Questions about the Marcellus Shale water haulers?

No more AIM DoubleR? Where's life find you these days? I see AIM is looking for night shift guys here in Washington again, that's the 4th time in 7 months.

 

I see that penn mechanical is looking for winch truck drivers to do rig and equipment moves, probably be a darn good job.

I heard select pulled out of pa fot the most part...hated those select drivrrs, they hired too many new drivers they didnt have a clue or any class...

 

Nope, no more AIM. Was a nice nine year run but had to say goodbye. The account was going down hill fast. Life now finds me at C.A. Curtze Foodservice. They are based in Erie, PA. We park our trucks at Fyda. Run south of Downtown Pittsburgh. I am sure you will see me around the area, lol. I am much happier. Less stress, enjoy this type of foodservice, back to what I like, resturaunts(sp), and #### good pay and paid benifits, lol. The drivers are Teamsters.

Oh and those shifts have changed. Seems now that Talon has taken alot of the runs, the runs now start between 5am and noon. Still some nights runs but Talon put a hurt'n on the drivers. They took all the long runs and run them out of OK Grocery(Giant Eagle) in Crafton. AIM shuttles the loads to Crafton also now.

 

the FL dealer there off I79 below the 50mm?

If you ever see a black 379 short hood with "FTI" on the tanks give me a shout, I usually pull flatbed but may be doing more liquid here soon I was hounding that dispatcher today haha.

 

QC has two water terminals, Williamsport PA and Towanda PA. AVOID. They were originally a fleet leased to QC, and they operate under QC Energy and their own DOT number. They're done now...fleet owner filed bankruptcy, Towanda terminal has 1-2 trucks pulling mud from the pipeline directional drilling, and Williamsport has gotten a bad rep for paying poorly, not maintaining trucks, and generally being a crap operation.

I worked there. We had a good core group that was ruined by incompetent upper management, and the continual hiring of people McDonalds wouldn't touch. Shame, really...

 

I hauled water for Curry Supply and the hours are long.......money is good yet as they said....it will burn you out and no time for a life....Traffic is not to bad...the local police will and do inspect...prices are high for everything(Dandys)

 

Ceck with Chesapeake Energy and other like company they are the ones paying and yes its about 80hr but if they don't like or need you then good luck...they call in the load counts

 

Hi, I was working at a call center for a bank, and I spoke with an individual who said he was hauling water for a company in Colorado. He said they trained him on the CDL, provide the truck, pay him 20.00 an hour, and he just goes back and forth with water and all the hours and some you want. I am now unemployed, and wish, I would have jumped on this offer two years ago, any info in this? Stated it was for shale for making oil I believe. Stated it was a good ride to get water, and turn around and drop off. and they train

 

Don't waste your time hauling water in PA. Pay tops out around 20 per hour.
frac sand average weekly gross is around $2400 per week in PA

 

So far for the year..I've done 77K for the year and that's NOT busting my arse hauling sand...avg 3 weeks out 1 week home...my schedule not theirs..sometimes I do 4 weeks out....they don't push me and I go with the flow...steady work 98% of the time
