The guy is telling the truth. I personally work with guys who work a 12 hour shift with a $400.00 per day guaranteed minimum.
Just returned from my Bakken "recon" trip

34/hr is what I think our crude drivrers MAX at, same for supervac. I think our water haulers max at 30 but most start in the 19-22 range. Company housing is not 800/month, I have no idea where you got that number from. I live in a company 2 bedroom apartment in Stanley, work out of Ross and pay 578/month. Only 1 other person in my apartment. Man camps run between 400-700 depending on which one you want to live in.

I graduated from SAGE CDL School in Ft Pierce FL on Nov.19th. Passed all tests (Pre-test, maneuvers and road test) on first try. Also had 97% classwork grade. 14 years of heavy equipment experience and lived 34 years in Nova Scotia, Canada with lots of snow driving and winter outdoor labor experience.
Would prefer a rotation that has 9-10 days off (30/10 or so) and live in truck (pay no rent and no commute to living facilities). That might be too much to ask for as a rookie. I'm open to any offers! -

You need drivers?

there is a trailer park in Halliday North Dakota that charges $450 a month all utilities included to park your RV or trailer.
in the winter time if you do not attach a propane bottle to your trailer they will tack on an extra hundred dollars a month assuming you are using electric heaters to heat your RV.
I would never work for an hourly rate unless they wanted to pay me $50 an hour.
working on percentage of a barrel rate is generally a more lucrative way of earning a living.
working for a company that limits you to 12 hour shifts is a good way to keep your income below the $100,000 a year mark.
one of my coworkers made $4000 last week hauling frac sand in Pennsylvania. -
VERY, VERY, VERY interesting thread. Thank you to the OP for starting it. I realize the Saudi's are playing games with the price of oil (places here in the Tampa Bay area have seen 2.55 a gallon) and I'm a few years behind the oil boom. I planned on finishing my training/one year experience and heading out that way as well. Might have to reconsider. I'll weigh my options in one year, but will keep my options open.

Could you point me in the direction of some companies hiring drivers hauling frac sand in PA? Looking to head down there at the end of the month. Really don't wanna head back to ND.
