I've spent a decade in this business. bullshite tolerance is directly proportional to the amount of money you're making.
If he's making that in per diem, it's probably going to be a rough project. (ie 7 days a week, etc). But it's really not that unheard of.
Edit: and good for him, too. When I graduated I went to work for a certain large company in BR. About a year in, I got told on a Tuesday I'd be leaving on Friday to north Texas for 6 months onsite on a project. (That was a fun conversation with Mrs Prez. ) I got $35/day in per diem, but company did pay the hotel bill.

I'm not in the biz so I'm ignorant here, but why is the company paying per diem if you are living in paid for trailers and hotels? That's the whole point of a per diem? Its not like there are Ruth's Chris in rural places either. Is it just because per diem is usually tax free and they can pay it as an added perk?
If you are in rural arkansas and get a large per diem with a free place to stay already, could the IRS not come back and audit that because that's a lot of money to spend on food in a rural location?
