To the OP, if you are working out of Williamsport and headed north on 15, the Turkey Ranch restaurant on rt 15 has really good food. Over on rt 14 on south side of Canton is a fuel station with truck parking and pretty good food. Also a mom and pop fuel station on 15 at Liberty. All these places have pretty good food but none have showers......pay was well above average until Schneider showed up and Shell got sick of paying demurrage...nowadays its like any other job, nothing special.

Either way......(definitely not with the orange) heading up Friday to get set-up then off to the fields Saturday...Guess what I was looking for and yet to get an answer too is...what can I expect as a paycheck on average....what is a bad check ....whats the best check you've seen vs the hours you put in....looking to get that kinda of info and overall lifestyle up there....

I would hope it's over $700 per week. But it's not unusual to stutter at the start as you're worked into the pre-existing schedule.
When I started at my place I was lucky to have 4 days on in a week, and my worst checks were under $400 for TWO weeks.
But I stuck with it and now I'm making much more now.
Also high turnover forced the boss to start offering time & a half O/T.
Which worked out well for me because I do a lot of work other drivers turn up their noses at.tobiasrook Thanks this. -

Why are you not saying who exactly it is you're working for? It's either RAM, W.W. Sell, Dana, Modern, Frac Tech, Cal-Frac, or one of the few independents leased on to those bigger companies. If you hauled water for frac you should have a good idea what you're getting in to. You're probably looking at an average of 15-20 an hour for demurrage pay, and anywhere from 23%-30% on the loads hauled.
Fracing in western PA is hit or miss, I think you'll see a transition into Ohio in the near future. I'm sure a lot will depend on who you're fracing for as well, Range, Chesapeake, Chevron? There's so many variables that no one can give you all the answers, go give it a shot and see what you think. I personally wouldn't want to be stuck in a truck for 2-3 weeks on a frac site in PA, but to each his own. -
I don't say who I signed on with simply because I don't want too.....I rather enjoy my life by doing what I want to not what other people think I should do....I by no means direct that as a disrespectful remark just a direct statement....

You might make most of your money from detention then. Hope it's a good enough rate.

I was hoping that with soooo many drivers that come to this site would have an idea...
