I’m 15 rn and am really interested in welding especially for rigs and this vid really helped me understand it more. Thank you 🙏 ❤💯
Yo I’m 14 finna turn 15 and working for a oil ridge is my dream and I’m working so hard to get there
@@ejk1008 good stuff dog, but the oil industry might not be the best thing anymore 💯
@@ejk1008 You do you tho bro good luck 🙏
Be a plumber, by the time you’re 21 everyone’s gonna be driving a Tesla but toilets will still be overflowing
Hey no problem bud! Glad I could help. And good for you starting so young, keep it up bud and you'll get there some day. Is there anything you wanting to learn right now?
I am not a welder but I am a union fitter and traveling opens up so many other opportunities if you pay attention and learn. Nuke work has change my life and hopefully set me up to retire at 55 and do what I want. Great video Sir
Best welding rig, is one that's paid off.
Best rig is one that’s reliable
Can you do a video about your accountant ? Maybe a money Monday ? How they charge, what they do, how much they save you, where to find a good one, split check vs contract?
I was lucky I worked for a power company that owned many power plants for 30 yrs. I was a high pressure pipe welder, made 6 figures, on the road a lot with Per diem.
How long did it take you to make 6 figures?
I feel like you watched Nacho libre right before you made this video lol
You nailed em all, although I always suggest to guys new to rig welding is to do your taxes quarterly until you get some money put up.
Keep up the work! I’ve been doing this with service truck and shop here for 40 years! Kent Smith Welding.
Thanks for sharing your work experiences wisdom.
Bout to go to Tulsa welding school and hopefully once I am done I’ll be able to do the same as you after I gain some experience. Glad I came across your video bc that’s the confidence I was needing bub. God bless
Which campus? I went to Tulsa and I can give you loads of tips as someone who entered the field from that school.
@@crazymuffinstv9024 I’m going to the Houston campus and would love some tips
@@crazymuffinstv9024 what’s good bro, I would also want some tips
Just bought myself a 6-12" beveler, short/long barrel torches, and a bunch of scrap pipe from the yard. Time to practice yesir
Thank you Jacob
Good info
Thank you for all of your insight. Look at your BoomNation
I love it!!!!
You got to save your money !!
No camper any more?
Good advice 👍
Good Stuff Jake 👍🏼
Jacob what do you think about Western Welding Academy?
🔥🔥
There's good money to be made doing sanitary also if you're willing to travel. I definitely do pretty well.
Sanitary as in waste?
@@aaronethier8502 no piping that food runs though is called sanitary tubing
Jake. “Only in The USofA”
What are the vehicle driving license categories in the USA? And ownership and operation of Oxy/acetylene.
I ask this as to drive these large heavy vehicles together with the all up weight one could not drive with only a “car” license,we in the UK and I recon in the European Community required a Heavy Good Vehicle License in addition to the car/ automobile. One requires a medical to get and a medical to keep the HGV license
Together at least a weeks driving course, a multichoice test and 1- 1.5 hrs driving test with an examiner. Can take up to 18 months to get through all the admissions & £1300 plus. O yes, there’s quite involved regulation controlling the ownership and use of Oxy/acetylene cylinders & cutting equipment. Also there’s a monthly cylinder rental. full or empty.
I don’t think we get away with Arc welding in a domestic driveway & parking lots without curtains around the arc & road works notices “Arc welding in progress- DANGER TO EYES”
And when all that’s done one requires an “HGV operators license” to cover maintenance records and the location/ facility of the yard the vehicle will be operated from.
We don't have to deal with any of that, we can drive anything on the road without air brakes under a normal license, heavy duty trucks like 5500s have a different weight class though so registration is more expensive.
As far as bottles we rent them from companies, it's not hard to do either
Hi i have plan to start rig welder To buy for rig truck which truck is good gasoline or diesel ??
Do i need to do an apprenticeship to be an oil rig welder? what do i have to do
Should of mention all the health risks
5th wheel may be your own place but those come with a monthly payment too for the most part when traveling for work…. So either way your paying for comfort 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I’m in hvac right now and considering getting into the welding trade. Just really don’t know where to start
I heard hvac makes a killing my brother was thinking of doing it
I’d start by learning about torching and oxyacetylene and O2 and how to set those up and the correct psi’s etc
Don’t forget to save money for your taxes if you are contract or 1099 a 1/4 what you make is good way to go about it.
Great tips and great guy right there folks
Where do you find contacts? Roadtech? Or somewhere else
Man most of mine are from word of mouth or me looking into an industry and finding contacts
How and where can you find job? Do you advertise?
Word of mouth
Being buddy buddy

Union rig welder here….. only taxed on income(pocket check) my rig pay and per diem untaxed……. Downside thanks to good ole Trumps tax plan…. I can not write off tool expenses or depreciate my rig or machine anymore….. it’s all 6 one way half dozen the other
Jake do you own a house?
No sir I rent one.
It always job to job luckily I work for my pops.....it can be a bitch cuz I'm his bitch most the time .lol.but there percs to
Sounds pretty shitty to me.
Might as well just get a CDL
If someone wants a steady pay check & get to travel
Keep your attention on the road!!
This video while driving would be enough evidence to be prosecuted !!
That cough is caused by Breathing Too much Welding smoke.
Not only taxes. You need to get paying into a pension.
Ask yourself “what age do I plan to retire” &” how long will I be healthy enough to physically be able to do this work “
No matter what you do you need to plan for retirement, also Medical benefits. A lot of people In our country like self employment not just rig welders, They want to be able to take care of themselves and be Indiduals, It goes back here an American thing for a lot of us. But true you gotta plan for future. Safety and Health gotta throw that in there , as they say "Safety 3rd"
