    there was another thread on this very subject.

    and i think the consensus was we all weighed roughly 17k with full tanks.

    although the FL'S were about 1500 lighter if i remember right.

    i'd like to know what tractor you're running. LOL.

    cuz i weigh 32500 with a flatbed trailer.

    i think he was talking tractors only.

    course, the dump truck i was driving weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 26k.

    Perhaps the best way to find out would be to call those who placed the ad

    yes but I want to get it right before looking stoopid and as long as we are at it I actually did "job-search" work at Key Energy Services + I have been doing "research" to get ready so like I get there and it locks on a pas##ord issue .... duh .... I can generate extremely powerful pw's and as well store them in a manner that cannot be broken no matter what plus I have been using that one in dozens of places and none of them refused it .....

    sorry but that is screwed-up ...

    fact of matter is many applicants in my area of interest just show up at the yard and never try to do "online" ~ that was a second-tier candidate company but wanted to know in case I see it again - you are correct but I called Pioneer on another matter --> I was working my way through all the Manta listings for the town & work ..... when I got to Pioneer the girl who answered the phone was scared to even give me a mailing address....
