    Who in their right mind would work oilfield work for $16 an hour? Let alone drive a truck for that. Local driving jobs start off more.
     
    Dharok and Chewy352 Thank this.

    Depends on the setup and cost of living of the area. If it guaranteed 50hrs and was local to me I'd probably take it. Hauling brine and mud isn't stressful, honestly pretty relaxing running country roads to disposal wells. I only made 15/HR running for Shale Transport out of Stoney TX,home every night, random days off to conserve hours. off 2 full weekends a month, grossed 1000-1100/week, and had a 4 mile commute to work. Liked the job, bottom just fell out of fracing in North Texas.

    Well if it's right in your backyard and kept you busy that's great.
