If I could afford the 3k+ and 6 weeks without pay to go through the CDL course I would love to snag one of those jobs.
There’s a problem with using WorkInTexas.com to find a job in the oilfield. The problem is finding out how to apply.
If I don’t live in the area where the job is, live in the area where I need to apply, or if my experiance doesn’t match perfectly with the job discription, it won’t tell me how to apply.
