Just wanting to see if anybody else is noticing a big hit in the water hauling category. I've heard of pay cuts, hour cuts, layoffs, etc. I had to quit my job (hated to) because we went from 60+ hours/wk to around 35. I'm going to go haul sand for awhile. Hopefully it will last more than a couple of months.

The eagle ford seems to still have a lot of work. I'm with Stevens and we are a lower paying company anyway, but I'm still at 60-65 hours per week and still making decent money.
I talked to a Louisiana liquid driver two weeks ago who said they cut his per diem in half and no longer hire at $21/hour and that's if they are even still hiring.
I was going to split for Halliburton around august of last year and I am so glad I stuck around with my current company. We don't have the best reputation but I enjoy the shift work and the weekends off.
Where are you located?

Water is definitely dying off for us. Got about 30 hours this week. They have put in some bids and I am praying we get them so we will have work. We really don't want to look for another job because we like where we are but something's got to give.
wtxiceman Thanks this. -
yeah it s definitively slow on my side as well. I don't know who got all the battery work, but it sure ain't us.
A lot of the big leases are all consolidated with pipeline now which doesn't really help either.
oh a side note, if you are outside and there is thunder coming stay away from any form or tank - Texas SWD burned to the ground last week after a lightning strike. -

Sand is very dead in S texas only the companies willing to drop rates tremendously. Companies r dropping left and right. Brand new trailers that ran for 70k-80k now are going for 40k. And its planning to take a bigger hit unless a war breaks out. Im currently doing sand and im looking for an out. Im a flo. Boy and im hearing alot of companies hiring tx cdl holders. I guess there planning for cut backs and know that oos drivers aint going for it. I would look for somewhere with options on loads. SAND BLOWS!!!

I'm back in pa but our rates are low. Lucky to do 45 to the house in a week. But it outweighs going otr.

There is a yard between midland and Odessa with between 40 and 50 drilling rigs stacked , derrick up... a steel forest.
no rigs, no fresh water or brine to haul: no frac , no pit to load , no pit to empty , no flowback.. (or very few of all those above) leave the batteries , which is not a whole lot for lots a truck , when they are not automated yet and when every companies around are fighting for it.
