Just trying to get the most bang for my buck with my CDL and hazmat endorsement been in and out of the oilfield 9 years .

Years back at Border Team I picked up in Odessa and delivered to a wind farm near Iraan "Irie-ann" Texas..

1/2 drive up cattle trails frrm the gate and of course No Dock or Ramp..

Forktruck threw up a pallet jack and at least the guys helped me

Got $150 bonus on that one...

............

At Dejnos you'll hump fuel pellets and animal shavings they pay ya a lousy "TWENTY BUCKS" for the fingerprint....

Only time I can recall a customer ever helping me during my year with em was at the Wisconsin Dairy Expo outside Madison..

Rest of places you were basically on your own and those Fuel Pellets are heavier than a SOB

I would ask others in the industry..

Was reading on Zero Hedge about lots of bankrupcies hitting the fracking industry and Chevron just wrote down something like ten billion but I believe that was gas fields..
