    What I have gathered lots of these companies owe lots of people. They run high credit card balances, work everyone hard, and don't pay their bills.

    The big wheels are living like kings. They do it by not paying their bills. Equipment suppliers are running on credit to their suppliers, and the buyers are running on cred it etc, etc, etc.........

    I know I have been paid but my boss is an o/o. I have worked for him for a couple of years, I have never had a problem getting paid. But I don't know if he has. I know he has had trucks in the sand business for many years, but I think he saves his money. I wish ya'll the best of luck. My time off is nearly over and I am headed back out. Good luck

    Also, for those curious about flex frac (now Quicksand) stay away. It is not worth your time. We have two trucks running and after paying my drivers and fuel I had less than $500 for the week. Between waiting for loads and only getting short hauls(that you are expected to dead head to) you make nothing. We have even come out negative on runs because of gas. So beware. I am throwing money I don't have at the problem and trying to stick it out because I don't know that we can afford to switch companies again.

    You do realize that flex frac was the one that was shut down because they were allowing o/o to use stolen trailers. They got busted last year, I think. You really should consider moving companies. No matter what the cost. My boss moved his trucks nearly two months ago, at least we get loaded and run now. We aren't getting rich, but at least we are making ends meet again. Along with that, we don't have trucks being ran around us any longer. Now that we have an honest ops group, we actually get dispatched in order. Great thing to have folks that are honest with you. I can deal with that. My boss used to say that he knew when the old companys ops guys were lying, because every time their mouths opened it was a lie. Well good luck, I am off to work again.
