interior (doi).

The blm manages 248 million acres and is responsible for 700 million acres of subsurface mineral resources. The blm has a multiple-use, sustained-yield
mandate that supports a variety of uses and programs, including energy development, recreation,

grazing, wild horses and burros, and conservation

read those facts very carefully... The federal government controls more of the mineral rights than the land...

Your argument is flawed, as the federal government has crashed the us oil market before, and will again, in the name of protecting the public. Same way they have destroyed the coal industry... Via regulations.

Walrus...

I too am looking to head into the oil fields.

I am in an accredited CDL school right now in Texas.

Should be graduating in under a month.

Aiming straight for crude hauling.

Good luck to you.
