    I am debating if I should buy an old pneumatic tanker and start hauling frac sand. I am not used to the fee structure they pay $55 per hour....doesn't that get chewed up by fuel? If I average 45 mph and I get 6 mpg and fuel is 4.10 per gallon is about $30 just in fuel before you start adding in repairs, tires, insurance etc...Am I missing something??? I keep hearing there is good money to be had in hauling frac sand for the oil services companies....maybe I should stick with flatbed freight

    I know the company my dad works, they count $60 off per trip for renting their trailer. If having your own trailer, they would give $60 per trip. He avg 80-100 miles per trip.

    That's awful. Water trucks make at least $11,000 per week in PA and almost $20,000 per week in ND.
