Remember: Jim Cramer Reporting From the Bakken All Day Wednesday

CNBC will be reporting from the Bakken all day Wednesday, August 24, 2011.

On Amtrak today, between Seattle, Washington, and Chicago, Illinois, on the Empire Builder, I heard this conversation:
"If you have your CDL (commercial driver's license), you can get a job in Williston in fifteen minutes."

Fifteen minutes.

I overheard a similar conversation in McDonald's a few months ago: a roughneck was talking to a friend. He had arrived in Williston from Texas on Friday and by Monday he had a choice of roughneck jobs with several oil exploration companies, and he was looking at going with the "best" and the safest.
