Often referred to as a "man camp", this short clip shows what the Walmart parking lot looks like during this oil boom. Shot at 6pm, it also shows how busy the main intersection is with trucks.

  • Hello from nebraska, I am a water tech level 2 been working a gov. job for the last two years are there jobs redally available for somone with my knowledge or exp. Let me know wingmaster1@live.com

  • @MrWingmaster1 Thanks for the comments. I do not have personal knowledge about this type of position, but with all the water treatment going on there I would have to think you would be able to find something. You might want to go the the JobsND site and get registered. Then you can look up the open positions available. It would give you somewhere to start asking the right people.

  • Do you folks know anything about M.B.I truking,they contacted me wanting to do a skype interview,i have haz.mat and tanker,clean record and have driven for 28 years,including offroad,maybe you know who is paying the most,i saw the tsa fingerprinting closed due to apointment issues.thx God bless.

  • @ctinton Hello there! Thanks for your comments. I have not personally heard of this company. I can say that Power Fuels is hiring, especially someone with your experience. As far as paying the most, I see that $30 an hour plus weekend, night, and holiday bonuses, on top of safety pay, is about the best. This is for an 80 hour week with five on and one off, plus a week off a month, if you want it. A big benefit is the housing, too. Not all companies provide that.

  • hi, my husband is interested in going to williston in feb. he doesn't have any expierence in the oilfield, are they hiring just for people with expierence or are they hiring any one

  • @mdhall80 The more specific the skills are, the more successful the job hunting. A huge problem is the housing and without a place to live, the job hunt can be very frustrating and that can certainly have an affect on landing a position. I have been hearing that right now there are jobs available, but maybe not the exact positions people want, so it might work out to take a job to get settled, then move up as word of mouth gets around.

  • Wonder where all those folks staying at walmart have gone? Thanks for sharing the experience of finding a job in North Dakota Oil Fields, it is not as easy as some think.

  • @mikeg420. Glad to see you leave. We don't need to get our shit together at all to accommodate vultures like you. Our town was just fine before you came along. Move along now...

  • @simoleverbs Yes, I have been hearing that hiring has definitely slowed down. There are so many problems with housing and the oil storage seems to be at capacity so production is slowed to work out the bottlenecks, it would seem.

  • @Imjenninsd This sounds like great news. I am actually sitting in the Williston Walmart parking lot right now.  If you can email me at mylvrental@gmail.com or message me I would love to get hired asap. Thanks for your help.

  • @mikeg420ification Thanks for the post. I am sitting in the Williston Walmart parking as I type this to you. I have been here for 5 days and submitting applications since monday. Did you have any luck with a job here? Prospects are seeming a little bleaker than I had hoped? Thanks and good luck.

  • @olsickracing72 Kelly its hard to find a place out there and if you do the rent is 1000 to 2000 a month for a 10 by 20 trailer. if you drive a truck you could sleep in that but restrooms are hard to get to . a camper will set u back about 1200 a month pulse util. good luck .

  • I just came back from 4 weeks of craziness in williston ND . the wall mart is full of campers and trucks . there is no where for them to go hope every one will be good to them and remember the people of ND and williston wanted this . there is no place to go eat. every one or place is full all the time and it is so hard to unwind after a18 hr day. WILLISTON please get ur shit together and accommodate all the people from out of town . THANK YOU NORTH DEKOTA for all the memories . PEACE OUT
