Hey Rob! Working at Mesquite, how was your relationship with your fam, wife, kids? I watch a lot of your videos and obviously you’re gone a lot of the time. Just wanted to see what your take was on this. Thanks! And much love from San Diego CA!
Buck jackson rd off 128 was one of the worst lease roads.. its alot better now that they black top that road. Don't forget to hang your boots on the fence:) Iv worked this area of menton/orla/pecos tx for the last 12 years now. Oilfield has been good to me. Thinking of finally moving bk home in AZ and hitch in and out.. your videos caught my attention on the vac truck...
Hi! Loco, i'm interested in this field, do you have any idea how to start ? my backgrownd is 22 years as a diesel mechanic and 6 years OTR as O/O with my own authority and all endorsments on my CDL but I got not idea how to start in the oil field
Nothing worse than always having to back up to a loading dock, or between two trailers with no extra room, when you're a newbie. Then add a van trailer. From what I hear, those small tanker trailers give much better visibility when backing. For the brief time that I lasted, over the road, while backing into a single space between trailers, I managed to get an overheated clutch alarm, on two separate occasions - on an automatic!
Question: I'm in Canada so it probably doesn't apply exactly the same...how difficult is it to get a job as a vacuum truck driver, hauling frac sand Or an oil hauler for someone with a CDL but no experience. I'm looking into getting a job and have been watching many of your videos for the past few days. Thanks for all the information, greatly appreciated.
I went up the 285 yesterday, had to wait for a little while in between Orla and Loving because of an accident. Got through it and kept on to Artesia. Then to top it off I got to enjoy some nice thick fog all the way back to Odessa 😂
I know its all dangerous, but i actually miss it...i wanna buy another truck and haul frac sand...my husband said OH HELL NO !!!!...will see...thanks for your videos...:)
Are lease roads DOT regulated?Also I lived in Midland Texas for two years and a truck driver I knew said oilfield were had alot of ups and downs and was less stable than OTR or even regional driving?
Yeah it’s very unstable, but you are paid more than OTR. To your question, no lease roads are not regulated, mostly because most lease roads are privately owned by land owners.
Thanks for what you do, man. Would you be willing to consult with me by phone or video call, for an hour or so, about the industry and the various positions available to a new CDL driver? I'd pay quite a bit for a half hour or an hour of your time.
No one really cares about what you think! If you feel like you have to be an ass in the comments, don’t watch. Oh by the way, thanks for the view. I still get paid even from people like you! 😊
