Texas Oil field driving jobs.

Starcar is correct. There are a lot of different things you can get into - hauling water to drilling rigs, hauling crude oil to the pipeline, hauling drilling rigs and other BIG equipment - there are a lot of choices. The "Hot Shot" business is big out here (West Texas) too but it's kind of a "good ole boy" network and very competitive. As far as the terrain; nothing very tall or steep anywhere in Texas. Most of the "Permian Basin" where I live is flat as a table top.

Most companies want a couple years experience but the equipment out here is as varied as the type of work. But, from my perspective, once you learn how to use a clutch and a transmission...well...to me it's like riding a bike.

FYI - I'm looking into getting into hauling crude oil. I did it 30 years ago and made good money. Since, I've done other things but now considering getting my CDL again and going that rout.

It'll be interesting to see what you decide.
