    Hello. We just got done dealing with Flex Frac. A bit of history..... The other half was on a truck that was leased to Flex Frac. It was then sold to one of there dispatchers....... (I won't really deal with the dispatcher here, even though he turned out to be a bit crooked).

    Flex Frac appears to be a family held company. Many of those that work in the office appear to be linked with the family (the person that bought the truck is married to kin of the founder etc....).

    If you are looking at becoming a company driver...... There equipment is not always in the best of condition. There dispatch seems to be like most companies (dumbspatch with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing). Many of the folks were complaining that the pay was not great (including those owned by the one dispatcher).

    RUMOR IS: Flex Frac has there trucks parked due to DOT pulling there numbers (I guess authority). REPEAT..... This has not yet been confirmed.

    Personally, I would deal with another company.

    I just want to inform my truck drivers colleague, to please, please be careful with Quicksand Services in Fort Worth, TX. This company is a Frac Sand Hauler, they promise Owner Operators a $5,000 dollars sign-on Bonus, and that they are the pioneer in the frac sand transportation industry....What a Big Lie! From the company owner to the general manager All of them are dishonest, and heartless. They don't care what sacrifies all of this Owner Operator makes to buy a blower, to get a trailer and many, many other sacrifies just to start in this buissiness. They are forcing new Owner Operators to get in to Quick Sand Service Authority, so that way they can change the prices on the loads and the miles, and charge on many different things without disclosing upcoming charges to the new Owner Operator. On top of that the dispatch personnel is like a joke, they lie, they don't take their job professionally.
    I just finish talking to the wife of a Owner Operator who got Terminated last Thursday, just because he called dispatch to notified them that he was getting loaded in South Texas and it was taking more than 14 hours. The poor Owner Operator was just doing his job, communicating dispatch on what was going on, and dispatch got upset and blame the Owner Operator of not putting pressure on the well personnel. Is dispatch responsible to call the customer and ask if there is any technical issued or what is causig that major delayed? The Owner Operator wife went to the office and talked to Quick Sand General Manager, and he pulled out a long record allegating that there were toooomany incidents and accusing the Owner Operator of many things. When the wife asked him if there where a way to clarify all of those incidents and see if those belong to her husband, the manager called a guy name Scott who is the Safety Coordinator Manager and Scott clarify that those incidents did not belong to her husband. But, the manager still Terminated her husband, allegaing that they cannot loose everything they have for one person....I do not understand his reason, and she either.

    People complaints everyday of not receiving their weekly settlement on time. They lie about everything...Feel Sorry for their recruiter..I don't know how she is able to go to sleep everyday!!!! WHY DO YOU STILL HIRE WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH LOADS, AND ALMOST ALL OF YOUR TRUCKS ARE SITTING FOR DAYS...STOP HIRING AND PLAYING WITH ALL THOSE OWNER OPERATOR ILLUSIONS AND HARD WORK.
