Truth About the Oilfield No One Will Tell You

[@corycarson88]

Enjoy your time with the family. I’m headed home to my family this upcoming weekend, it’s been 2 1/2 months I’m ready for some time off!!!

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

@Cory Carson Hell yeah man I bet! You enjoy your time off also! I will be enjoying my time off also!

[@rmhollin25]

Can you speak about the state taxes you have to pay, and where you sleep & shower at work. Ty

[@azielbordayo9735]

So true Man !! Great video! Keep it up 💯💯

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

For sure! Thanks for the support

[@eleffe5587]

Another solid video. If you are going to make big money, it usually ain't easy. Where do you sleep when you are not working? Are there facilities (shower & laundry) available at the yard for owner ops & drivers who stay in their trucks?

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

@El Effe absolutely, they provide a free man camp at the yard, it’s 3 or 4 men to a room with washer and dryer. To be honest I shower at the truck stop and it comes down to shower or sleep. As far as clothes go I only bring enough to get me through my hitch! I greatly appreciate your support on this channel!

[@ozzy_selfx614]

Been following & looking your UTube channel.. I appreciate your transparency and I’m looking forward joining the oilfield soon

[@ozzy_selfx614]

Looking forward newest video and what new company you will end up .. 😊

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

@Ozzy_Self X Still looking, new company was not at all what I had in mind, not enough hours and extremely slow paced.

[@ozzy_selfx614]

@@WeroLocoTrucking got ya.. ok will stay tuned ..

[@rollthedice54]

I'm interested in hauling oil/diesel. Thank you for your info on Oilfield Trucking.

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

That’s awesome man, they have a bunch of companies hiring, if there is anything I can do let me know!

[@bensanders7392]

You are incredibly rare out in the patch...the exception not the rule. You live in a real house....an actual site built/ foundation house it looks like....NOT a mancamp or an RV park. Looks like you are accompanied by your family/ people you love right there with you. That is an incredibly rare luxury not afforded to most folks out there. You are very blessed and fortunate in life.

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

While working in the oilfield I slept in my truck (semi truck) my house and family are 3.5 hours away in El Paso. I never went home every night, I’ve lived out of a camper or a man camp before.

[@101stairborne6]

Looks like El Paso 🤔 makes sense. Same here, but I work at a vac truck in Pecos

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

Awesome, my first job was for Zubeldia in Pecos.

[@staffaun5162]

I'm 28yrs old trying be a floorhand after working 7 yrs in the restaurant business located in San Antonio. Is it worth

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

@staffaun it’s worth it if your trying to make some money for something else, definitely not a long term job but if you wanna start your own business or invest in real estate something like that it’s perfect.

[@damion225]

Great information 🙏

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ryanjean9448]

I thought there would be better money in fluid hauling down there! $24\hr isn't as good as I thought it would be. Even 16 hrs a day is only like $400 ?! Up here in Canada we haven't had raises in 15 years and we're around $40/hr -$55/hr depending on location. Our dollar is worth less sits probably around $27-$40 per hour in American dollars. For some reason I always thought you guys did way better than us. At the end of the day it probably works out to the same, today's pay in 2024= Barley enough to survive. Even working 300+ hours per month like I do. I work 10 on 4 off and do 160 hours in those 10 days. We can legally drive 14 and be on shift 16 total.

[@rodneyhicks4670]

No better feeling than days off!!

[@Maniacskkinny]

So where you are backing your truck up is that where Ground technicians for Grounding and bonding work? For transfer of gasses and petroleum? I just got a call from J&A Services in watford city North dakota this will be my first time in the oil field any advice

[@juanovando89]

Im about to start frac sand hauling for detmar, any advice? Is it good money? In need of some pointers

[@nathansmith2845]

He told me what the video was going to be about for the first half of the video.

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

Thanks for watching 😉

[@maadii961]

Facts!!

[@TruckNgamin]

Please let me know anyone hiring around El Paso I just got my hazmat endorsements but no one is hiring it seems I have no tanker experience but I have been otr for about 2 years 6 months. I did drive some water buffalos when I was in the Army but it was not my MOS. I really got into trucking to do hazmat but figured I had to get some experience first before going into it and now I got my hazmat but no one is hiring or I might be looking at the wrong place. Please point me to the right direction if you can.

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

Apply at Nextier CNG, it’s oilfield thought 20 out 10 at home.

[@TruckNgamin]

@@WeroLocoTrucking Thank you man really appreciate that

[@werroloco3112]

Nice name bro

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

Lol 😂 you too!

[@jonathanking6546]

You still hauling water? I think it’s going to get busy with Trump’s drill, baby, drill. I have a truck that is capable and want to buy a trailer, but will rent until I can buy. I am willing to go to the work, and move if necessary. I have a CDL, truck and tanker endorsement. I am ready to work and sleep in my truck. I also have a second truck and driver. My second truck will need locking rear differential, which it doesn’t have yet.

[@mbekka1]

not worth it,, no thanks

[@Michael-ud5og]

You have done a good project sharing to outsiders the west Texas oilfield work but you have done the biggest injustice to the industry and wannabe workers by your misleading lies about the earnings

[@WeroLocoTrucking]

Excuse you, I have posted my earnings here on this platform and other places. Just because you have not done well doesn’t mean that other hard working people haven’t. I have been out here since 2014 through the good times and bad times.
