Conclusion
After going through this I guess there is the bit of confusion. If oil field trucking is so dangerous, then why do so many do it?
Perhaps some will do it for the excitement. Perhaps other will do it as a way to escape the nonsense of everyday life. But most will tell you, it’s for the pay.
Really why else would anyone put up with crappy working conditions? There is a reason why oil field trucking jobs pay well, that is because they know there are a lot of hardships and potential hazards associated with the job.
But as with anything, before you decide to do anything, research. Learn more about the industry and the oilfield trucking itself. Study up on the company you are planning to work for.
I would recommend going online and checking out the trucker unions, associations and truck driver forums to see what others have to say. You can also go online to the FMCSA’s website and check out their safety rating.
