truck driver

Wyoming-Casing

My typical day would include, contacting all on my crew prior to the job. Meeting at the shop all tools are checked and paperwork is put in order. after driving to location, contact with the company man puts all duties to be preformed in order and understood. After allowing the rig to prepair for our rig up, all my tools (and stabbing board when necessary), are brought up to rig floor. After rigging up a Saftey Meeting is held and all casing duties are understood, with a high standard being placed on saftey. After all casing is run, and after waitiong for the Company Man to give the O.K. to rig down. The most difficult aspect of this job is that of being, to maintain and enforce on all my co-workers the need to be safe in all things and to watch out for there buddy. After rigging down, we return to the shop and to our homws and famlies.

I loved working Anchors out of the Dickinson Yard.  I was always busy until the boom slowed down.  It was then that I began to notice how the Nepotism took over.
Locals took care of their own and those of us that were in transition or relocation were put on the back burner.  All Management positions were occupied by locals.  I was there nearly 4 years and never rose above my pay grade.  There appears no room for advancement.
I also didn't like the way they handled unemployment.  Keeping you as an active employee but only working you 1 or 2 days a week,.. just enough to cover health insurance and negate any unemployment benefits.
The fact that there wasn't any training available was also disappointing.  The need for a CDL with this company is paramount but they offered no training.

This job is to difficult to explain plainly. Lets just say the job was manual labor, more or less depending on your title in the company. Usually the one in higher positions tend to slack off and have a sense of entitlement because the company shows no sense of equality. The job itself is fast paced at times, monotonous, dirty, work in all elements of weather. Each job could take anywhere from 3-100+ hours to do. Sleep is almost not guaranteed depending on the job expected duration, so sleep becomes a safety hazard. Depending on how busy the company and the position you hold in the company you can do back to back jobs. You never know when you will be home and hard to estimate when you will get called back in.

Would get tp the shop and prep trucks for the job at hand, fuel them up and set up bed of truck with right size equipment and tools rated for weight and size of pipe to be ran. Learned alot about running casing and how to manage a crew better. Management was pretty understanding for the most part when came to things that were out of control. Good overall.
Hardest part of the job was constantly teaching new hands about the job and safety being our first priority, as new employees would quit all the time. Most enjoyable part of the job would have to be the satisfaction of doing a hard long job and pulling through with confidence and no injuries. Being fast efficient and safe.

A typical day at Wyoming Casing would consist of: Show up to the shop, Receive information about the job you will be doing and get directions to the job site. Prepare the truck for the job, do a pre trip inspection before you leave, make sure you have all equipment and make sure it is working properly.
While working at Wyoming Casing I have learned a lot about drilling rigs and how all the different jobs are done. (Casing, Laydown and Clean And Drift)
I believe that the hardest part of this job are the long hours and the harsh climate conditions. The most enjoyable part about the job is that you learn something new everyday.

First off the schedule was horrible. On Call 24/7 which lead to little preparation before work and sometimes none. There are known cases where you would get back from one Job that you at for 36 hours and had to go straight to another job for 36 hours or more. A lot of politics and favorites were played here at Wyoming where one person could literally screw you over and your job there at Wyoming. The hardest part of the job was the people, the training which was little to none, it was more like throw ya in and see if you swim. also the hours where horrible.

I was the designated CDL driver to transport crew and oilfield pipe and equipment to the rig sites. We drilled the holes that oilrigs set up on. Some days we ran into rock or water while drilling, which added challenges. The crew members were great to work with. We had some very busy weeks; working 70 hours. Driving in a North Dakota winter keeps you on your toes because of the strong winds, snow, and ice. I enjoyed learning how things are done in the oilfield.

I enjoyed the time and experiences while working at Wyoming casing services. Working with different crews gave me some of the  the experience that I needed in working with others and maintaining good work ethics. I would recommend Wyoming casing services as a company and an employee to anyone willing to work and progress.

I would work for wyoming casing services again if the opportunity permitted itself.

Use to be the Perfect place to work. Loyal to employees, Management appreciation, the Best co-workers, Good pay, bonuses etc. Once owner retired and turned over management around '14 company went to sh** as far as employees are concerned. Now apsolutely Zero Loyalty to there employees with upper management having emphasis on the bottom dollar looking for anyway to add to their own bonuses.

Nice employees. Little to no advance notice of shifts. They expect you to be on call 24/7, work a 20 hour shift then be back to work another shift a few hours later. At times you're on location 59+ hours without being able to leave or go home. Not for people with families or kids.
