In terms of a community link, this site is really cool. Lots of local stories, and done by independent media. Some great aerial photos. It's a bit more varied than a lot of coverage you see on the Bakken:

Black Gold Boom

Also, for anybody contemplating trucking jobs, I recommend you read these threads from start to finish:

Jobs in ND Oil Patch
So you want to haul crude oil in the badlands of ND?

And this is a general guide to employment in the Bakken:

A Guide to North Dakota Oil Jobs

And here's the Snopes entry on the Bakken, which is good for dispelling some of the myths about the formation.

I see a few new folks asking after oil field jobs. Hoping this thread gives them a running start. Don't forget to check the many other informative threads in both North Dakota and Williston forums. Good luck on your job searches.
