    Very busy around new town. I don’t haul it so no details, but I haul fuel in the patch and new town is definitely where I see the most sand trucks

    I second that. Very busy. I've had a few offers from companies that run up there. They seem highly motivated to get new drivers.

    I may need to go there to escape the cheap freight everywhere else.

    Just go in to the J in Gillette Wyoming, or ask the dude's in the parking lot there.

    I’ve noticed the sand market has been saturated with garbage owner operators lately.

    I try to avoid it like the plague because if you run sand you’re associated with “that” type of trucker….. the ones always hitting stuff, rolling trucks and putting trucks where they’re not supposed to.

    I don't know the name of the company. I found it on indeed or some other job board.

    CHEAP and oversaturated.The rates in ND should be a lot higher than what they currently are when you take into account the hourly rate of mechanic shops and lack of them as well,fuel,parts,housing,food,nasty winter driving,and pretty much everything else you can think of is overpriced.Forget about a road service in most parts of the Bakken or even a wrecker sometimes.Oklahoma last summer paid a lot better than ND and there was an over abundance of everything one might need and the state wasn’t price gouging but that chapter has closed due to the otr guys flooding that market as well.
    The pic below is of a sand plant (Potontoc) that I pulled out of Oklahoma last year and one would only wait about 30 minutes to an hour max to get loaded.Now its 4 hours minimum and the pic below taken last week was from a guy loading there and it took him 13 hours to get loaded.
