I have been working in the oil fields for a while now, I know water hauling, its what iv done as long as iv been working in the oil fields. I have now purchased my own truck, I am in the process of getting it ready for work. being as the truck that i have purchased (freight liner fld 120 flattop) being as the truck was not already setup for oil field work i have the option to set it up for whatever i want to do with it. I have been recently thinking of possibly going to another area of oil field trucking besides water with the truck.
I don't own a trailer currently will be looking to lease a trailer, flatbeds are cheap compared to tankers or dirt trailers so if i decide to do fly ash or pipe ill probably go ahead and purchase a trailer, belly dumps seem to be cheaper than tanker trailers as far as i can see between new prices and used prices in the area. advantages so belly dump and flatbed are also that they do not require a wet kit for the truck.
I would like to hear from any owner operators that are hauling in various area of oilfield trucking and there experiences good and bad as a water hauler i know plenty of o/o water haulers and get to talk to some people on locations but sometimes its hard getting a honest answer about meany things from some of these people.
o/o in the nd oil feilds belly/side dump, water, crude, pipe, sand, fly ash
