Oil & gas fields

[Orangetxguy]

All the outfits I've been around require at least two years exp. some will start you as a swamper at a lower rate and train and you can git your cdl through them, but most want some exp.

A swamper is basically an assistant you hook up cables grease trucks and other odd jobs, but dont quote me on that havent started yet.

The "Patch" is anywhere they drillin be it oil er gas, this patch is NW of Farson, WY.

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: That is exactly what a swamper on a "Gin" truck...and a H2O truck are! The swamper gets to get greasey, muddy, grungey, tired...while the "driver" gets to whatch ya do it!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Been there..done that..tore up the shirt and burned the hat !!!

Good luck Iron !!!

I'm not afraid to do what it takes to git where I want to go. If that means startin at the bottom of the totem pole then so be it.

When an opportunity arises to increase my experience I take it.
In my short 13yrs in the trucking industry I've pulled vans, flats, reefers, tanks, possum bellies, end dumps, belly dumps, grain trains, and spud trls (board, and self unloaders).

It's time to move on to something new, and if it doesn't work out I always have something to fall back on.
