#trucking #oilfield #careerchange Just a quick update on what’s been going on since getting out of the truck and back into the oilfield as a Wireline Engineer
Bro thanks for the video I was hoping to see where you ended up. I was a water truck o/o in the fields but Covid shut us down now hauling for a dedicated customer I love the openness of the open road and freedom. Take care your videos were great!
Midland Hotshot coming at you. I kept up with your videos. I'm from Midland TX. Up until May I was OTR Hotshotin' for two years, with my own authority, 3 weeks out at a time. Truthfully you get used to sleeping in the back seat (only 5'9"). A little update, my two brother in laws past away in Feb-Mar less than 30 days apart so I left OTR and came back to be here for my wife and back to oilfield hotshot, leased on to a company FOR NOW. I revoked my authority but hopefully if I make enough good contacts I will reinstate it, stay in oilfield hotshot. Also got my broker authority while I was down for a month. Just because one door closes only means there is a better door you will open. I was a shooter on wireline a while back ago. Good luck keep updating. Peace ✌
Man so sorry to hear about your Bro-in-laws. That tough. I’m going to keep my authority active so I don’t loose the time on it when I go back in the truck.
I’m not sure if we are hiring here but if you look up cased hole Wireline jobs I’m sure you will not have an issue finding a job. Especially in west texas and with a cdl.
Man after watching this one I'm really hoping you made the right decision🙏 I'm getting into trucking for the same reason you did... money doesn't equal happiness. But I have to ask because in your other video you said the numbers were 25-30% over your company's gross but that doesn't seem realistic to me. I'm assuming you meant over net??
And I was being a little conservative lol. With the boom going on Wireline companies are offering crazy amounts to get qualified people through the door.
Hey man I don’t know where to start how d I get in contact with a recruiter in the oil fields I’m in Cali with not time to travel to Texas for a job fair

Thank you Andrew. I’ll still be posting videos of what I’m doing now and will definitely be back to trucking soon.
Glad to hear from you. Cant wait to see you in action
Thank you I’m going to try and figure out away to make it interesting. 😂
Glad to see you back on here
Thank you dale.

Thank for the video I for one am looking forward to seeing how it all works
Thank you John.
Are they hiring? I'm starting CDL school in October. Just wanna see if they would take someone on straight out of school.
I’m not sure if we are hiring here but if you look up cased hole Wireline jobs I’m sure you will not have an issue finding a job. Especially in west texas and with a cdl.

It’s realistic that’s why I decided to step back from trucking temporarily.
And I was being a little conservative lol. With the boom going on Wireline companies are offering crazy amounts to get qualified people through the door.
That's some crazy good money... i see why it was hard to turn down.
Would they have a place for a 71 year old with no oil field experience. Use to drive truck CDL. But most construction exp.
There’s a good chance with having a CDL in midland there all just looking for warm bodies right now. 😂 it is crazy busy over there right now.
Hey man I don’t know where to start how d I get in contact with a recruiter in the oil fields I’m in Cali with not time to travel to Texas for a job fair
Give me just a little and I’ll try and help you out with some contacts. Email at TxTruckinUp@gmail so I don’t forget.
With cdl
This will make you a shoe in.
Ok thanks I’m gonna email you
Get the money !
I’m going to try for a little bit. Lol
Midland: “If you were an oil rig, you’d be home now.”
That main camp is very “Stalag 13” looking.
It’s not that bad. Lol. The food is pretty bland though.
@@DosGringosRanch Camp food comes in two variety's.....'Epic'...and 'WTF was this before the doughroasters killed it?'
@@unhippy1 this place was nice but the food was definitely WTF. 😂
