Anyone have any info about any drilling rigs working out there and who to contact about a job? I'd like to work on a rig as a hand. Kinda getting tired of driving a truck. Halliburton wouldn't be bad working on a cement crew, but I don't want to lay all the pipe needed for Frac either. Please let me know. I've heard jobs are paying great up there. |

The Dowell shop was a 4-bay set up.....as I recall.......I only went into Flora once....in 83. The Bulk facility was behind the shop, as was normal for Dowell facilities nationwide. Flora had about 135 drivers when I went into Flora.....and about 60 when I left two days later. It was not a fun trip. |

They pay $18 an hour for rig hands here in Illinois right now so I'm sure it's much, much higher in ND. If Baker Hughes is paying guys $23 an hour for wireline services, you know the rough necks are making some serious money. I'm just getting tired with messing with all the crap truck drivers deal with. I know rough necking isn't going to be easier, but it might be just enough different to keep me interested. I did look at Baker Hughes website and they are hiring a wireline driver for around here so I might check into that. Winter here would have to be better than in ND! |
Nomak was advertising $27 an hour to start, they just had a job fair in Bismarck. Google "The Shopper" out Williston ND to see if their ad is still up.

Justruckin, I've been reading your posts and I would really like to pm you with some questions but I see no option to send you a pm on your profile page. Is there another way to pm you?

Hey Mike (Justruckin),
I've been looking for the past week for jobs up there. I've got almost 9 years driving experience with an X endorsement in all weather/terrain - even trained students on my own truck to drive for a bit. I'm 41, have no DUI/DWI's, no felonies, and a left turn infraction on my DMV, but I have no oil industry experience whatsoever. I just put an application in with Tesoro on Thursday or Friday, but haven't heard back from them. How hard would it be for me to get on with one of the heavyweights up there? I'm not looking for a "job" anymore. I've held them for the past 9 years, driving "jobs" are a dime a dozen - I'm looking for a career - something with the opportunity for advancement, retirement, the whole 9 yards. I know Halliburton and Baker Hughes are pretty good companies but I've scoured their website for "Driving" opportunities, hauling frac water, sand, crude, etc. and can't find a thing? What position titles should I be searching for? I understand you are an equipment operator =-> surely these aren't the only driving opportunities up there... Oh - and I couldn't figure out how to PM you with my number or I would have. Looking forward to your reply! Thanks, Tony |
Hi guys...Does anyone have any info on Nabors? Also.... What companies are running out of Baker, MT. My mother in law lives there and my wife is about fed up with California. So were starting to get things set to move up. Either Baker or Billings.
