    When someone says they will pay you a certain percentage after contractor fees what exactly are those made up of?

    Don't get involved with FLex Frac. We signed on and never were paid what we were told the job was to pay. I had to fight to get our money and then we had to pay 3% of the invoice to get our money on time. I have been told that the company is into a lot of illegal activities, which is just 2nd hand information, but it is heard from more that one individual. The company currently has several lawsuits against them.

    Vertex is the trucking side of Frac Tech........I heard they weren't paying fuel surcharge any more.

    Drivers rumor........verify verify verify.

    I know a few guys running as company hands there....they seem happy.

    Very possible.....I've done it as a sand hauler many weeks.

    It's not possible right now unless you're gonna go OTR sand hauling.

    I'm talking Panhandle, South Texas, Ok, Colorado, NM etc.

    The drought has the frac jobs all but shut down right now around D/FW.

    Very little work......we're not starving.......just real slow right now.

    We need some rain so we can resume steady work here.
