What do I do next? I need some advice...bad

That's your choice. But if you're not willing to bend on that, then I would recommend you get out the business. Because if the situation were reversed, they would not hesitate to sue you.

 

i think if i was in your situation i would look for a new company to lease onto hauling frac sand, you have already made the investment for the truck and the blower. from what i hear there is decent money in hauling sand.

 

I would advise them that your legal document "the lease" says 625 a week and you would highly suggest they refund your over payments.
Their financial bind is not your problem. ....Call a lawyer.

 

Sorry if I offended you. I still beleive in the legal system and I am willing to fight for what I beleive in. Good luck on your future endevours

 

Dot do it man!!! Don't go drive for ol' JB! They will suck you dry. Listen, you and I are in close to the same boat. Here's the deal. You have a truck and a blower, but no trailer, right? Well me two, except I have TWO trucks and TWO blowers, and NO trailers! That's aparently the hard part. There are plenty of frac sand jobs, you just have to know where to look. BUT in order to get one of these said jobs, you must have or lease your own trailer. And here's what I'm finding out. 1) Decent trailers can be found if you have the cash. 2) trailers for lease in Texas can be found. BUT you have to be in the right place at the right time. i.e. when the come avaliable. The key is to keep looking.

You sound like a hardworking, determined kinda guy. And I would really hate to see you just up and fold. Here are a few companies to call and research: Flex Frac Logistics, Trican, Tutle and Tutle (I am in the process of leasing on with them...if i can find two trailers for lease.), Vertex Solutions, Fazt Logistics, DnT.


I really hope that this helps you! And if you happen to find someone that has trailers for lease in Texas, please drop me a line.

 

If everyone I've talked to around Texas buys a sand trailer and goes to work those rates are bound to go in the crapper. Just my opinion but I know a few O/O around this state and I think everyone of them (me included) has at least mentioned doing it. I don't claim to be an expert in the frac sand field at all, just the opposite, but it sure seems like that market is getting a lot of players in it which is bound to push rates down. Just an example, I saw two Spirit trucks in Three Rivers pulling sand trailers. Guess they figured to park those vans and haul some sand while the getting was good.
