Well written. Yes, it has been my experience making more in West Texas, as long as I'm paid by the hour. These lease roads are too rough and the distance traveled was too long to make real money while being paid by the load. Again, this has been my experience. I actually experienced that working for Plains out here. I was thrilled when I was hired, think I finally made it to the "big time" as it's hard to beat Plains. Like I said though, being able to only get 2 loads a day because of reasons I mentioned wasn't bringing me home enough money. I told myself living in this area isn't worth it if the money wasn't there. So I left and said I would never come back. Well, here I am, back again.

I've worked south Texas out of Kenedy and Floresville, out of San Antonio and Houston as well as Lafayette in Louisiana. Of course I would rather be in a big city where you actually can have a life. My life is in Florida though, I just work in Texas and that will never change. I don't care for Texas at all. With that being said, I'm out here for the money and that's it. Living in the city and working in this business was costing me $1,000 a month minimum for living expenses, which defeats my purpose of being here. So finding a company that provides housing is key. Unless, like you, are looking to actually live in the area. So maybe San Antonio is right for you. For me, I'll take a 5-1 schedule, free housing and the 72 hours a week for as long as I can stomach this hell hole. Obviously I only am giving my opinion, from my experiences. In my three years out here I've done a lot of jumping around. I've worked in order with Nabors, Chalk Mountain, South C&C/Central Crude, K3, Plains, Dupre and Coastal Plains. I follow the money and have made some mistakes along the way. Where I'm at now, if things keep going at the current pace, I should expect to gross $8,900 a month. This will be slightly more than I've made previously, but with free housing. That is why I'm here, nothing else.

Not it sure why I went into detail about myself as no one really cares lol. Anyway, hope some of what I said may help someone in some way. Good luck to you all and keep us posted.
