    You do that often?

    Be careful. You could go blind. ;)

    I've spent over 40 years trying to figure out how Halabortion is even still in business. They dictate every move you can or can't make, when to breathe, how to blow your nose,etc. Pretty close to the most ridiculous outfit I've been around. Fortunately I never had to work FOR them, just with them.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Halliburton if I'm honest. But this was Northeast division, I've heard down south that it sucks more. I also had arguably the best 2 supervisors possible who would do anything for their guys. They really seemed to take good care of us. And I got a free CDL out of it.

    The best thing Halliburton ever did was put Baker Hughes out of everyone's misery...

    6 weeks seems like a very long time to me. But I only went out with a trainer for 8 hours fresh out of school and they were like "ok, you're on your own" Baptism by fire to say the least.

    Hey Dyna , in your neck of the woods I am surprised you can't get on with another fracking outfit . Good luck regardless

    I was with first trainer for 28 days. His truck blew up and took too much hometime. My 2nd trainer had my training done in just over a month.
    If i had the 2nd trainer as my first, i would have been done in 4o days tops. And werner paid me $550 a week for every week i was there. Not all Megas are bad.
