    Anybody willing to tell me the major difference between doing frac or sand at one of the majors?

    I know I read it somewhere on here before but I can't seem to find it now.

    Main difference from what I understand is schedule. I work frac.. 14/7 on a rotating 12 hour(plus drive time) shift.

    Cement as far as I know is on call all the time. The work of course is different as well. Both involve lots of waiting

    So I officially start work on Thursday (orientation). I'm excited and grateful, been getting a lot of advice about the first few weeks, much appreciated. Definitely a company you can work at for a long time and been trying to learn whatever I can beforehand.

    Interviewed 8/14, physical 8/19, got the all clear 8/28, got the welcome instructions 8/29.
