    Don't be so hard on this opinion of your's Patrick ...... most of your opinions here are unpopular and somewhat looked down upon around this board. Nothing really strange about that ! just kidding y'all, just kidding ! :biggrin_25517:

    I agree with Patrick. Get cdl on your own. Frac, cement, and coil tubing just want to know if you have cdl with endorsements and if you can shift.

    So I passed my driving evaluation last week...I got assigned to a "mentor" yesterday. Hes a winch driver, he evaluates me on my driving and reports back to the managers and lets them know if im ready to be on my own or need more work on my driving...we winched some field storage bins and drove them to location...waited there for the cement to get there and off loaded the cement from the pneumatic trailers to the field storage bin...6 trucks total...spent 8 hours on location. ..had a total of 18 hours for the day...I tell u, winchers have it made! Easy easy easy! We spent most of the time watching videos online lol

    Almost drenched in acid. A couple inches from being crushed by a truck that started backing without guide. Nearly hit by falling iron. 3 days in a row.

    I hope you ripped someone a new one over those close calls. Backing without a guide is a very good way to kill someone. Especially with how close the equipment is spotted.

    3rd party sand hauler with a poor history. The guy I was carrying something with actually got knocked down and I was nearly crushed between what we were carrying and the next truck. Thankfully another driver saw the other guy fall and stopped the truck in time. Otherwise I wouldn't be typing this
