Please keep your eyes on the road. RR 33 S of Garden City, Texas...if you don't mind. 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. Shit no I said, I'm still alive ain't I? Idiot govt. mandates seatbelts in big rigs when most of the time you'd be better off to be "out" of it.

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.

Snow flake? you one of those that hates the truth of reality so you automatically need to say something negative? Yup sounds like a todays snow flake to me. The man was simply saying work hard and it pays get over it snow flake cause har workers of today consist of these idiot zombies that walk around with their phones attached to them all day

David De Jesus no need to justify to idiots like that. Work hard get payed well and play hard. I'm just about 30 years old now and have worked in the oil fields as a mechanic and make a lot of money. Some get jealous some envy but most won't work the hours or time away from family that I do. I love it and plan to leave it eventually. Take care

I had herd that felons can be truck drivers for expedited and that theirs a company (cr England I think?) That has a school that will take pretty much anyone who applies and you can either pay for the class or sign a contract to drive for them for a year and at the end of a year you can leave or drive for them still or drice for them and get a truck and they finance it for you. Any knowledge on this? Think I got the cr england name wrong but somethi g close to that.

Just discovered your channel and you have some great content. I got three questions for you, 1. Does hauling sand require a tanker endorsement? 2. Do you still run logs even if you just went that short distance? 3. On a scale from 1-10 10 being most likely, how likely is it for an 18 year old with a CDL to get a job hauling sand? Thanks.
@nickw900l
@nickw900l 6 жыл бұрын
Thank you. You do not need a tanker endorsement. Yes I run a log book because some days it will take me 14 hours to get done. If you don't run a log book you have to stay under 12 hours. It's probably going to be hard to find a job being 18, because most, if not all insurance companies will not insure you, sorry.

Nick I live in Houston and have been offered a job hauling sand for a Texas company. Would like to know more info about it from a driver who’s already doing it. How many loads are you able to do in a day when the weather is decent like it is in the video, how much $$ can a company driver make in a week on average, how demanding are your superiors, what are the tips that would come in handy for a driver who’s never hauled sand before, aside from the actual work how is life as a sand hauler different from OTR, etc thanks in advance

Every area is different, here in Wyoming the money is pretty good right now. The tough part about the job is your on call all the time. I’m not sure how it is in your area but where I’m at I haul two to three loads a day witch will average 10-14 hours then I’m off for 10 hours then I’m on call. We don’t really have a scheduled witch can be tough.

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?

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)
