Frac Sand in Texas O/O

i think alot of scams or fake jobs on indeed website exist. and other websites, check the site name if it's monster website or one of them job websites you can't really take what it says sreiously.

if it's the companies official website or something saying that. then you can take it more seriously.

i was looking at oil field jobs in north dakota figuring maybe better chances up there since less people would want to live in the cold weather means more opportunity possibly. so i saw nice offer on website about a job up there, they'd even pay for your housing aparrently like 1200 a month and you pay 400 a month, on top of that you was making a decent wage. so i thought cool.

so i did my own research that company doesn't even exist, not a real company, the job website is posting fake jobs with absurd claims of wages.

 

Sure, find a legit outfit. Go find where the frac sand guys take their breaks or park their trucks, go talk to them. Brady was big in ND, I think they have an outfit down your way. Good money as long as the drivers and O/Op's aren't idiots and lose the contract.

And you will need a blower on the truck. Should be easy to find in Waco area.

Oh, the money is real, but it can be a real crap shoot...

 

Yep, many fly by night outfits out there in the patch. Been there, and done that. You really need to hunt and peck around. My buddy worked for Taylor over in Ohio for a bit, they seemed OK, but they were new to that area and management sucked. But, I had a buddy in ND that did their tractor lease up there hauling crude and he loved it. Personally, I would look at hauling the crude, but that is just me. Crude is always there, frac sand is only running when wells are going in. Or, even water with a vacuum truck, those tanks on the sites still need to be drained, and that gig will be here forever.

 

A little bit more to it, but nothing you could not learn in a matter of hours. They make it sound like it is rocket science, but there are one to many morons out here that cannot tie their own shoes without assistance, and that is the real issue. You should be fine, it is just a matter of finding the right company. Trust me, if you find that company, the money is as advertised. I would do it, and I have the truck with the wet kit, HP and lift axle to pull it off. I just don't want to go back there, it is not an easy gig, and burnout is very real. Been there and done that.

 

Crap wages... I was doing $32 an hour hauling Propane and Butane up in ND, their equipment, + per diem ($45 a day) and housing. My buddy over at Taylor was doing around 8 grand a week, but you had to figure in lease and fuel at $4 + a gallon... And then the maintenance... That was hauling crude, some weeks were in the $10,000 plus range. Maybe give Taylor a call, they are based in TX.
