I worked there from 1986-2000.
Get your foot in the door and get to the batch/furnace/hot end as soon as possible. Usually everyone starts in the cold end, and it sucks, but if you can hold out and get a batch/furnace job that where the fun is.

I live in Inola and was working in Catoosa until a month ago. My last job moved me to second shift with no pay difference and made me run 2 cnc machines. I was only getting $18, other places paid a little more, but Catoosa was just convient. I finally quit and found a warehouse job in Tulsa paying $20, only a week later, half the work for more pay. So yea they are out there for sure, good luck!

Looking to leave my current job & need to try and make a better living & thinking I'll probably have to drive to the Tulsa area I'd need to make $20 or better an hour to make it work

I welded right out of highschool but that was 1996 so doubt I could pass a test these days without some serious practice. I have a class A CDL with every endorsement except hazmat and I've had it before. I honestly suck at pulling a trailer so I'd be best to stick to class b driving. My wife has some serious health issues or I'd go over the road but I can't leave her alone

Anywhere a guy can make that much starting out in the Tulsa area or am I sol?

Thanks in advance for your help if you have any suggestions

Gee I sure wish it was here in Idaho for you. Lots of jobs here with good pay. I wish you all the luck in the world at finding something.

Plenty of jobs in construction should get ya $20hr, if you’re skilled. Call every weld up steel building company in the area! Usually they stay busy and always need welders.

You’d need to be able to climb ladders and deal with the physical toll

Physical toll is the tough part. Ten years ago I could still climb around and weld. I can still weld but no climbing. I passed the Navy test in 1960. I used to do Stick, Heli Arc, Inner shield and Submerged Arc. Friend of mine makes a good living repairing farm equipment working out of New and Used tractor dealers business's and most work is freelance. Being that you are a former welder it will come back sooner than you think.

UPS should be hiring for the holidays. That would be a way to get your foot in the door for a permanent position.
