Tanker & Haz-Mat

Well I was gonna post last night but thing's got crazy around here. I was standing outside last night waiting on my finace to get home from the store enjoying some cool air and went into jumped out of my skin after I heard two really loud blast's from the pressure off the well then followed by a fire ball atleast 100 feet in diameter shot up in the sky over the tree's and lit up everything then I went into panic mode. Rocked the house, woke the kid's, my two cat's went ape ####, neighbor's come running out. Police dept. got there in a hurry. Now there's a controlled burn off that's been constantly burning sense with a loud roar. By the time everything settled I was wore slap out from nerves being on end last night.

Still researching companies. Waskom is a bit of a drive to and from every day but I figure if I can land one of those companies out around the Minden area then I might consider relocating to the other side of town to be closer. I have the FMCSR and Haz-Mat hand book's along with the Louisiana CDL manual so I have plenty to study. Used to have a EPA chemical training card but it's expired and that's from a company I worked for that sprayed herbicide from a helicopter and worked on the back of a combination mix tank truck that had a helipad built on top.

As far as job's in the patch, ohhhh the choices. Got my 2nd W-2 from Prime it look's much better than the one from Marten so this may be more promising than I thought. Thank's everyone for your information. Also if I decide not to get the TWIC card because of not being able to pick it up is it possible of getting a refund? Not sure if anyone can answer that one but like they say, the dumbest question you can ask is the one you don't ask.

 

OK guy's. Been down sick but got my tax's handled up and I'm getting a return back. No pay in. Woot Woot! Somehow I think my preparer screwed up but if so it's not my problem that I'm getting aover $1,100 back. So everything is in line, just waiting on my check to get here and some time within the next couple of week's my daughter will be due. Can't wait. Still having trouble with TSA and the TWIC card. They said they sent me a letter stating what they needed for a minor little issue that just need's clearing up but it's been at least two week's sense I talked with them and I still haven't received the letter in the mail.

Was on my way to Wally World this evening and stubbled upon a salt water/oil patch company about 4-5 miles from my house so when I am fully better and over this flu crap I'm gonna stop in and talk with them. Also talked with my finace's friend and got some helpful info from him so we'll see how she goes.

 

OK, it's been 3 week's. Still haven't received my information from TSA. I'm starting to get annoyed with these people. Will be back on the phone with them tomorrow. I know the TWIC card probably won't be of any use in the oilfield but figure sense Prime deducted the fund's from my pay without my consent to get it I may as well get it and keep from money going wasted. Look's like that might be what's gonna happen though because I'm getting really tired of getting the run around.

Possibly looking into H&P at their Tyler, TX. office and see what they have to offer. From what I've seen on the net and first hand, I'm pretty impressed with what I see but don't know what they have to offer as far a benifits and such.
