- For hazmat driver Ben Moorhead, a grueling workday starts at the crack of dawn. Here, he walks us through what it's like to transport oil for a living and the science involved in safely testing his precious cargo.

I worked with this dude and pulled oil along side him in the Bakken, good dude.
Sidney Mt. Alumni.. lol

God Bless you Truckers. You make my life so comfortable. Forgive me for taking you efforts for granted at times. Ill make sure to recognize more often.
The most easiest work I have ever done is crude oil I would work like 12 to 14 hours a day and go home at the end of the day beautiful Watford City North Dakota only problem is the winter 🥶🥶🥶🥶
I love winter
I love cold weather
It wouldn't be a problem for me
I worked in North Dakota hauling crude and frac sand after awhile.
I used to live in the truck.
24/7.
Worked 7 days a week most weeks. Hauled 3 loads a day every day I worked like clock work.
Made a small fortune while I was there.
The only way to make this crazy money out there is to live in the truck. Shower at truck stops , and eat out of hole in the walls.
I ended up being a saftey/ trainer when I left.
I would teach new people how not to kill themselves and not to spill oil.
It was fun but will burn you out fast unless you get in with the right people and have the right equipment.
You can do a full documentary just on the different companies out there.
Then another one on the types of trucks and what's good or bad for the area.
Then another documentery on the life style and living in the truck.
Lot and lots of new things happening there.
Exciting time to be alive and part of it if you ask me.
I'm glad I got a chance to work there. Good and bad lesson helped me be who I am today.
Gcal1956 can you post those?
@TheOneFromFuture still looking?
What do you consider a "small fortune"?..🤔.
@TheOneFromFuture Did you find that job you were looking for? Or still with Schneider?
@TheOneFromFuture Glad it worked out for you. I am a 40 year old Army guy, and will retire at the end of this year ( 20 year mark ). I ll give schenider bulk division a shot. I know Sn got that military program which they pay 1431$ ( va benefits) on top of my paycheck for 12 months.
Connections connections connections.
CDl slaves wanted
Hard work is what makes America go round but dont let these companies work you for every last dollar they can profit from.. you will be the richest person in the cemetery..
Right
Right, that's what I say, trucking industry is modern day slavery.
@@Sirhc2023 lol can we stop with that? Unless you've absolutely destroyed your driving record and burned every bridge imaginable, you can still quit bad jobs and apply for different ones
Life is too short to drink folgers.
you know? out of all the good coffees and roasts to choose from... he chose folgers lol
Hahahaha!!!!! Truth.
The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. Lol!
So he gets up at 2 to pick up his first load at 10?
Wiejeben the distance the have to travel is great. Not by over the road standards, but on roads that are in very very poor shape. Most can be traveled at 15-20 mph.
That's awful, I hope it's not permanent
Wiejeben I worked as a pipe line inspector and it was crazy how rough some of the roads were and my trucks kept breaking so I bought a Toyota Tacoma because I heard they were built like a brick and never broke a thing since 1998 and 690,000km
He won’t get three loads done in a day if it takes him that long to get to location
Oilfields are big places, i haul water and get 4-5 loads a day in 14 hours
3 loads in 12 hours for me, but when the wind is so strong and jackknifes your truck while driving it’s time to go home.
Holy cow. I remember that dude from when he was wearin nomex !
Sweet Job
Where do you get such training? I would like to haul crude oil.
Get a Class A CDL with Hazmat and Tanker endorsements then apply at trucking companies they teach you
Trey and oil companies too
very interesting
That's a lot of work hope you get paid good
He's hauling crude. They generally get paid a little better than a regular grain truck or water hauler,
Look like a Statoil site South West of Williston.
7 yrs OTR with tanker and hazmat endorsement but cant get a job as a crude hauler because i have 0 exp hauling tanker smh
Amado Espinoza that’s bullshit I got in after truck school and worked there for a year and a half. I’m going back there soon.
Russian SPY I’m about to get my CDL. Where or who can I talk to to get started in the oil fields? I’m a vet, with no kids and no life. I just want to commit, work hard and save.
Angel Omaña Schlumberger hiring in N. Dakota, Wyoming and Texas through staffing agencies. Drivers and frac
Eric Whitley thank you
@@xo2308
Just show up on any of those oil field places, with the right attitude and you'll be working asap...Look for a company who provides housing and even groceries..makes a big difference
On your check....
14 hrs ,you lucky dude I'm constantly jammed up at the offload
TONS of carbon.
why would u drink folgers? lol ..
14 hours a day is a light day Reese's cups and mtn dews you can run 48 hrs straight
This is what I wanna do when I turn 21 get cdl do this kinda trucking so I can come home everyday its like shift work
Do you have downs?
Colby Gravette you don't really want to do this. This is something you have to do as a last resort to make ends meet
@@elitestar have you done it?
well you prob wont be applying to oilfields first. 90% of them dont hire crude drivers until they are at least 23, with 2 years of CMV experience, most of them want tanker experience as well. if you do decide to become a driver, make sure you go to a school/company that has manual transmission trucks, or else you will have a restriction on your licence making it very hard to get jobs at other companies.
@@elitestar gtfoh
When you check your tires, you don't use your boot.
Oil work is greasy? Is it anything else?
It's not that greasy, he just doesn't separate his work space.
Not in Odessa Tx
You mean the shitshow?
Is it bad here in odessa brother?
I just got here to midland 2 months ago
Came here for work
Im driving a cement truck because i haven't been able to get a job in the oil field
J0eB¡den then made the economy go to 💩
I wish I only hauled for 14 hours a day. My days are more like 17 to 20 hours a day.
CanadaAtheist how's that
@asif3969 hes not bullshitting. I work as much as I want hauling frac sand
@asif3969 don't cry to me
@asif3969 🤣😜👍🏽. It's all good friend. I know what ya mean. Lol
@asif3969 besides I'm almost done with a 28 hour work day after I get to location. Im finding the first place I can to pull over n sleep
hazmat cargo truck
looks horrible, I would choose death if that was my only two options.
Not 14 hours ,18 to 22 hours...7 days a week...
That's why I came home...
Get that money
How? If you can only drive 14 hours every 24 hours.
@asif3969 pretty sure oilfield is exempt as they run mostly dirt roads and are usually within 150 miles. Id hope to be on eld as its safer for everybody but if you allow for cheating then corporates usually going to push you into it. But just leave and find a better company i say.
They run in a shorthaul mode. Most big carriers run elds tho. Just need record of duty (ROD) timecard and or paper log and or on board device
If you read my first reply..im a supporter of eld's
His earrings are so pretty girlie boy
Avion Mech you wouldn’t say that to him
OSHA regulations you can’t have those on location and shave that freaking girly beard gold T
off
H2S might be present on location
@@melonmalone6307 Depends where and who you work for. You can basically look like ZZtop while working in Oklahoma. Fact
Melón malone what certs you got kid
Can only drive 11 hours a day lol
Eld different out that way brother
@@Brandon-kp5to That's national federal
@@davecampbell1452
Bs

Crap company
job gone when we start using electric cars
You mean coal powered cars
Bs
You plug in the car! Where does the electricity come from??? Solar-NO... Wind-NO.. Either coal, natural gas or oil powered power plants!!! And look what a barrel of oil is used for besides diesel and gasoline... Jesus H Christ people are just idiots...
Without oil there is no plastic.
Bethanie steph
You still need lubricants for certain things.
Plus plastics could come oil.
Still will have job security!
That gay work hard
