Tanking crude oil, gas, or water in Arkansas...

Sun Coast has a yard in Pine Bluff. That is just south of Little Rock.

 

i currently live in AR. My brother lives in Central Ar where a lot of the drilling takes place (he draws royalties from a few wells in fact) and my nephew works on one of the frac crews. As far as I know, the wells in AR are gas wells. My nephew moved to Conway (just west of L.R.) in order to be closer to the work, so that's probably not a bad place to look at and it is a very nice area.

It is my understanding that the pay will be less in AR. The real boom here was a couple of years ago. They are still drilling, but it has slowed down quite a bit. JM Oilfield Services out of Quitman, AR is supposedly a good water hauler. I also noticed last week that Dupre Logistics has openings in Little Rock, Fort Smith and Memphis for tanker drivers. Those would all be gas, most likely loading in Memphis and delivering to stations and/or bulk plants in AR. I have no confirmation of that. Personally, I would think Dupre would be a good call to make. You would be in their system and if the situation changes, you could possibly transfer right back to TX as a crude hauler?

 

Dupree in AR will be hauling gas to c-stores...thats what the recruiter told me. But honestly thats gonna be your best job in that area probably unless you want to do ltl. There is still some gas drilling going on, but not as much as far as I know. Demand for drivers is likely down alot.

Have you considered doing a 3 on/1 off schedule or something so you could continue in crude?

 

You can try j&m , union, texas transco, two states, m&m, fitzgerald. They are all reasonably close to conway and I know most of then are hiring.eastern tanker is hiring to but they are about an 70miles west of conway.it really shouldn't be hard to find a job out here at all and the cost of living is normally cheap.hope this helps
