Crude Hauling pay?

crude rules. water trucks spend all day cutting each others rates. Guardian, upt and others pay % plus benefits. I have hauled most of the oilfield stuff. Went owner op with crude and will never look back. Sand is crazy odd hours, water up and down. gravel for the pads pays pretty good. If you do some looking you cango owner op with a truck and wet kit for 10-15k. I did it for just under 10 on the first truck, then 12k on the second. Now comes the money truck, Cabovers forever! just reread your post. UPT has runs for company drivers or owner ops outta stillwater and Guthrie. Call Lee at UPT in OKC. Good luck!

 

plains is good money. slip seat, junk trucks. good dispatchers. Elk city is great or the new north lack. Hammond is great pay for night drivers

 

Local company charges 10k for wet kit, centrifuge, installed. Then they deduct it from your settlement in payments.

 

Well I got shoved to about $260 day .... dont aggravate the dispatcher (even if he deserved the talkin to) lol. This blows

 

I can confirm Arky's info...I'm in a different are but believe the same company.

In my area we are dispatched. I'm up to about $260-280/day average...that means some days I hit $300 and up and others are $200.

I can't seem to make it a whole week making over $300/day....something ALWAYS happens to mess it up! Usually something beyond my control.
I'm slip-seating but the other driver isn't driving so I'm doing 13-14 hour days.
I'm in another brand new truck....I just rolled the clock to 5k this week, I got it at 1.2k.

I'm working a 5/2-5/3 shift...so 5 on 2 off, 5 on 3 off...the off days are not split. i'm also one of the only night drivers...I volunteered. Less crappy drivers and I can haul ##### all night and have less wait at the unload stations.

I also have no support at night despite managements claims of being available 24/7.

Pay per load is tough to estimate for you...as generally you'll get around $45 per load and .50/mile so a short load may pay you $60 a longer load could be over $100.
Some guys like getting paid with barrels and others like me prefer miles. I do anywhere from 2-4 loads a day that are higher mileage...that means less messing with oil so I like that. Other drivers do 4-5 loads each day that are short.

Last week I had a day where I only did two loads but racked 530 miles...so that was >$340 for two loads...

 

which company ?

 

Also interested....

 

Sunoco...try Permian transport and trade.

Seems to me crude is great Owner Operator.

Sunoco won't really hire without experience.

If you write up a seriously awesome resume and cover letter,
Permian may hire you without crude experience.

Go into the office and ask for Jimmy.

Put in a year or two then go O/O.

I was going crude out of truck driving school without any experience

Got on fueling frac equipment making $140-$160k annual.

May go to crude after, but I think my job is banging as it is.
