Oilfield Trucking Jobs

Oilfield trucking jobs pay more than regular freight. It is more dangerous and depending on what you're driving, it may have a higher level of responsibility. Oilfield trucking companies have gotten more relaxed to the  truckers they hire due to high demand for drivers.

I would imagine, (I have never done it or researched it) That it is very different from hauling regular freight.  First of all some of types of equipment that you might pull are almost exclusive to oilfield trucking.

Where you live would have a huge impact on how often you would get home with most of these jobs.

 Oilfield Trucking Videos

There are a lot of truckers going out into the oilfield these days.  Mostly because they heard about the money 2nd hand but more commonly these days is because they can actually see footage of what the oilfield jobs lifestyle is like.

These are two YouTube truckers out in the oilfields whose videos that I have watched.  Maybe not be suitable for kids so be advised of that.  I didn't watch these particular videos of theirs that I chose. 

I chose them because of the title and some of the info I listen to on them.  They are long.  If you watch the entire videos, you'll learn a lot of information and insight beyond company driving.
