BS.
I know 4 roughnecks who are not on any contract and have bounced to 2 different companies over a 3 month period. North Dakota is looking for any and all willing to work in the field. Up side is good pay, down side is the wet season is almost over.
Hell Taco bell in williston? is paying $15.00 per to start. I have a 2-3 week old local paper from ND with job listings if needed.
My advice to not disclose you are gone in nov.
