    Yes they will hire you. We currently have two O/O that are leased on to us with road winches. They make killer money!

    Kinda been a slow week this week. Im only going to finish the week with 54 hours. Every once in awhile i can deal with a slow week after working 80 to 100 hours a week for weeks on end. We have to move a rig Sunday so hopefully this week we will get back on track. I could go to the yard and get "shop" hours but I didn't come out here to be a mechanic so I will just enjoy the days off as they can be few and far between.

    Finally found a gym that was affordable enough that I didnt mind joining with out the worries of my schedule not lettuing me get my money worth. Im only paying $16 a month so even if I only get to go 3 times a week I will still get my money worth. it felt so good to finally get back into the gym again. I have always tried to stay in decent shape when running OTR by running and working out with dumb bells, but to actuyally get back in to a gym, well its another advantage of having a job where im home evrynight.

    They won't lease you a trailer you need a truck and trailer combo if you plan on leading on.

    thought i'd put this out there as a tool for everyone. www.quicktransportsolutions.com/carrier/texas/odessa just change the state and city to the desired area you want. site list all trucking companies giving their name, address, phone/fax numbers, mc or dot numbers, any accidents or dot inspection results, number of trucks operated and a map of their location. site has a great deal of info, however it does not allow you to just print the page. good luck to all and see everyone in texas next week.

    Gentleman I'm a newbie here just asking for helpful advice. I'm fixing to be a retired from the US Army in about 4 months. I'm will go to a truck driving school and then head that way. My question is what oil field service companies hire recent grads or any suggestions for where to start? If not where should i go to get integrated? Also is the work still steady there? Thanks!
