Message:: [QUOTE="JPenn, post: 2780363, member: 15024"]If you're going to pull a tanker for oilfield/nat gas, GET A SLEEPER AND LIVE IN IT.  The poster up a few about housing prices is unfortunately right on the money. Same thing happened in NE PA with the Marcellus Shale gasfield bit. Property owners are gouging as all get out and renting places I wouldn't leave a dog for 1000+ a month. Unfortunately they're getting away with it because people are paying for it. It's cooled off here quite a bit and the property owners/scalpers are now rather unhappy, and lots of them are selling the properties. I'll say it again, get a tractor with a tolerable sleeper, and live in it just as if you were OTR. Work your 12-14 hour shift, take 10, repeat. Don't give in and pay these ungodly rates for crap housing. You can make a lot of money with their hourly rates, but you will need to exercise quite a bit of care with regard to your fuel burn as they will definitely not pay for fuel.[/QUOTE]
