getting started in the rig welding business

admin

alright so i have dreamed for years now to run my own welding rig successfully. I am finally to the point in my life i have my rig all set up and ready to roll. I also have two years of experience in a welding school called eastern wyoming college with a aa degree. I also have 2 years experience of boiler building and fab work. Now im ichin to run my rig full time i was just wondering if there were any guys on here that could give me a few pointers? or some help to get out there (never hurts to ask) and going im in the wyoming area and willing to travel but anything helps thanks

Reply:Go to Gillette and hit up Hettinger Welding, I worked for them when I had my rig truck, they are some good guys and will probably try to fit you in somewhere if they need people.oops, looks like they recently went bankrupt. Go to all the oilfield welding outfits you can find.Last edited by TimmyTIG; 01-06-2013 at 03:59 PM.
