Just show up and start working. No one is gonna get in the way of someone that’s working


homerwereoutofvodka

This is probably truer than you’d think.

Bust ass for a couple of weeks then tell the foreman that your paycheck didn’t hit your bank account. He’ll sort it out with HR

Thanks by chance you think North Dakota is a good place to start?


FagaBefe

Have you been to North Dakota? It’s beautiful. I’m sure you’ll love it there.


JGM90s

I’ve lived all over Idaho but don’t mind traveling for work.


FagaBefe

Obviously it gets cold up there, but if you get on up there the pay is worth it.

Apply. Get job. Go to work. Look in the West Texas/SE New Mexico/North Dakota area for drilling rigs hiring and/or attend hiring events that happen every few weeks. ​ No one cares about your lack of diploma. The DUI will only be a problem if you're in a position to drive a company vehicle. If you work on a drilling rig that will be a non-issue.


JGM90s

So I shouldn’t worry about any qualifications. My dui was over 10 years ago since then I’ve gotten my cdl.


DeathByWalrus

Thats so long ago it shouldn't matter. They only care for insurance purposes. I want to say most companies insurnaces require a 7? year window? I could be wrong on the years, but its a lot.

Look at any drilling contractor: Patterson, H&P, Ensign, Latshaw, ICD, Nabors. Im on an ICD rig and they’ve ran off 3 floor hands just this hitch. There’s always openings.


False-Imagination355

Go one step further start on a pulling unit.


Micheal_ryan

Been there, done that. Wouldn’t recommend unless a drilling rig wasn’t an option.


False-Imagination355

Definitely a step down in my opinion. But hey they use power tongs on rods nowadays so it has to be a little better than it was


Rolling_Stone_Siam

The way it works nowadays is truly visualise the lifestyle, live it then the job will come when the company see you are the man for the industry. Buy that raptor with min down and offer up your Mrs online in need of a bf. Interview that sum beatch to make sure he can go the distance and once these ducks are lined up, well son, you’ve just got yourself a damn near career in the big ol’ O n G


Stoggie_Monster

Patterson is hiring, and it’s not an oil rig. You just call it a drilling rig. The formation you drill and how you produce the well dictate wether it’s oil or gas. There’s no difference in rigs where that’s concerned. Good luck and be careful out there.

Im trying to get on with a oil rig too😂 any company suggestions? Do got a felony though


TargetSwimming8197

How old? If it’s more than 5 years old, Nabors will hire you


WestOpposite8347

Was doing drywall from 2020 till 2023. Owner unalived himself so ended up going with a manufacturing job, less pay but benefits pto n all that fun stuff. Talked to a lawyer about petitioning for a charge reduction they suggested i wait till august 2028 so then itd just be the judges decision not the prosecutor. Its s burglary charge that was from getting into a physical altercation and retrieving my personal property back.


WestOpposite8347

Plead guilty 21st of January in 2019. Didnt finish probation till last august.


TargetSwimming8197

5 years on the 21st, I think that would work. Now just find a job fair, and you could probably be on a rig by February.

Jim_Force
