Day work wireline pay vs plug and perf
I’m currently an operator at one of the major companies, making 22 an hour doing plug and perf, no ticket or stage bonus. Health insurance is good and 401k is decent, but the hours are long, I’m averaging about 110 a week on hitch. 14/7
I got an offer to move over to the day work side making 27 an hour, with a 3% ticket bonus on all jobs, 68 dollar a day per diem, but it’s more like 50-60 hour weeks. 14/7 also.
The day work job sounds like it could potentially be better, or at least close to what I’m making doing plug and perf now depending on how many jobs they do. Was just hoping to get some insight from some day work operators on how much they can typically make. Thanks!
