Thinking about buying a truck and trailer to either haul crude oil, or buy a truck and water trailer to haul water. Lots of activity down in the Eagle Ford. Anyone have any info on any of this? Money to be made? How much work availble? Which is more profitable to haul? Thanks for any info!

Look at craigslist northdakota/transportation jobs..
Its quite wonderfull there...I made 10k in one month, couldn't stay, gonna buy truck in couple years and perma work that region...all trucks make $135 and hour there..at least -
Drive water if bottom-line money is what you want. Drive oil if stable work is what you want.
I know guys making $13k/mo gross hauling water. I don't know even one making that hauling oil. But then, the water guys go balls-out for days and then sleep a whole day when the frac is over and theyre waiting for another call. Oil is better for older guys and those who haven't lived OTR. My two cents.
If you havent driven oil before, your firm may require you to haul water first anyway... depends on how desperate they are for bodies in the trucks. -
Hauling production water can be just as stable as hauling crude. Just have to get the well contract. Plus it doesn't freeze like fresh
