Companies hiring in the Texas oil industry

This post is for anyone trying to get to Texas to take advantage of the opportunities in the oil industry.  Right now all of Texas is bustling with activity, it has been for some time now, and there is still more work to be done than there are men to do it.  Thus, people are relocating to Texas, but 

I chatted with @TnR4110 (Chad) on twitter a day or so ago.  He told me he was in the application process with Baker Hughes, but that he could use a list of more companies hiring CDL drivers for oilfield services.  So a landman-friend and I came up with this shortlist of companies that are big enough that they are constantly hiring CDL types, and who tend to pay their technicians well and take care of them.  Some of these are oil exploration and production companies, some are oilfield service companies.   My friend and I have concluded it's not really preferable to work for one type of company or the other, but that it is important to work your way up through whatever company you start with to get the less physically demanding and higher paying jobs.  Without further adieu:
