    Here is a place you can start, WISE Services out of Greeley, CO. They are a water truck and hydro-vac company. I worked for them about 3 years out of their Mansfield, PA office driving and consulting. Great people and Some of the best people I have ever met in the G/O field.

    Class B with tanker and hazmat can get you in frac fueling and Colorado is really ramping up in that arena, specifically the Greeley area. There's good money to be made as long as you can deal with the horrible smell of the town up there. lol

    No he's not. I'm a Colorado native and even I cringe just thinking about the smell. It's an acquired taste that's for #### sure! Lol

    You gonna freeze your ### off up there too come winter. Boy howdy I won't kiss that this winter lol. Best of luck in your search.

    LOL Huge cattle slaughter town. Smells like N Ft Worth used to in it's hay day and they were butchering 1000s of cows, sheep, pigs a day. Night/day the smell of blood and death. But money to be made. Smell of oil is much better. Cactus TX has the same only on a smaller order.

    The work is in eastern colorado, many companies pulled out of western colorado over a year ago, to expensive to drill, compared to eastern colorado.
