When I'm training I get asked about %'s a lot. My answer is it's not relevant. ..All that matters to me is how much goes in the bank. I'm making $2-2,500 a week, with no housing costs. I'm not running super hard, 10-14 loads a week, and I'm happy with that. Some guys run harder. Some less. Gotta find the place where you fit in.
Leviathan Tube and Rodeorowdy Thank this. -
How is Brady trucking? do they require experience?
-
Experience: Generally yes but I have seen exceptions.
Usually military experience,
but one was a farm kid that grew up driving.
If you want a more specific answer, PM me.
All Military - but specifically combat and combat arms counts HUGE here.kiwi23 Thanks this. -
"How is Brady trucking?" It's a trucking company maybe better than most, good equipment, repairs get done and tires get replaced without argument. You ask for something ( a microwave, gloves or PPE.,) It gets done. Dispatchers are still dispatchers, loads usually fire up right when your planning something fun. The roads here suck plus This ain't a 8-5 job and Your expected to keep your truck and trailer reasonably clean. Most of the guys are pretty cool but we have a couple #####. It's a trucking company.

Sounds like a company worth waiting for (getting some experience first)! -
We lived in Farmington NM four years ago and now live in Vernal. My husband is a water hauler here. We really miss Farmington, can you tell us anything about working for Brady trucking there? Conditions, hours, pay, benefits?
-
Brady is HQ'd in Vernal so he could go visit their office and find out firsthand. I visited the Williston yard and was impressed by the office mngr., Op. Mngr, receptionist and the whole
facility.
May I ask what are the things you liked about living in Farmington, NM.?
thanks -
I've seen a few Brady Trucking FRAC sand trucks. Haven't heard anything bad about them
-
I haven't read the whole thread but I'll tell you what I know about the North Dakota operation.
Located in Williston, big plus, as opposed to a smaller town farther from Walmart, gyms, etc
Live in truck saves rent money, very nice common area for the drivers to share. I used to work for Tutle and Tutle (sand haulers) and their drivers area consists of four kitchen chairs in a shop in Minot which is too far from most of the action.
Nice, newer trucks with APUs.
I was told you get to determine your off time (like an oilfield rotation, going home for a week or so)
On the other hand, I did see them doing a job out on BIA 14 recently. When my company tried to do work out there we had a revolt.
I passed the physical with Brady. Passed the drug test. Then, they wanted me to do this stupid test where you squat down for 5 minutes and work a nut and bolt over your head. The fat physical therapist told me what to do but couldn't or wouldn't demonstrate it. I did it for about a minute and my legs were burning and I quit. Now, I'm 40 pounds over weight, but I run three miles in about 30 minutes- that is, I can and do run three miles... And, lift when I can which isn't often based on a sand hauling work schedule. I don't smoke. Plus, I already had 10 months of sand hauling experience so being able to do the job physically wasn't an issue.
I got tired of waiting for them to tell me what they were going to do with me so I went out and had some lunch. Now, both Brady and the clinic had my phone number. I got back to the clinic and waited some more and finally called Brady to ask what they were going to do with me. I was told because I left the decision had been made that they couldn't hire me- so, now I'm in high school again?
Anyway, that's my rant. Too bad, looked like a good set up except for the BIA 14 part. But, as I type, I'm in my man camp where I work for the competition.
There's a lot of stupidity out here in the oilfield. Brady might work out for you better than it did for me.
