Packing list for North Dakota oilfields

One thing you will wanna bring is a safe, because from the hiring ads i see, you are going to be making a ton of money. If I had experience driving a tanker I would go that route too.. Congrats Driver

 

Beau, just curious, shows you to have 0-1 year experience. How long have you been driving and how hard was it to get hired there. I've got all my endorsements but very little experience and thinking about applying. BTW, It's been a really mild winter up that way so far but count on it being as low as -20 at times with strongwinds = cold wind chills. By March it starts to warm up..a little. Good luck with the new job.

 

Take some kind of an empty container with you,














you can use it to catch your kahoonies when they freeze off !!!!

 

First of all, when winter sets in it is going to be colder than you ever imagined. Second I hope you know how to drive on icy roads,probably going to see alot of those.If it all works put for you,why would you waste several days taking a bus home,just fly out of Billings or Bismarck. Good Luck.

 

Something I take with me everywhere: A back up plan and an emergency plan. Never plan to fail, never fail to plan, and never panic when your plans fall apart and #### hits the fan.

Keep it tight.

 

While it can be a bear to deal with the ice and snow, the real fun is in the early spring when the surface thaws but the frost layer is still there beneath. It's like driving on a wet, muddy sponge.

 

Beau, can you please pm me w/ contact info also. I would appreciate it. I decided not to renew my lease on with company I was hauling for to go to nd. I have 21 yrs experience excellent record and familiar with the cold here in Montana. Looking for work...thanks
