Sitting at the end of the line with a load of concrete culverts on a drop deck dove tail trailer a "guy", I won't say who, but he was about 7'4" who got out of the truck he ran up on mine with and jerked his wheel at the last second so my cab and I weren't flattened by his W900KW with a sand frac trailer. I could have really done without that . OTOH, he didn't seem to really care although both rigs had to be hauled away as did I...in the ambulance. It was really fun strapped to a back board with a damned deputy sheriff talking non-stop while I was in agony. I still pay for it every day.. The giant truck driver is still probably running over other trucks with his ear pods in and his phone in hand. You gotta love that. DPS asked me did I have on my seatbelt.

NoHeater So I’m doing different work now. The water hauling got real cheap. There were plenty of companies willing to do the work for almost nothing. Now hauling sand in Wyoming it’s all about supply and demand. They are Fracing like crazy and there just isn’t enough truck around anymore. So the rates have gone back to what I was making in the boom (2006-2009). It’s definitely really good money but all you do is work.

+Jay Blond I have a W900. In the oil field any truck will work. I prefer a W900 or a Peterbult 379. They have less plastic and seem to hold up a lot longer.

Is that your truck or do they have their own trucks you use?
@nickw900l6 жыл бұрын
I own my truck. The company I work with does have trucks and company drivers though.

hey I got a question for you. I work on Frac locations like the one in your video. A sand hauler told me he gets $1500 per load of sand and try's to haul 2 loads a day. That sounds like a lot of money. Is that possible?
@nickw900l6 жыл бұрын
That sounds like a lot of money to me to. It pays good but I’ve never seen it pay that good.

I got a question brother what do you think about lease programs in the Frac sand industry after working for them for four years you pay off the truck
@guerrero141005 жыл бұрын
Is that I'm thinking of getting into it but not sure to go straight into the lease program or just go to Odessa and try it out but they pay with a 1099 see how the hauling frac industry is would you have any advice for me
@nickw900l5 жыл бұрын
I really don’t know much about a lease program, but you can make really good money but you want to be careful and not get over extended. The oil field work is up and down and I’ve seen a lot of guys buy a truck at the wrong time and go broke. I figure you have two good years possibly six (if trump gets re-elected)

Would have liked to see the sand from the silo into the truck don’t know if that’s possible seems cool though.

Just curious Why don’t they use end dump Trailers?
@nickw900l6 жыл бұрын
Because we are unloading it into a portable silo. Then they pull out what they need for the individual jobs.

Do you own the trailer also?
@nickw900l6 жыл бұрын
No, i owned a pneumatic trailer but sold it when I quit hauling sand in 2012 to start hauling water. I lease a trailer from the company that brokers me load.

Two spotters?! Dang, this sounds more corporate than a strict corporation.

They were more eye candy for the company than spotters. Just there to stop you when you’re far enough back.
