    I know most of this has been asked but wanted to put my specific questions out and I greatly appreciate any help, and or guidance.

    Run down
    Cdl class A
    Hazmat, tanker, doubles triple, Twic,passport (and card)
    0-6 months experience (school and local company with dry van part time)
    MVR is spotless (knock on wood)
    No criminal history or drug usage

    Question:
    Who is hiring drivers with little experience and offering housing or live in trucks. Reason for housing is im from South Carolina but want to get it while the getting is good and understand it won’t last forever.
    Literally want to do nothing but save everything as well as get the experience needed to work oil field anywhere that’s paying when it dries up (Tx and ND main focuses)

    I recently applied to Halliburton and been calling local companies from Craigslist but both of which I’ve read on here can be good or terrible decisions.

    Anyone that can set me straight thank you as I know NO ONE personally that’s ever worked oil field

    Edit:
    Would also start in nd if possible, 27, cdl has no restrictions

    Go there and look around and talk to people. You might decide to turn around. If not, you made a note of some used RV lots you passed on the way out; go back to one and make a deal.
     
    8590 Thanks this.

    If you have a pulse and a CDL, you can get a job anywhere right now. Top Shelf, Big Lease, MBI Energy Services.

    Ditto what Crude Truckin said. We get approached at leases and offloads all the time recently with competing offers.
     
    Crude Truckin' and 8590 Thank this.

    From what I understand, they run legal, supply company housing free of charge to the single employee, commission based pay, and the "average" driver makes 400 a day minimum.
