- New to oilfield trucking, learn how to make $4000 a week driving semi trucks in the oilfield. It’s actually very easy to make 6 figures driving a truck in the oilfield. If your will to work hard and long hours the oilfield can change your way of life.
On my channel I strive to bring full transparency to the trucking industry. I will always tell it how it is. Remember always leave a comment I respond to every single comment on my channel!
12 years of hauling crude oil. 6 figures a year easy. Easy work, just a lot of hours. Home every day, 5/2 5/3 schedule.
It ain't easy in the ND cold winter or TX summer heat.
Absolutely! Thanks for your comment!
Where do u work?
@@norfillyson Pampa Tx.
@@sampson4685 what company in Pampa tx CP Energy or Mission Petroleum?
I just wanna thank you for making this video I been watching everybody they keep saying nonsense thanks for actually naming companies!
Just got hired on with one of them and you are spot on!
That’s awesome man, I hope it works out. If you need anything let me know!
@@WeroLocoTrucking Thanks I definitely will.
Ay bro where can I find Schlumberger application I bebe trying to apply but so hard to find there application
@@oacarc6032 i have phone numbers and emails man. First do you have a cdl with no restrictions?
@@LARRYLARRY704 yes I do .. but I don't have the tanker or hazmat endorsement
Yo brother, thank you for your service. I’m 2 weeks into my truck driving training on Ft. Bliss. I’ll be heading out your way into the oil fields when I get done. Maybe I’ll see you in EP or the oil fields. Great videos.
That’s awesome man! I didn’t know they had a truck driving school on Fort Bliss, that’s great though! Yeah man I’ll probably see you around somewhere, El Paso isn’t that big.
I’m in ep too going to ProPetro
@@parishj3how much they paying there
I was stationed at ft bliss 2012-13’. Fun times
cool vid and good explanations. Found it funny that you used to work at 9, as that is where I’m currently working. Keep posting and stay safe on those roads.
Very informative! Do the companies listed (Haliburton, Schlumberger, Liberty & Pro Petro) also service rigs like you do?.....hauling water and oil from producing wells? Or do they only work on creating new wells?
Also, your thumbnail game is on point!
Most of those companies have a cement section and a Frac section, the cement section will always service drilling rigs. They do not have vacuum trucks, they mostly just stimulate new wells!
I appreciate it trying to get these videos better for you guys!
You have a good knowledge thank you for the information I am a frac operator thinking to switch to cementing
@ maa dii Awesome man, I’d say make the switch to cement, the only hard part is rigging up, everything else is pretty simple.
@@WeroLocoTrucking I don’t mind physical work I am pretty sure is going to be way easier than rigging up fracking irons especially here in North Dakota 🥶
Another great informative video, I really like your videos! I agree with you about rather working in Texas than ND. I use to work in Watford, ND. Is west Texas flat?
@@codymoffatt1281 Flat as a pancake! It doesn't start getting hilly until you near IH-10.
@@perrybonney9090 Thank you for responding.
Excellent vid bro! Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for your support!
You are a knowledgeable young man. . That's awesome,
Very good explanation!
I spent 10 years pulling a Vac trailer in ND and did about every service type work that there was. it was very interesting and at times challenging ..loading water from the gas compressor stations was a bit scary .... money was obscene during the boom..if it was easy...everyone would do it !!
The reason not everyone does it is cuz most people won’t work more than 40 hours a week. They don’t wanna work the OT😂
@@londonwatson7342 far more difficult things to deal with in ND than just putting in the hours..if you wanna make bank in the oil field you can't just show up..ya gotta deliver.
@@londonwatson7342working 105 hours per week currently. To be fair I get paid for 15hrs daily am onsite for 12, back at the man camp in 20 minutes drinking beer. Most my day is in the AC watching Netflix or CZcams with one 5 minute water test per hour. Cake job, pay isn’t bad. Nearly 10k/month after taxes.
@@londonwatson7342plus you need to know what your doing
I ran water up in ND during the boom and after a few days I seen what , when , and how to move around the oilfields . I was averaging take home between $3-4000 weekly and had a couple atad over $6000 weeks and with that I would get a mentioning too not be doing that to often. The last 2 weeks working there I was driving around in a truck pulling a vac trailer "without a pump" making the same money hauling sail boat fuel from pits to disposals . Lol, what I wouldn't give to make a series for TV on how we ran and the things that took place during the days and nights up there! Lol it was a continuous neverending one had to be there to believe it party!
Hey man do you have an email or a number I could contact you? I would love to hear those stories about ND, sail fuel sounds like an easy job for the amount of pay you got right?
Which boom ?
Can i please talk to you about this?
?
Just last week at a rig put in 75 hrs in 4 days straight as a Vaccum tanker truck driver, made two loads and a washout at the end of shift and slept for 3 days on site 😉
Good stuff!
@@WeroLocoTrucking oh and forgot to mention I didnt go ready so I didn’t eat for the last 2 days since we couldn’t leave location, just part of the job
That sucks man, I used to order a box of MREs. Keep them under the bunk those things never go bad. Definitely saved my butt a few times.
A friend of mine is a safety officer in the ND oil fields is pushing me hard to go out there especially recently. I have the ability to almost go anywhere since I have an RV, but the question is where?
To be honest with you I’d say West Texas I’d rather deal with the heat than the frigid cold weather 🥶
@@WeroLocoTrucking I getcha, so far I've been hearing back from those companies up in WY, and ND with a couple of offers already, but the thing that is hurting me at the moment is my auto restriction.
@@falloutpictures hi, did you ever get hired with your auto restriction? I have that restriction. It could be helpful to know for the future.
@@adamholmes1992 I ended up turning the job down, I got a promotion where I am currently at and want to give it a shot before I decide to move onto the oil fields
@@falloutpictures good for you. I hope everything works out the way you want it to! I’m starting a new job in a different industry. I think it will work out, but if it doesn’t then I want to go into the oil field and use my CDL to do cement or something like that. But I have an auto restriction. Not sure how easy it is to get hired with that restriction. I do have tankers endorsement though. :)
I just came across your channel and got hooked with the great information you dished out. I am eager to get a job in Canada’s oil & gas industry. Please let me know what is the minimum qualification required, what tickets do I need to get. Please assist
It's not that I doubt these guys when they are talking about how much money you can make but a lot of the time they use the most extreme cases for the most money that can be made and really never speak to with the average person will be making which is usually the lowest amount you can make..
From what I have read and who I have spoken with...there is enough work that there are not enough consistently able operators to perform the hours due to shear exhaustion. So, if you have the gumption, I believe the hours are there to be had.
12-15 hrs in a desert with 0 signs telling which way to the rig or to load frac sand. Home each night is living in the truck, shower 3 times a week, sitting in line for 8 hrs to unload, 0 cell service. Lucky to make 800 wk.
Okay, that sounds miserable. General labor jobs pay more than that. Are you currently doing this work?
Good video
Do you ever see Rolfson Oil trucks?
Actually all the time! They service these drilling rigs close to where I’m working
@@WeroLocoTrucking that’s me! Hauling that red diesel!!!💪🏽
Wero Loco Trucking, thank you for your videos. I’m planing to move to TX to work in Oilfield… could you give any website to apply for. Thank you…
Hey, what's up, brother? I'm out here in California. I'm planning to move out there to Texas. How has been your experience so far ?
There's been some guys that I know in my area that have done work up there. Of course most of them are fresh out of high school and have no degrees.. and that was five or six years ago. Now it seems like you have to have 20 college degrees in be a professor to work up there.. I don't have a CDL I'm not against getting a CDL or certifications. The problem is I don't have high school diploma. And the local college that has a CDL course requires everyone to have a high school diploma to take their course and then pay them $12,000.. the other option is buy your own rig and go to the DMV and take a test. Both of those options are out of my price range.. I have lots and lots of experience and many different fields but no degrees 43 years old and I never thought I would need one. Growing up I I thought a high school diploma and multiple college degrees for just to prove to the world that you know a thing or two and you have braging rights.. which I'm not a pompous ass what's an inflated ego.. like that half the population United States.. so why the hell would an education or a certificate matter.. I'm in the world's full of ass wipe why do I need a piece of paper hanging on my wall saying I'm a trained monkey.. sorry I ramble.. I live in a city of a little over a hundred thousand people and I might talk to three people per week. But that's only because I went to a store and I had to talk to the checkout person. Not married no kids. Just trying to find ways to occupy my life until I die. Isn't that the point of life? Find something entertaining to do until your time to go the way of the dinosaurs. I get some people's aspects of having a family gives you something to work for and provide for. But to me having something like that always hold you back. From your full potential. Because there's some risks that you can take. And some of the jobs that I've done where there's a very good chance you're not going to walk away from it. And leading a family behind to go okay now what do we do. It just seems kind of cruel. So My philosophy is don't have a family don't have friends leave nothing and no one behind. When it's your time to go. Whenever that might be. As a part-time electrician I've dealt with high voltage that could easily vaporize a person faster than you can snap your fingers.. whether I'm welding above water or below it that has its own sets of hazards. Operating heavy equipment and skyscraper cranes. I've known a few people in my life that have been crushed. Are operating a crane 30 stories of above 80 storey building. I have survived drowning, electrocution, being burned,being blown up, falling off of a four-story building, heat exhaustion, the bends, basically suffocation. I was in our environment that had a probably 95% nitrogen atmosphere. No breathable air. I worked a place to pressure treats wood. 10 railroad cars at a time. Somebody hit the button to close the doors and nitrogen is used to purge the oxygen out of the air inside the very large tube.. you could say I have nine lives like a cat only problem is I think I've used about 30 of them. Somehow I'm still here. I'm cursed.. and I would love to work in the oil field. So maybe I can freeze to death.no wait I already tried that I grew up in ironwood and Marquette Michigan. And go swimming in lake Superior all year-round.. okay you have the background information so what I'm looking for as a job is either. On a basic level front end loader a road grader. Maintenance, electrician, welding.. hydro fluid pump mechanic. Basically when a pump explodes I have to rebuild it. I work maintenance shops most of my life on farms on big diesel mechanic shops and salvage yards. For really big 2500 room hotels and yeah we don't just walk around and change light bulbs there's a lot of things that you have to fix plumbing electrical walls structural. I've heard the food at some of the camps is to be desired but you can eat it.. I'm not sure I understand what that means.. I eat skunk once. It was for my survival training in upper Michigan it had been on the road for probably a week. I don't know how many times it was run over. It was cold so I didn't spoil. The annoying thing is the bones were all crushed into the meat.. so is the food up there more tolerable than that. If so I think I Will survive.
get your GED ....drop the anti-education attitude,,doors will open in the oilfield
Lower 48 at .60 cpm is 36.00 an hr
im a CDL A Holder, I've been hired by propetro, cant wait to start the new journey. thanks a lot for all these informations buddy.

Odessa, Midland, Pecos, Orla… and Carlsbad NM and Hobbs NM
@@WeroLocoTrucking is this type of work really hard on the equipment??
I haul methanol to well sites for $33 an hour in Alberta, Canada and Im home every night and don't have to work weekends but can for extra cash. I make 4k without working weekends
Congrats you just worked 121 hours that week
I was working with a friend he said he made 2500to2300 a week
I hold a CDL, w/ hazmat
More Im watching your stuff the more I am thinking about heading to the Southwest at least for a few years since Im in my 40s putting back money and finding out where I wanna wither up and die
I’ll tell you what El Paso isn’t really a bad place. Lol
Cheap housing and good Mexican Food!
@@WeroLocoTrucking but the damn heat
@@CynicallyObnoxious If you can't handle the heat go to ND same exact stuff as here in TX.
The ice would be worse. Your body acclimate the heat...but the cold will simply freeze your tendons.@@CynicallyObnoxious
[20x40=800]+[30x8=240]+[70x40=2800]= $3840…That’s for 120 hours, if the pay scale were just hours with time and a half and double time. I’m guessing the pay scale involves more than straight time pay, but I don’t know yet. Am I wrong?
Keep in mind no income taxes in Texas
It's all OT hours, the oil field has an exemption for well sites and resets etc, you can be clocking 22 1/2 hours a day as a cement operator, you aren't working that many hours per day but you're getting paid for that many hours.
Who can hook me up with a job?! I live in Dallas but willing to travel where ever works at!!
I have an RV and I'm willing to travel and work. I'm healthy athletic and willing, but I don't have a class A what's a good job to make a decent amount and where?
Thanks 😊
I’d say Fracking, they will hire you as a hand without a Class A. Or even water transfer companies!
Flow back is a good entry level job just don’t stay like a lot of us do lol😂
Hey wero do they hire someone fresh out of cdl school? I don’t want to get into a huge trucking company. I have no kids and have hella time on my hands , what would you recommend me to do? I have a spot where I’m at to get some experience as a local driver .
Did you find a company bro ?
What’s your thoughts coming in as a Frac Operator with CalFrac out in North Dakota? Any advice on what to expect pay and hour wise?
How to apply for a vacuum job
I got tons of Fracing & Cement experience.
I’d like to know where can I apply
Been mulling over moving into the field for a decade now. Honestly, I am afraid of the money. I got used to being poor, but man, I prefer working longer hours for bigger projects and better employers. You have inspiried me to take the time to change into an Aztec man; that is the best outfit in my neck of the desert.
If I have 1 year of experience driving, do you think I could get on with a service company ?
I have a question do I need to change my cdl to Texas or can I keep my California cdl and work in tx
will they give someone a chance with a DWI, and if possible, how long until after my DWI can i apply?
I miss that gator neck
Yes they are a necessity!
4000 every week is bs, he means every payday (2weeks)
Thanks for this information I honestly appreciate I have my cdL and tanker endorsement with hazmat I am from Houston Texas I have one month experience please sir how can I apply send me the link please I will appreciate it thanks
Where do you rent & how much do you pay?
What’s up man how much do get paid hourly?
Hey man I’m at $24 an hour right now at around 110 hours a week
@@WeroLocoTrucking that’s really good man, I live in Hobbs I’m at 19.50 around 100 hrs sometimes less sometimes more , i started at 17.50 last year but the company was the only one that let me on zero experience, Also being 20 years old it was harder to get in .
We mainly service Drilling Rigs not a lot of production
@@WeroLocoTrucking what’s overtime pay?

Just sent my resume
Ive been doing the math and i dont see how you could get 4k a week. If you could share paychecks or something to back up these claims that would be really cool man. I currently run owner op, just short runs 4 days a week and net around 2k a week after fuel etc. Trucks paid off, i wouldnt mind running frak as a oo and doing 100 plus hours a week but the math aint mathin
How do I apply?🎉

You can find those jobs on either indeed, Craigslist, or just by the company websites, Nextier and Indeca need drivers badly if you have a hazmat.

How labor intensive is truck driving in the oil field's?
Rico, it can be pretty intense or pretty chill it depends on the type of work your doing.
The only question I have is why you pronounce “cement” like “seamenT” instead of like a normal person saying “sehment”. :p
