    If it was me, I would not look to work hauling sand. A better move might be to come to ND and haul water. I spoke to a guy ( he was applying to haul crude where I work) who went to work for Nuverra in January. No experience but they trained him and they had housing. They do not have any work, I think he is working 1-2 days a week, but that gave him some tank experience and a chance to have housing and check other local companies. Good luck.

    8 ball was in on hauling that concrete rock from glendive mt to dickensen nd last summer for knife river and i do know that project will be starting again soon .
    theres plenty of road rock to be hauled out there yet but you can bet that with the slowdown for oil field related hauling that haul rates for road rock along with wages to the drivers will be hacked down as low as they can get em .
    i know ag express outa billings will be looking for drivers in the bakken soon but they were only paying like 17 bucks an hr last summer which isnt worth the hassle of the bakken .
    not gona point out anyone but some of those rock hauling outfits in the bakken are notoriously hard to get your money out of .

    Yeah man I see them run around a good bit. I hear their % is high which is good but work is all helper pads. I see their equipment and its not the best but that's not today its not safe. I would rather have equipment that makes me money than some new deal that is broke if that's the case. If I were you ask if they have elogs and if they do ask if they have a personal line to drive on. Nothing worse than sitting at a well for 6 hours sleeping waiting your turn to blow off and then it takes 1.5 Hours or so if you have a long hose to blow off then you have to drive 5mins away to a truck stop and your elog makes you start your 10 hours over... Its a huge deal man. Get with paper logs if you can it is way more saferr that way. J
