    It's interesting to see how people in the other Patches do it, like up here in North Dakota,(I've been doing this for now 5 years now) we don't usually utilize a vent line unless the well in question is a known Sour Well. And generally Producers aren't too strict on their safety practices unless there's an actual Operation going on.

    I enjoyed the video. I purchased an Iveco 440 cabover truck that was a military tank hauler. The truck got lost and sat for many years in storage before I purchased it and it only has 30,000 miles on it. It’s a dual axle, leaf spring suspension, and equipped with lockers. It’s a very large truck and extremely heavy duty, even has a double frame. It has a small sleeper too.
    I have my CDL and was thinking about going to the oilfield and was considering buying a vacuum trailer. My truck is not equipped with a vacuum, but I am sure it would not be difficult to have one installed.
    Trump is saying that he is going to get America drilling again, so I am thinking if I can get 4-5 years, I would be good. My truck is paid for and I am not worried about selling it when I am done. I have my CDL, but don’t currently have my HazMat, but will get it.
    I wonder what your thoughts are about my plan.

  • @charlesjcadle

    When employers ask for “1year oil & field 2 years CDL.” How do they expect you to get the 1 year oil field experience? I am sorry if this has been asked before.

    So in order to get this job you need a cdl, right? Or is there a way to start off in a lower position, and then they can pay for the cdl test and let you use a truck for the test eventually? Im a tree worker climber, and i have plenty of experience driving international manual chip trucks just a few pounds under the cdl weight, along with a hauling a chipper or a long trailer with a mini dozer/grappling machine ( which i also have experience operating). I also have a petty theft felony from 6 years ago when I was down and out on drugs. Do these companies hire felons, and will my truck driving experience have any help towards getting me a job?

      @WeroLocoTrucking  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hope your doing well El Effe, so the volume really depends on how job is being billed, but 120 bbls is actually the normal haul volume. Load times depend on diameter of line going into tank facility. Usually a 4 inch line loads in about 12 to 15 min and a 3 inch line takes about 25 to 30 minutes.
