Nabors

I haul frac water and most companies pay like 16 an hour once u get the 6 months and a hazmat than i call haul crude and make 25 an hour.

 

what other companies can you mention pay that??

 

They require at least 18 months tanker experience for those positions, maybe more.

 

They say I can put in as much as 80-100 hrs a week, BS.

They kill you on the taxes and most of the time it is not worth the risk.

[h=3]CANADA DOT Penalties for Violating Hours of Service Rules[/h]

• Violations of these rules are considered very serious and would normally result in fines up to a maximum of $5,000 and the driver being declared out-of-service. Being declared out-of-service would remove the driver from the road until such time that he or she has obtained sufficient rest to bring them back into compliance with the Regulations. Furthermore, a motor carrier that permits its drivers to operate under a work-rest schedule that systemically permits non-compliance with the Regulations could also face severe sanctions, up to and including the loss of its licence to operate as an extra-provincial undertaking as well as fines up to a maximum of $25,000.

Hold on my buddy only has a year and a half and they are started him at that. I saw the paperwork with everything

 

If you are intrastate only the rules can be different.

The minute you cross a state line you have to be in compliance with the HOS rules in order to drive.

 

Texas = 12/15/70 with some exceptions

 

There are no exemptions to the federal HOS if

§ 350.341What specific variances from the FMCSRs are allowed for State laws and regulations governing motor carriers, CMV drivers, and CMVs engaged in intrastate commerce and not subject to Federal jurisdiction?
(a) A State may exempt a CMV from all or part of its laws or regulations applicable to intrastate commerce, provided that neither the GVW, GVWR, GCW, nor GCWR of the vehicle equals or exceeds 11,801 kg (26,001 lbs.).

However, a State may not exempt a CMV from such laws or regulations if the vehicle:

(1) Transports hazardous materials requiring a placard.
(2) Is designed or used to transport 16 or more people, including the driver.

(b) State laws and regulations applicable to intrastate commerce may not grant exemptions based upon the type of transportation being performed (e.g., for-hire, private, etc.).

(c) A State may retain those exemptions from its motor carrier safety laws and regulations that were in effect before April, 1988, are still in effect, and apply to specific industries operating in intrastate commerce.

(d) State laws and regulations applicable to intrastate commerce must not include exemptions based upon the distance a motor carrier or driver operates from the work reporting location. This prohibition does not apply to those exemptions already contained in the FMCSRs nor to the extension of the mileage radius exemption contained in 49 CFR 395.1(e) from 100 to 150 miles.

(e) Hours of service—State hours-of-service limitations applied to intrastate transportation may vary to the extent of allowing the following:

(1) A 12-hour driving limit, provided driving a CMV after having been on duty more than 16 hours is prohibited.
(2) Driving prohibitions for drivers who have been on duty 70 hours in 7 consecutive days or 80 hours in 8 consecutive days.

(f) Age of CMV driver—All CMV drivers must be at least 18 years of age

.(g) Grandfather clauses—States may provide grandfather clauses in their rules and regulations if such exemptions are uniform or in substantial harmony with the FMCSRs and provide an orderly transition to full regulatory adoption at a later date.(h) Driver qualifications:

 

Nice wall of text copy paste, but does it have a point?

As I said.. 12/15/70 with some exceptions such as if you are a property carrier you can only drive 11...

 

Then I stand corrected. My info is based on their posted requirements as of last July.
