What's the real deal in Texas?

i would say for oil field to physically go door knocking you stand a much better chance of finding a job. not saying you cant find a job over the phone but your odds are much better going door to door.

If you haven't been to ND lately, let me tell you that after delivering a couple loads there on flatbed it looks kind of like a mess right now. They simply can't build roads and houses fast enough to keep up right now, so you got all these trucks running 24/7 on makeshift dirt roads which turn to mud every time it rains, which is snow half the year up there. Some of the companies offer "housing" in the form of FEMA trailers with community bathrooms, that are also a big mess. I mean if you have that pioneering spirit and are willing to do whatever it takes for the big money, go for it ! I talked to a guy at a sale last week that was paying drivers $2000/wk to run 12 hour days slip-seating running crude up there. that's pretty good money ! I didn't care for the whole scenario, kind of like Chicago-style traffic on mud roads out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but the dirtiest muddiest trucks and most hagard looking drivers and workers I've ever seen.

 

You might have better luck watching Craigslist for owner ops leased on to larger companies.

Be careful, though. I drove for three days once for a guy up here in north Dakota, until I realized he wasn't carrying insurance on the truck. He had no intention of putting any on it, either.
