Well I Have Been in the oilfield ever since I could get a job I started out as roustabout work and from there got CDL at 21 and been driving since.
I tell you one thing, what you will make in the oilfield is twice as much as you will make compared to over the road company driver jobs.
Also, most of these local oilfield jobs you are mainly home every day depending on what you do. There are some jobs that require you to stay out for days or even weeks at a time but like I said depends what you get in too you can roughly make any where from Minimum as $40,000 a Year To $100,000 Plus A year depends on what kind of work.
Experience driving a Van Don't mean Nothing in the oilfield I will tell you that now. You are better off staring at the bottom driving a Vacuum Truck or a Hot Shot Driver. That would be the best unless you get with a Frac Company and they will pretty much teach you every thing.
They are always looking for new drivers it pays damn good but a lot of labor involved sometimes.
plus there is always room to grow in a company like.
There's plenty of work in oilfield you just have to Find Out what your Calling Is First.
