Especially now with rates going through the roof, there are regular O/O's not making much less than that. Especially with loads leaving California paying so much. I lucked out this week and found high paying loads leaving and returning to CA.

As for this $14,000 per wk. It’s O/O, must also own the trailer. Probably a whole list of requirements, like both truck and trailer can’t be over X years old, truck and trailer set up a certain way, Owner cannot have truck and trailer paid off. O/O follow an assigned crew, you sleep in the truck on the well site if run out of hours(no traveling home allowed). For the money they claim, I bet it won’t come easy.

Why does everyone think $14k a week in the oilfield is so unattainable? Why do you think guys flock there when there’s a boom? Do you really think people were living in their trucks, or an RV if they were lucky enough to have a spot to park one, were doing it because it paid the same as OTR rates? That’s why the Bakken and the Permian Basin explode when there’s a boom. People go for the money.

Plenty of times I was stuck with a box during a prefill because the guy that operated the forklift ran off. Also the equipment you use to move the boxes sucks, those chassis constantly break. I asked a halliburton forklift operator that had been working them from the start and he told me they were just too long so they all cracked down the middle.Brettj3876, Doealex and joseph1853 Thank this. -
Those won't draw much power at all. 5,000 trucks all need batteries charged at the same time.
Or will it be Battery swap? Do you get someone else's damaged cracked pos batteries? Who does the swap? Same quality workmen that work at Love's?
Again, what will the facility be like? Room for thousands, and thousands of trucks all need batteries at the same time.
Fortunately you'll only be number 2,437 in line.
It's fantasy land. It's been at Disneyland for as long as I can remember and I'll be 56 soon.Linte_Loco, Doealex and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -

Some as high as 500 miles.
And they're on there way.
Some are taking pre-orders.
Have you not seen the commercials?
Semis are getting hydrogen power.
England had 3 trucks loading at the plant last year. -
When you're waiting in line for 36 hours to get the batteries charged or changed........is there a place to pee?
Doealex and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
At home. Pee all you want.
Charging done overnight.
On the road. Use 220v. Charge in 15 minutes. Should be peed out by then.
