PA oil jobs

YGT9 - any idea what the different pay is for hauling water / sand etc... I'm trying to collect informatino on this for us and will share the result back with the board members. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GDB3JW7

 

from what i have seen in my area, if your new to trucking as I am starting pay for water hauling is about $16 and sand is about $12 per hour. the pay goes up if you have experiance and a lot of the sand hauling places will not hire you without 2 years experiance. I have been hauling water for about a month now and there is a lot of waiting to get loaded and unloaded but your paid hourly so its not that bad

 

I saw highland had an add in the paper today in Indiana PA, I noticed it linked you to KAG's website...

They always drove nice trucks but I hung out with a couple of those guys when I worked for Myers and they were making 14$ an hour...

I guess Myers just cut all of their drivers to 3 on and 3 off, that way they could eliminate all of their overtime pay and work the 2 shifts rotating and everyone gets right around 40 hours or less a week...

 

well after lots reading and searching think i found the right company for me. will be heading up to PA on the 23rd to work. lucky for me have friend that tested it out for last 6 months. since they was adding another truck i jumped in both feet. maybe will start a new tread but will have to see if have time. be nice for ppl thats interested in PA instead having to read ND/TX all the time lol.

 

What is it doing? I know of alot of the companies up here, even though I left the oil field I still keep my eyes open around me...

 

Its hauling sand for small company thats leased to frac tech.

 

I worked for Frac Tech. Be very very careful. Keep records of every minute you bill, or load you haul. From what I saw first hand they are not to be trusted.

 

Is it Vertex or High Country?

 

ygt9 - Why the difference in pay? Why pay you more for the water? Also - is OT available, if so - what do you get for OT? Are you getting double time?

 

yes you get OT. I dont know why the difference, thats just what the places I appied to said they where paying a fairly new CDL driver.
