Well, I'm on day one of my research... and I'm only to the OB atm lol... My simple thought was that there are quite a few guys that do this around where I'm from... and they're all supposedly backlogged with orders for even up to 6 months or more. If SOMEONE made a real run at claiming the #1 spot and didn't do it on the side, then they may stand to make a hell of a living.
Seems if you were the price leader, and aimed for NEVER missed a scheduled job, then the only thing that would really matter is how much you have to market yourself and how far you're willing to travel.

If there is that much work around tho, it may be something to try. Especially if you could purchase a truck on the cheap.

as someone how as overseen hundreds of groundwater wells drilled, a good driller is a very rare thing. And you will never make much money drilling wells for the general public. The money comes from O&G field or environmental monitoring. These companies tend to require safety training, certain certificates, etc.
If it is just something you are looking to do for a side job to drill a few residential wells, maybe it could work, but I would think the upkeep for the rig and insurance wouldn't allow for much of a profit
