    I live in MN so the ND climate isn't a big deal to me, Accuweather real feel right now is -25. ND is right next door, and as others have posted on here, there is still lots of opportunity.

    What would be the best way of going about it, and if you are from MN what schools do you recommend?

    Thanks.

    Would it be better just to get the Class A and endorsements in MN, then apply to these companies? One of the truck schools I was looking at, Heavy Metal Truck Training has a partnership with an oilfield company called MBI Energy Services.

    MBI has a partnership with heavy metal? Never heard that.
    If you want to hit the ground running making thebest money out here then yes get your cdl a before hand. Frac hands average about $16-$18 an hour 90+ hrs a week.
    Drivers $20-$30 an hour 60-80 hrs a week, not exposed to the elements as badly.
