I worked in North Dakota hauling crude and frac sand after awhile. I used to live in the truck. 24/7. Worked 7 days a week most weeks. Hauled 3 loads a day every day I worked like clock work. Made a small fortune while I was there. The only way to make this crazy money out there is to live in the truck. Shower at truck stops , and eat out of hole in the walls. I ended up being a saftey/ trainer when I left. I would teach new people how not to kill themselves and not to spill oil. It was fun but will burn you out fast unless you get in with the right people and have the right equipment. You can do a full documentary just on the different companies out there. Then another one on the types of trucks and what's good or bad for the area. Then another documentery on the life style and living in the truck. Lot and lots of new things happening there. Exciting time to be alive and part of it if you ask me. I'm glad I got a chance to work there. Good and bad lesson helped me be who I am today.

well you prob wont be applying to oilfields first. 90% of them dont hire crude drivers until they are at least 23, with 2 years of CMV experience, most of them want tanker experience as well. if you do decide to become a driver, make sure you go to a school/company that has manual transmission trucks, or else you will have a restriction on your licence making it very hard to get jobs at other companies.

@asif3969 pretty sure oilfield is exempt as they run mostly dirt roads and are usually within 150 miles. Id hope to be on eld as its safer for everybody but if you allow for cheating then corporates usually going to push you into it. But just leave and find a better company i say.
