West Texas

The misses and I, along with our dogs, are driving to Tucson in a couple of weeks. We will taking I20 through Abilene, Midland/Odessa etc. So my question is while in that area what companies should I look at regarding the oil business, taking into account that I have no oilfield experience, but 7 years of reefer/gas hauling and a clean record. This old boy needs a change, and my home state of Virginia isn't doing it.

 

Sure have, own some property east of El Paso at Cornudas.

 

I'd be open to most things as long I'm home every night and the pay is decent. Looked into crude hauling on this site, but with crude hauling remaking itself and man camps, there is a lot to be desired. Hell the last time I slept with a bunch of guys around was boot camp, and that was then.

 

Simply put, restructuring pay for drivers based on supply and demand and crude oil futures. Not to mention the consolidation or buyouts of smaller companies that didn't weather the last "bust" to well. I'm sure this will work itself out over time. Personally, I haven't worked the "fields" , but I have followed crude fluctuations and the meddling of opec.

 

Looks like I won't be driving out after all. Instead I'm flying out to DFW on Sunday for an interview / physical and roadtest next week for a company outside of Odessa.
