Which company would you work for in North Dakota in the Bakken oil patch , Driving? work over?

I've not worked the Bakken and thus can't tell you much about who's best (or worst) to work for...except this: When it comes to the oilpatch, the best job you can get is with the first guy that will hire you. Once you're working, if that employer is a real pain, hey, from driving to workover roughneck work, hands talk.

My more recent endeavors (patch-wise) were in Colorado, and with a Colorado-only boss, so when it comes to North Dakota....

But heck, if you've got several offers, trust your gut. I know that works--but have never had that luxury (of being able to pick from several).

When it comes to driving, one good benchmark is always to check out their equipment. I personally favor heavily reinforced International tractors over any others for offroad work; others like Petes or even Macks....

Going back to the 80s for a moment: I found out enough about Halliburton the night before I interviewed to let me give enough of the right answers to get hired...did that by talking to a lady driver who happened to be washing her truck in the steam bay at their Glendive yard. If you can possibly get to Stanley and actually sniff around for even a day or so, bet you could get a pretty good feel for who are the big dogs and who are just...dogs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
