Billing $250 an hour. Not bad.
“...Billing $250 an hour. Not bad....”
Was in the oil/gas business....exclusively in the field; both pipeline & oil/gas treating facilities construction. Consulting engineering/construction manager for the entire region with over 40 years of hands-on experience and knew “the business” very well.
Keep in mind, the tons of OT, per diem and travel in that number too.
FWIW, in early 2012, I purchased a brand new Ram 3500 CTD and by the end of December that same year, I had almost 110,000 miles on her. My office was my truck...practically lived in it. Due to the need for reliability, I traded trucks every year.
But yeah, you got a fairly close estimate....a little bit high, closer to $210/hr billing and earned every penny of it. Like I said; away from home, out in the middle of nowhere and working dawn to dusk, 7days/week. Looking back on it, it was insane....LOL...but $100+/barrel oil (condensate) was like liquid gold at the time. They were depending solely on us to get it to market asap.
