A buddy of mine took a job on a frac crew down around Grand Junction, CO a couple years ago. They made all sorts of promises to get help, but when he got there nothing was what it was supposed to be. The pay was 8 bucks an hour less than they said. They were only working 40 hours, insted of 60 plus like they said. In three weeks he was on 7 different jobs, and never did get on a frac crew. He lived out of his car because they were so far away from anything resembeling a town.
I have never experinced oil field work, but from what I've heard its not that glamourous. Your just a number to them. But in these times, a job is a job and kinda hard to get. I'd give it a shot and see how it works for you. Good luck!

Thanks for the info JTL. You got me worried now lol. Ive got a decent steady job now i am just looking for a change. Id be pretty uh... let down if i moved to wyoming and had that type of situation to look forward to. Very good information. I was a little skeptical to begin with cause its a staffing service working for the company, so i know anything that they tell me can pretty much be taken with a grain of salt. Now i have no idea what to do ha. Thanks again for the honest answer.
