Thank you, but would you advice me to enter frac sand or stay OTR?
-
Too many variables.

Buy a good mini shop vac for your truck.
rabbiporkchop and Concorde Thank this. -
And pre-wraps for your engine air filter, and Cab Fresh panels for the HVAC's intake.
@Arkadelphia why are you thinking about switching from OTR freight to frac sand, and where are you based?rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -
Yes, I based in Columbus OH

If you have a ‘pavement queen’ of a truck, sell it and get a ‘work truck’ something that can tolerate gravel(if you’re lucky) lease roads(cow paths). If you are a ‘Felix Unger’ type of guy the oilfield is no place for you. Prepared to sweat your ### off, with dust flying all around you. Prepared to wait in line to unload, and wait, wait, wait, and wait some more. More than likely you will paid by the load, so waiting is the name of the game.
Zonno and rabbiporkchop Thank this. -
Don't expect a routine sleep schedule if you do frac sand.
Zonno Thanks this. -
Oh he'll have plenty of time to sleep while he's waiting on the staging pad.plater1, Zonno and rabbiporkchop Thank this.
