Hey guys, I've seen a lot of adds hiring for sand haulers in Midland Odessa area and in NM.
I used to haul water in the big lake area, doing otr now and wanting to go back. Clean record, 2+ years with license.
I'm looking for a smaller company, since it's the only one who will have what I'm looking for, all the main ones have elogs and only let you work 12 hours lol.
I want to work 24 hours (obviously not straight, I'm pretty sure you sleep with all that wait time lol). I don't mind living in the truck, I already do lol. Never done sand but I want to make sure I get paid stand by time, as I've seen with sand you get a lot of that. Are there any companies like that still around? I'm sure theyre hard to come by and you have to know someone to get in since I bet they don't advertise much.
Anyway, reply to me in a pm if you have any suggestions, for west Texas, nm, Oklahoma area.. thanks

Not many companies still paying demurge (stand by) time and the ones that do you will find out there are exceptions like it doesn't start for 24 hours or my personal favorite you sit in a truck stop for 30 hours empty (unpaid) and they only call you for a load when the well is already out of sand. You can still find hourly sand hauling jobs or you can just wait for the price of oil to come back up again if ever?
Dharok, rabbiporkchop and sushi boy Thank this. -
Ahhh so the grass is not that green lol... Might have to haul water then. -
Dharok Thanks this.

The guru's like $60 oil next year, that's enough to spur a restart. Apache just found 3 billion bbls West of Fort Stockton.
There's a lot of chatter and plans being made......keep your fingers crossed. -

Take a look at TCT. They are the only ones that I know of not running elogs. But they're not a training company. They might make an exception for the right driver. I haven't heard of companies not paying demurrage, so that's new to me. I know that, personally, they can go pound sand if they aren't going to pay me demurrage.
I also don't see sluggish oil prices for too much longer. Not since Trump won and has repeatedly vowed to remove most regulative restrictions on the energy (specifically oil) sector.Dharok Thanks this. -
I think most economists would argue that the current sad state of the oil industry isn't due to regulation, it's due to too much supply and too little demand. Yes, reducing regs will help the industry, but $40-$50 oil is probably too low to make non-convential plays profitable.

OPEC is announcing a cut in production. Don't know if that's going to help.
