Well, they just ok'd the truck route for alternative roads around Williston, to be paved. I thought they had for Watford and Dickinson also. See Williston Herald yesterday. That may be an opportunity. Also, every well they drill has to be moved in and sit up. Check the various threads related to anything about wells, jobs etc. on this N.D. forum. And, lastly....there are lots of jobs, and your work background imo would be sought after. Check the jobs leads threads, lots of posted names of companies, start applying. Good luck, just start reading lots of good info, check the youtube videos re: oil field Williston, etc. on here also.This guy just moved up here, he might be willing to give you some advice, here is the name to his thread Rickydink update (Minot, Williston: apartment, rental, how much)

I have requested and been granted three days off as my wife is flying in from North Carolina tomorrow. Life has been grueling without the comforts of my lovely wife's domestic skills. That is changing soon as we have rented a new apartment here in Minot and will move in around the middle of March. I am going to assist a coworker in getting my current room from my great land lady. Still lots of great paying jobs and I expect that will only increase as better weather arrives. My Employer advertises on radio and billboards in Minot and Williston. A new shop is being planned for Dickinson too.
I can honestly say this is a adventurous life and I am enjoying it.
how is everyone??? Would really enjoy updates from the new and old folks. New jobs?? Job leads? Keep em coming....Laina....Have a safe trip..Glad about your Hubby's new job!!
I am still working lots of hours but did not get a pay increase at the end of the 90 days probation period. I am not alone and even the men with the longest time in the job (7 months) have not gotten an increase. I updated my resume and sent it out. I had two hits last week and interviewed for a better position this week. They said to expect an offer letter by Monday. Until I get the new job I must remain quiet about the employer.
My wife is enjoying our new apartment and it larger than our home in North Carolina and has new appliances. The weather has been very nice and the area is starting to green up. We spent Easter Sunday in Bismark and had a great meal at the Kobe Steakhouse. A luxury of the overtime hours I have put in. I also got my first bonus check today.
My wife has guardianship of her 8 year old granddaughter and has decided not to seek work until the child is back with her mother. She keeps me fit for work and takes care of Brynna.
As a military retiree I get free health care on Minot AFB. I saw my new Dr last week and picked up all my meds for zero.
My life is greatly improved by my decision and subsequent move to North Dakota. I encourage you all to take the leap of faith.

Even though you didn't get a raise yet I'd stay with Power Fuels. They are one of the MAJORS up here for trucking companies. I assume that is who you are working for.....
