Checking out their website. I'm curious, I see their requirements for trucking jobs, but what are their 'real world' requirements.



Do they have so many applicants that it's really competitive right now, or are they 'soft' on the number of years they require driving experience?

I think yoopr knows a thing or two about this. If he doesn't chime in, try PMing him.

RC..where are you located? If you live close to a HOWCO terminal, drop in and see what they have to say.

I never worked for "Big Red", but I was a Do-weller...and back in the late 70's-early 80's, most of the Oil Service Companies would haire anybody who was able to walk and chew gum, while still breathing.

Now, they are a little bit chosey. You have to be able to pass the background check..whether you want to work for HOWCO or KBR.
KBR requires you have your Passport in hand when you apply. If you like the idea of driving really fast in a slow truck...that isn't bullet proof...KBR has a job for you..in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Now seriously...the easiest why you will find out what Halliburton is requiring of a driver as far as abilities..call..stop in..talk to them.

You would definately be making some decent money..as long as the bubble doesn't pop. And have great bennies along with it.

I live in GA, I drove by haliburton once in texas, but that's about it hehe.

Thanks, I was going to 'have' to wait a year anyhow, so I have time. Maybe the jobs will die down, but the whole 'merc' industry is doing nothing but growing, there will be further opportunities down the road.

I would have to agree with you there. When I applied all they asked me was to have my CDL with Haz-mat and Tanker. I was all set to go till the first driver got his head chopped off. At that point I called and said I had a better offer that I was going to take. They asked me if I was sure and I said that I was the job I was taking was going to keep my head attached to my body.

That's no lie-Got down to -26f last night and we don't do Windchill :P

[GMAN]

Yoopr, you mean that it got so cold that the wind froze? :P

Some off hand info I heard is that they make you do a pt test for drivers. Now I know they have you do one for their civ-pol and security programs, but drivers to??
