The best advice was not sending your money home to your woman. I spent 6 years in ND and it ended in divorce right around the slow down Oilfield life is best for single men without families.

So its like being deployed but you're paid more and you don't get shot at? Sign me up lol

Went up to ND with my son, both of us were hired within 3 days, by the same company. This video was spot on. Spent 5 yrs up there. The people I worked with never did 72 hr weeks. 94 hours was a bad week for us. We averaged around 110 hrs and loved every minute of it. My company allowed me to work continuously without taking time off. They only required that i take 1 day off for every 30 days working. A lot if times they would forget and i never told them. I worked 1 whole year with no days off. At the end of the year, they made me take 7 days off. Worked with a great bunch of guys and we still stay in touch. 3 of my friends are still in the oilfields to this day. I spent most nights in oil fields and wondered sometimes if I could do it. Wouldn't trade this experience for anything. Loved ths oilfields. It's a brotherhood.

I've been deployed and seen to many times where guys are spoiling the girls back home and go home to an empty house so listen to him when it comes to women and money.

He's really thought this out well. No breaks, no pauses, no what do I say next. No wasted breath.

I got hired to be a floorhand in PA. I’m 25, single, no kids and already own a home. I’m really excited to get started learn and work my ass off! Grateful for this opportunity and excited to become even stronger

Edit: I start February 10th

This is my input as a rookie trucker in the NM TX oil fields.

I came in here with a plan to save money. Money is the priority. Theirs 3 goals i have to achieve.
Goals are (1 save up enough to buy a piece of land, i should have the cash by july) (2 give my mom 6 months worth of my money after i buy the land) (3. Would leave me at 2 years 3 months left and im gone to build my cob house south of the border)

1. I dont rent i sleep in the sleeper of the semi. 1230 days to go and im gone.
2. I will not have any relationship with another girl that requires me to spend money on her. And even if it meant having a future together. I work too much anyways and wouldnt be fair for another.
3. I hate it, but its a sacrifice worth doing for 1230 days left. I miss friends and family but this is serious money.
4. I drive a 97 4runner 4x4 (cost was 3, 000 and i aint upgrading cause shes been good to me and is all i need)
5. I keep a 250 food spending budget a month. I never pass it and its enough for me to eat out with friends 1 a week or buy a bag of pistachios and dried mangos once a week.
6. Im naturaly non materialistic, i focus on the important goals, the future i want and were i want to be is my DRIVE.

Its differnt if your working at the rigs. This is a truckers point of view. All i do is load sand, and then drop it off at the rigs.

When he mentions Nd has a little bit harsher winters than Texas I think we could say it’s dramatically harsher. Texas winter 40-50 degrees ND -60 windchill and -30 actual temperatures are common. It’s cold and miserable and really most people don’t last more than one winter or even a half of one.

I Live in midland Tx. Oilfield engineer in wireline. And yes, we do make 15k-30k plus a month. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND INVEST.

[nataliemiles]

My family owns oil rigs (work over) I’ve been working in the oilfield for years. We live our life in hitches. I’m married to a guy that works in ND. It’s hard work. It’s lonely. And yes the oilfield is a gamble but where we live you either farm or rig. It may crash but it always comes back. And there will ALWAYS be a need for crude. I wouldn’t trade my hot, sweaty, tattooed, steel toe boot wearing, sore body for anything.

When I was in north Dakota I was in tioga, ND making $38/hr, averaged 80-85 Hours a week plus 200 per diem. Making about 14-17k a month.... Oh man do I miss those glorious days. 💰💰💰

Shit ain't easy. Not mentally, emotionally, or physically. Shit ain't easy.

Worked for Sanjel Fort Lupton in the oilfields as a company driver hauling dry bulk cement and pumping it down the well for casing. Started me off at $102, 000 a year plus bonuses for every well we cased. I brought home around $15000+ a month working 15 days on and 6 days off.

I can and will agree with you, I've seen this happen daily to the rookies that join this industry. Live life fast and dangerously with no regards to their future. Be safe, enjoyed the vlog

I'm up here in MT, 21 years old came from Louisiana. Trying hard to get put on with a workover rig. No experience in the field but all I know is hard work. Super stoked to get my foot in the door.

[nathanheinrich]

Thank you brother recently moved to Texas and got an inside connect and this was really informative for really not knowing what to expect. I'm single with no family so I'm highly considering it

8:39 is so true. Never give someone full access to your money and monitor your account as often as you can.

My boyfriend is about to start working offshore and the last thing I’d do is use him while he’s away. I’m too good of a woman and he’s too smart for that!

[joegonzalez]

Man bro this really helped me out !! Been trying to get my foot in the door i got my first baby on the way ...andhave an opportunity coming up God willing everything goes according to planned 🙏🏽🇨🇱🤙🏾

[justinfay]

Im thinking i may go into entry level oil field for a year or two. Save the good money im making to invest in real estate and start my business

I worked for Lone Star Gas Co. 30 years '67-'97 and worked for the VP of onshore drilling operations for 20 years, wrote the daily drilling reports for 27 years. Would have liked to have visited a drilling operation at least once, have a lot of respect for those guys. The oil price collapse in the 80's was devastating for our company, was lucky to stay on until 1997. It was eerie how the downturn of 2016 so completely reflected the one in the 80's 30 years earlier.
