J&G are rock stars. Our on-site water tank sprung a leak and they came out at midnight to fix the problem. I thought they were coming the next day but they showed up at midnight! Fantastic company! ~Lynette
We work with J&G also. Totally agree with Justin, Jess and the Crew being the best out there. We will only work with J&G, when guards that were with other companies were not getting paid, J&G never missed a payday. Guarding is a good way to put back a good amount of money in a short time.
Yes, it is pretty awesome. Enough to have cheap health insurance and enough to travel. Let’s us put the money we had allocated for traveling back into investments. Winner, winner!
Not actually sure. Best advice is to check with the gate guard company to see if they have any minimum requirements. My experience is they try very hard to work with and accommodate each guard. Thanks for your question. Have a great day!
There are a lot of gates that are 12 hours. That is what you would want. I am on one at this moment. There 24 hour gates require 2 people because someone has to be on duty 24 hours a day.
That would be a question for the guard company. I do know that our license (level 2), we are not allowed to carry. There is a level 3 that is for firearm carry.
Very informative! I been thinking of how to relocate, Bout had enough of the NE. Being a single person, how hard would it be for someone like me to get in on the gate gaurd scene?
So sorry it took me so long to answer your question, but here we go. From what I understand, the single gates are limited so your best bet is to contact the gate companies to see how many single gates they have and how many openings they have. Other than that, it’s just getting your license and everything you would need, then pulling the trigger. Hope everything works out and good luck!
Yes, there are 12 hour gates. However, from what I have been told, there are not as many of them as the 24 hour gates. Best thing to do is to contact any of the gate companies and inquire about them.
We are really enjoying life. Traveling is something we always wanted to do. We will be back gate guarding hopefully in January to start our “sophomore” gig.
Lots of good information but please don’t wear the microphone on your collar part of the video was muffled then it went louder when you turned your head it was also harder to hear your wife Thanks
From what we have been told, each gate has a different pay based on activity or number of rigs. Plus, there is also the option of negotiating. The gate companies can clarify that much better.
It depends on each job. Some jobs are 24 hour gates that require 2 people. Other gates are 12 hours. The pay varies from job to job. On the 24 hour gates, a utility trailer with a generator, fuel, water tank and septic tank are provided and serviced by the security company. So basically your only expense is food and laundry. On the 12 hour gates, they could be for construction sites that need someone over night or during the day on a pipeline. There are many possibilities so the best thing is to contact the security company for a more definitive answer.

Awesome! We totally agree and look forward to our next assignment. Thanks for watching.
Pretty cool if you need to work, 4 months make enough to travel 8 months

Hi Natalie!
Great informative video. We are interested in doing this. What are some of the facebook pages for gate guarding ? Thank you.
We belong to Oil Field Gate Guards, Oilfield Gate Guard Information, and Bridgette is on Gate Guard Ladies. Thanks!
Do you work your 4 months in a row? How would companies feel about breaking it up a month to 6 weeks at a time?
Not actually sure. Best advice is to check with the gate guard company to see if they have any minimum requirements. My experience is they try very hard to work with and accommodate each guard. Thanks for your question. Have a great day!
Kitchen needs to be on the passenger side. Just my preference
As a single guy can i do th job? Very knowledgeable
There are a lot of gates that are 12 hours. That is what you would want. I am on one at this moment. There 24 hour gates require 2 people because someone has to be on duty 24 hours a day.
What’s the guard gate companies position on personal carry?
That would be a question for the guard company. I do know that our license (level 2), we are not allowed to carry. There is a level 3 that is for firearm carry.

Hope all is well
I’m so sorry! For some reason in missed your comment. Thanks for asking. We are awesome and currently on our next job with J&G. More to come later!
It’s Natalie who you know
Do they have a 12hour gate?
Yes, there are 12 hour gates. However, from what I have been told, there are not as many of them as the 24 hour gates. Best thing to do is to contact any of the gate companies and inquire about them.
How are you guys doing?
We are really enjoying life. Traveling is something we always wanted to do. We will be back gate guarding hopefully in January to start our “sophomore” gig.
how does it work if your by yourself? Are just on 24/7?
There are single gates out there that are 12 hour. Those are the ones for singles. Contact any of the gate companies for info on that. 👍👍👍
Was this your first time working shift work?
On a 24 hour a day job, yes.
Lots of good information but please don’t wear the microphone on your collar part of the video was muffled then it went louder when you turned your head it was also harder to hear your wife
Thanks
I did realize that. Thanks!
what is the compensation ?
From what we have been told, each gate has a different pay based on activity or number of rigs. Plus, there is also the option of negotiating. The gate companies can clarify that much better.
HOW MUCH DO EACH ONE OF YOU GET AND HOW MANY HOURS PER DAY ??
It depends on each job. Some jobs are 24 hour gates that require 2 people. Other gates are 12 hours. The pay varies from job to job.

My beautiful wife and I won’t do gate guarding again. Justin is great but illegal immigrants, drug smugglers not worth it.
