    It can't be that busy. Did you ask any of the current drivers how it was? I left Midland late last fall because i spent so much time sitting.

    Yes, I'm still in contact with the drivers I worked with, especially out of the New Mexico area, it'll be better than what I'm doing now. Pay wise.
    They are saying they are still able to get in 3-5 loads a day.

    I can't vouch for the Odessa/Pecos area.

    I bet those 3 to 5 loads don't pay very well.

    We were at 35% per load, a plus is they have an rv for me there in Loving, NM, "free" at that.
    I should have never left 4 months ago.

    Ahhh faith ranch road... seemed like a lifetime ago. Fog mountain B was like a mile from the border and the road narrowed down to tracks lol, at least the pad was lit tho. I really do miss working in the oilfield. Making the good money and SA being only an hour away made for some good times.

    So I'm starting to see a lot of sand cans out and about in the eagle ford. I'm also seeing more oil and water trucks. Ads have been popping up on Craigslist looking for tanker drivers for the oilfields.

    Stevens tanker emailed me telling me I'm approved even tho I never re applied. Is anyone still out in the eagle ford seeing some movement worth jumping at?

    Ever been down Buck Jackson road? 16 years in the oilfield still hands one of the worst I've ever had the pleasure of driving down
