Basically....I am in the office next to the ops lead (plus he's a good friend)...and I work with mud hands every day....and I know which ones don't last. I am tired of watching these applicants come down from HR that have NO CHANCE of making it. Legally, I'm not the hiring guy....you can apply on-line (PM me for company info) and take yer chances....OR...you can send me a resume and if I think a person has a shot, I'll personally print it and walk it next door and you WILL get an interview. I have no interest in doing anything with anyone's personal info...I'm just looking for a few good guys that I believe will make it and hang around for a few years....make a go of it.

Don't laugh. I was on a sit-on job (on location 24/7 for 3 weeks at a time)....my own shack...with couch and 2 TV's. New company truck about every 2 yrs, 21/7 work sched with 3 weeks holidays....plus everyone ends up with 2 or 4 extra weeks off at spring break-up....fuel card, sub....

It's not bad.

My last two years in the field, all my rigs were out by Nordegg. I would hit the road at 4:30 am...pick up papers, coffee, graft in Rocky...be on the rig by 7....home by noon. Afternoons in the garage. Summers, I would roll my camper out that way and life was good.

Correct. I would say we have about 25% sit jobs/camp jobs. The rest are hotel jobs where you are checking one to three rigs a day and back to the hotel every night.

Edit: unless you actually live where the work is.
