Trying to find out about Oilfield trucking!

Each job pays differently per barrel. I talked to a guy yesterday that was getting $5.60 a barrel on a 125 mile run. I don't know how many barrels he hauled but he had a tanker and a pup so I would say 180-200 barrels. He owned the truck so he gets a full percentage minus the dispatch fee, I don't know what that might be. I don't know exactly how much your particular job pays since you don't have the info, but I would think as long as you can stay busy than 25% would be #### good. I assume you will be staying in the truck? I haul water and I make a base of 19-21% plus bonuses. I believe oil pays more, if it does than your 25% cut would be more. I've never hauled crude except short site to site transfers, but the guys I talk to that do say they make a minimum of $550-$650 on a really bad day (depending on who you ask), and if you believe them, their daily average is much more than that. Sorry I don't have more specific info for you but I've never hauled crude and I didn't ask what their percentage was, I just asked what they made in a day.

I supplied Baker Hugh's/BJ with diesel before refueling their pumps etc. Anyhow, I consider than to be a decent company when it comes to Fracing.

 

Wish I had know that; I would have sent some people there. I'm good though myself. I head to to Big Hal this Friday. Will take some pics and stuff for the road and when I get there lol... Where did they do the hiring? I'm thinking Bellevue?
