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:

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.

You have a couple of options, since it's not just one company:

Craigslist
State employment office
Monster.com
Waste Management has a division, REL, I do believe (they're running water trucks - Tri and Quad axle straight trucks)
Smith Transport out of Roaring Springs, PA
I just did a Google search for "truck driving jobs near New Castle,PA" - it brings up a crap-load of listings

Try to go with a larger company on this - the small companies LOVE to run you so illegal that if the DOT catches you, you're flat out screwed
