Offshore Oil Rig Jobs In Texas

Are there offshore oil rig jobs in Texas? Yes, of course there are. After all, Texas is one of the Gulf states and there is still plenty of offshore oil drilling going on. Unfortunately, this does not do you much good if you are not living in Houston or somewhere else nearby. That’s because most oil drilling companies with rigs off Texas have an office there (in Houston).

There are many job seekers looking for offshore oil rig jobs in Texas. Of course, most of those posting on the net are from out of the state or even out of the country. You can tell this from the way they write and the kinds of questions they ask. Many of them say they are willing to move and able to work hard. However, they say this while typing on a computer in their homes sitting on their asses. They want to get an offshore oil rig job in Texas before they are actually willing to move or even visit.

That’s just like a sissy, lacking guts and commitment. The ones who successfully get drilling rig jobs on offshore oil rigs are men with guts and commitment. They are men who go to where the work is and then look for jobs there, not sissies sitting on their arses begging for work on the web.

From the point of view of a job seeker, Texas, like every other Gulf state with oil in their waters, have two types of offshore oil rigs. The first is located near the shore and hire roustabouts and other crew by the day. That means you go to their recruiting point early in the morning and then try to get yourself chosen for that day’s oil crew. Usually, you will travel to and from the rig by boat. If you get hired, you will be doing general unskilled labor under supervision. It is not a career but is mainly a way of gaining experience. It is also a way of getting yourself noticed as a hard worker and team player as well as making friends with the supervisor (usually an experienced roustabout or a roughneck), hopefully getting a longer contract.

The second type of offshore oil rig is located farther away from shore. You will normally get there by helicopter because it is too far to go by boat. The tour of duty will normally be two weeks on and two weeks off, although there is an increasing number of tours with three weeks on and two weeks off. Basically, you do not get a break (i.e. no weekends) when you are on the offshore rig.

This kind of oil rig employment usually needs some form of related experience. That’s where the daily rate jobs really come in useful. However, if you are personable and lucky, you might be able to parlay experience on a land-based oil rig into a job. If you have not worked on an oil rig before but have marine experience, e.g. working on a trawler or as a Navy sailor, you should also have a chance.

But how do you do your oil rig job search? Simple. Go to the docks and talk to people. Find out where the day labor recruitment points are. Find out which offshore drilling companies are still operating their oil platforms in Texas waters then go visit their local office. Too shy to talk to strangers? What are you, a girl? If you don’t have the guts don’t ask to work in the oil industry.

If you want work on an oil rig off the shores of Texas, go to Houston. Be prepared to live in a cheap motel or even camp outdoors if need be. Buy the local papers to look for job advertisements but most importantly go to the docks and look for the day job recruitment points. Remember to also find out where the local offices of the oil drilling contractors are and go there to look for jobs.

Types of Driving Jobs

Types of Driving Jobs - Jobs In Trucking #serendipity_banner { background-image: url(/uploads/bgHeader.jpg); background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; } Skip to blog entries Skip to archive page Skip to left sidebar Skip to right sidebar
Home CDL Info How to Get Trucking Jobs Types of Trucking Jobs Types of Driving Jobs Jobs In Trucking Thursday, November 10. 2011 Types of Driving Jobs There are different types of driving jobs in the transportation industry, each requiring different levels of skill to handle each class of vehicle. Though advancements in technology in communication through cellular phones and the internet has made it possible for people to share information between one another without the need to physically transport themselves, it is still necessary for physical goods to be transported using motor vehicles. This is where the services of truck drivers come in, and it is still necessary to understand the different jobs that are available in this field, especially if a driver is interested in being part of the system.

These are some of the popular types of driving jobs:

Pick-up and Delivery (P&D)- Truck drivers operate heavy, medium or light trucks and work in pick-up and delivery or route-sales operations. The drivers have constant contact with customers. In most cases, it is required for the driver to have some skills in sales and marketing.
Hazardous Materials Drivers- This is a driving job that requires the transportation of materials that can be very dangerous if they are not properly handled. The driver will require additional training to be involved in this field. He is going to be taught the necessary things on how to properly handle the materials and what to do during emergency.
Long-Haul/Over the Road Drivers- This is a driving job that requires operating heavy trucks and driving for long periods, especially from one state to another or from one country to another country, especially in the case of between US and Canada. The job is very demanding, as a driver may be required to spend many days away from his home and family. To reduce the burden of being lonely, some drivers may even work in teams with a member of the family, such as his wife.
Specialized Trucking- This driving job requires a driver to handle trucks containing sensitive, oversized, or unusual items. It also involves traveling to long-distant locations. Some examples of the trucking are dry bulk carriers, auto carriers, (permitted) oversized and overweight loads, or triple and double trailers.
Construction Site Driving Job- This driving job requires the driver to handle big construction vehicles that are used on construction sites. He will be required to handle vehicles such as bulldozers, dump trucks, front loaders, backhoes/excavators and cranes. This job requires a special permit and training to handle the different materials that you will be moving from one location to another.

Many opportunities exist for truck drivers from small cities to big ones, and if a driver is doing his research properly, he will always come across different types of driving jobs that require the handling of different types of vehicles.

LTL (Less than Load) Trucking Jobs

LTL (Less than Load) Trucking Jobs - Jobs In Trucking #serendipity_banner { background-image: url(/uploads/bgHeader.jpg); background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; } Skip to blog entries Skip to archive page Skip to left sidebar Skip to right sidebar
Home CDL Info How to Get Trucking Jobs Types of Trucking Jobs LTL (Less than Load) Trucking Jobs Jobs In Trucking Thursday, November 10. 2011 LTL (Less than Load) Trucking Jobs If a driver is interested in the transportation of relatively small freight, he should apply for one of the different LTL truck driving jobs. These are jobs in which you will be transporting small packages of between 100 and 200 pounds each. Your responsibility is to collect those items from different locations or shipping companies and have everything consolidated onto trailers for linehaul to a hub terminal or delivering terminal where the freight is going to be further consolidated and sorted for additional linehauls.

LTL truck driving jobs are not too difficult to handle. In most cases, a driver will start the day by loading up and heading out for deliveries. After that, he will start again by making pickups after the trailer has been emptied. Most pickups are handled in the afternoon while the deliveries take place in the morning. The job is also very simple because the routes are predetermined for the day all many weeks, thus giving the driver an opportunity to develop a good relationship with other people with whom you work.

To qualify for LTL trucking jobs, a driver must meet several conditions:

He needs to have a commercial driver's license (CDL). This is a requirement of the law for handling such trucks needed to carry out the driver’s duties. To get the license, a driver must sit for a written exam and pass a driving test which will be carried out at the premises of the transport department.
A driver must also be of a sound mind and be able to read and write English because he will always be having contact with other people in signing documents and preparing reports for his employer.


One of the reasons why LTL trucking jobs are so popular is the great starting salary. The industry rate is about $17.61 per hour. With any of these jobs, the annual salary will certainly exceed $65,000 every year. That amount is excluding other bonuses, such as vacation and medical benefits which are available for a driver and his family. If a driver wants to earn more with a less than truckload job, it is important to choose the routes with many miles. This is because many companies will pay based on the miles covered.

As the drivers of less-than-truckload jobs are highly paid, drivers hunting for these jobs will always come across stiff competition. Many new drivers sometimes take up whatever route is assigned to them until they reach some senior levels where they can have some "powers" to determine how they want to work. At the same time, it is necessary to make sure that a driver is highly qualified for the job. This gives him an opportunity to have a lot of options that will increase his financial benefits and make the driver enjoy his job and lifestyle.

Bull Hauler Trucking Jobs

Bull Hauler Trucking Jobs - Jobs In Trucking #serendipity_banner { background-image: url(/uploads/bgHeader.jpg); background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; } Skip to blog entries Skip to archive page Skip to left sidebar Skip to right sidebar
Home CDL Info How to Get Trucking Jobs Types of Trucking Jobs Bull Hauler Trucking Jobs Jobs In Trucking Thursday, November 10. 2011 Bull Hauler Trucking Jobs A truck driver who transports livestock is classified to be a bull hauler. This type of truck driver must understand how to drive a truck that is specially designed to haul bulls, horses, and other types of livestock. A bull hauler must have a commercial driver’s license and all of the typical permits that are required of a truck driver. They are also required to be trained in how to handle and transport animals. A truck driver who is responsible to haul bulls should have experience in handling animals before he attempts to drive his truck without a partner.

The bull hauler average wage varies from state to state, but the average wage for bull hauler trucking jobs is approximately $18 per hour. Some states pay more while other states may pay less depending on the need for professional truck drivers to haul livestock. The wage of this specialized truck driver also varies in the Metropolitan Area. Most Metropolitan Areas pay a higher wage than a driver would receive in a small town. For instance, it is common in Chicago for these truck driving jobs to pay over $20 per hour. The wage of a bull hauler or any truck driver who deals with livestock is higher than a lot of trucking jobs because of the type of danger which is required. The dangers of this job provide the driver with the leverage needed to guarantee a solid paycheck.

The handling of livestock is a major aspect in the job of a bull hauler. The livestock that is taken to market must remain in good health or people all over the country would suffer. This is true not only in the United States, but in all nations. The livestock that we eat generally leaves the farms or ranches in terrific health, fattened up for human consumption, and it is the job of the driver to ensure the cattle arrive to their destination in the same condition. In this sense, the truck driver is considered to be the supervisor on a cattle drive.

On top of dealing with the animals, the bull hauler is also required to be capable of handling large trucks both on major highways and in busy cities. Due to the responsibility involved in this aspect, the driver should understand the inside and out of his truck and how to drive it. The bull hauler must have a commercial license that gives them the right to drive larger trucks, flatbeds, and other larger vehicles. Their ability to handle large trucks is vital because the driver is responsible for live animals. If the trucker is driving erratically, the animals could potentially become scared and hurt themselves. For the safety of the animals, they should stay in a calm environment and avoid getting sick while en route to their destination.

A bull hauler is a specialized truck driver who is required to understand every different aspect of the job. He must know about animal husbandry and know certain bits of information related to the animal’s health. The truck driver must also have passed his CDL exam, so it is necessary to go to a truck driver’s school to learn how to handle a large truck. Most truck driver schools will teach the new driver how to handle different types of semi-trucks and other smaller trucks. However, they will not teach the driver anything about how to take care of the animals. The bull hauler must attend a different type of school in order to learn about the livestock. A vast knowledge of the job is vital for this type of specialized truck driver, which allots to added responsibility and added pay in comparison to other CDL drivers.
