This was my crew. Frac operators in Alberta are on the road 220-280 days a year. You make great money but sacrifice basically your whole life to get it. Do it for 2-4 years, get your money and get out is my advice to anyone. 10 year employee
Any advice for a new guy getting into fracking
Where do you go afterwards?
With the Cement units in the background pulling out ready to do the real hard work 🫡😜
@@continentalmasters5432 don’t get into fracking get on drilling or workover you’ll learn way more
@@Ziggyzig213совершенно верно говориш. Сам немало научился в цементаже потом капитальный ремонт скважен подземный ремонт скважен гнкт в цементаже живеш практически на буровой потом ещё и начинаешь понимать грп что зачем и почему и нафига уже 14 лет в этой сфере. В грп в России получают на данный момент 1.5 тысяч долоров это посранению с вами копейки а в остальном ещё меньше. Так что вы ещё там в штатах и Канаде живёте кучеряво
I miss this sometimes , I was a blender tender and a pump operator for BJ Hughes in the early eighties . I miss swinging a sledge till someone yelled Iron ! Meaning it was ringing and tight. I also learned to handle an 18 wheeler and shift a 13 speed properly
greetings fellow blender tender
@@lj5673 , Thanks, Thanks for doing your part to keep U.S.A. energy independent . Stay safe and keep your tub level
You work hard for an hour or two with the rig in. Then the next 12, 16, 24 hours, 2 days 2 weeks, however long the frac takes. is pretty much standing around pushing buttons, and turning valves.
iblockpuncheswithmyface don't forget packing pump s sells between line Winer
Fueling was a not fun gig.
Badass video! Starting as an operator with Liberty in a couple of weeks. It’s a 2 and 2 schedule and you can work your days off.
what oil patch? I'm trying to find more openings
@@eriksoto8473 I’m in the Permian Basin. My company is out of midland. Currently in Carlsbad NM for my hitch. I’m working for Universal. There are many companies hiring though.
@@irvingfournier6479 how's that operator job going for you.
Irving how much they start for cdl experience
@@hammadbaheja1388 depending where you go bro. I’d say like $22 an hour starting pay. It’s the OT that gets you the good hours
I worked for Nowsco back in the day,which is trican today out of Whitecourt Alberta. It turns boys into men real fast or they go home.
Never have missed this!
Yeah worked out great for Trican in the lower 48.
I remember those days I work for Halliburton industries we did the same work in the oilfield loved it was always away from home an loved it travel everywhere
AWESOME!!!!! Loved this vid
The work is shit and the pay is nothing like what it used to be. Stay in school, get an education and work a normal job. The oil field has no future; especially in Alberta.
Lol it’s nothing like that really. You don’t sleep in the Tractors you go to a bed wether it’s a mancamp or hotel.. every night. At least for frac. Cement and all that is a different story.
And no one changes their coveralls 3x a day lmaooo you wear one and it dirty all day. And only change if you get wet and it’s cold
Lol, I'm in cement and yeah we get hotels if we're away from base assisting another base. But lots of napping between Jobs in the truck, cement keeps a guy on his toes.
never seen a female operator. That's a unicorn. they don't exist.
In fact, they do exist, I'm happy to report.
Trican Well Service Ltd.
Oh yeah I forgot. Quotas and human resources.
We have one on my crew!
I meant operator. As in, a hand that actually does something. Not walk around either with their hair up trying to mean mug and act like a dude to everybody or with their hair down trying to fuck every hand on the crew. While simultaneously doing nothing.
My operator (Girl) is awesome! Drives heavy vehicle logger, rigs all the tools in and out, lifts heavy shit & cleans them all back at the shop. She is awesome.
15 and 6 is terrible schedule unless you're a bachelor !
Beats 27 & 3!! Lol
Keane frac bought trican and now C&J and keane merged called Nextier Keane bought out C&J's debt
Sometimes when I am going down the highway I see trican
El gobierno ha hecho
Trican surely has the cleanest trucks
They are jokingly known as Trashcan but yes, have nice iron and a few old hands who used to work for them say they are a great company to work for.
His mama bought him a Tonka Truck when he little.Been obsessed with trucks eversince.....
I thought shift work at Suncor in Ft. McMurray in 1980 was bad. At least that was predictable. Definitely a young man's game at best.
I have interested
Hi friend how are you your video message very useful thank you very much God bless you friend
Any jobs in Midland?
What'd the pay like for operators and what are the long term prospects
Somebody can tell me how much is the pay for someone doesn't have experience equipment operator ??
when I started fracking with zero experience and no CDL it was 16.50hr but depending on the hours worked I would still sometimes bring home 2,000 dollars for 7 days worked
Nextier is still running them pumps
Trican trucks say Keane now?
Only in the states, they are still Trican in Canada.
You are learning how to drive in a cadillac. 2011 Kenworth T600 with the hightop and 18 speed
So, I mean, what’s the pay like? An average paycheck after tax? I’ve been driving in the patch for 7 years hauling crude oil etc. and I’ve been taking home $4,500 - $6,000 after tax every 2 weeks but that’s doing 16-18 hours a day every day. Is the pay similar to that?
It varies all over depending where you live, the size of your fracs, luck etc. You make more now than most of them do. Supervisors make 140-230 000 a year. Non supervisors range from 75- 160 000, varies a lot depending how big the jobs are you get put on
8 hour reset?
Yeah you can do that when you’re running oilfield exemption
I m a frac equipment operator at slb India
Gostei demas desse vídeo de vcs ai meu amigo de longe como vcs tabalha 🤗
really like it, I am SLB guy.
shit that aint mud its mud when you sink to your knees and after the frac a d9 drags the iron out roadside so you can break it down. busted airlines bent maxi cans strappin fuel tanks back on with chain and binders.
don't cha know
Good Job
I LOVE FRACKING!
I would love to come work for your company.Do you hire driver from Jamaica ?
were are you at
Head office is located in Calgary Alberta
we're the hell is your containment
waking up at 2am 3 am looking forward to work I miss fracking
CWC represent. That's my pump
If you don’t care about your friends or family you can become rich af especially if you’re single. My strategy was Tanker water hauling. Flat rates at no less then 25 % per load 30 % was gravy. But fuck reefer trucking can kiss my ass. The highest in demand division their is but also the most miserable. Gotta slide tandems and be great at back no fuck all that. Tanker was my favorite.
How many hours per day were you working?
Which is now kean frac. Trican was bought out a little while ago.
Never were bought out. They just sold their US stuff to Keane. They are a Canadian company and still going up there.
Dispatch- gotta load of sand for ya
Driver- cool where to?
Dispatch- up the Alaska Highway bucking horse frac site
Driver- where my loading?
Dispatch- Taylor load and go it’s hot
Driver- let’s go 🤓
working in the patch sucks, its a miserable life out there, not worth it
Its not for everyone but is a great way to learn skills, see the world & get paid $$$
do you need class A I have 5 years in Naber s wells
its very heavy work, and very hard, is better if to work in workshop like maybe
😊
Would like to do that kind of work
Trash can is more like it lol we clean up after them and boy do they make a mess
Wish they hired in the us
Bryan Eich they were bought out by Keane group
Y u puttin chains on steer tires?
In a really bad freezen weather you have no choice...even when steering wheels chained..not responding....ND winter 2014/15
In the muddy conditions when you’re driving off-road you’ll quickly realize that making corners and trying to turn your truck still continues going straight. The steering chains help with that
They are called Steering Chains
Come to Russian oil industry, bro. That is challenge... And a few words about female. Everybody knows they are not fit to complete a heavy job at oilfield ops
What does this company do
They frac' wells.

It's a steering chain. Keeps the frt end pointed in the right direction.
You’re a highway driver, I can tell

I never really liked frac!.... Cementing was my thing.Thats where real men work at! You didn't have luxury like catered meals,12 hour shifts...Hell sometimes you were up for two days at a Cementing job.This job ain't for no otr truck driver!We had quite a few that wouldn't make it due to not used to working in the South Texas heat!
Cementing LOL! Fucking losers
