What kind of money are they paying these guys,to start?................


A guy walking in off the street with no experience starts at $19 an hour with full benefits. People who prove themselves competent and display a good work ethic get frequent raises. That same guy sticks around for a few years and becomes a supervisor, makes 150-180 grand a year with company pickup, phone, laptop. I don’t know of a whole lot of other jobs that can provide that with zero education beyond high school.



Work schedule? Vacation?....................

With this side of the business and natural gas prices being what they are, it’s pretty much a Monday through Friday gig. If and when it ever ramps up. 15 on 6 off, vacation is dependent upon years worked. Starts out at two weeks and tops out at six.
