    of course they did....dispatch tells me it's a hot load and I'm the only one that can handle it too.....still doesn't get me closer to the answer from people I am looking for ...

    If you do not have an answer then refrain from follow up questions.......:biggrin_25510:.....:biggrin_25526:

    I worked outta Williamsport back in 2011 for a while with an independent who leased on to a larger company. I was paid 30%. Most loads paid around 100 to 125 and demurrage was 18 an hour, capped at 15 hours per 24 hour period. On a good week I made 3200 and on a bad week I would make around 1100 if I worked at all. But being away for 2-3 weeks on end didn't sit well with the wife and kids.... Hope that helps

    Well, been in the fields for a few days now and I must say....not too bad....great guys helping with advice and tips....easy work, yet the hours are long to a point...ran hard for 2 days got worn out and told dispatch i was shutting down.....what got my respect was that he said "call me when u get up" not "hey fcker call me in 5 hrs"...they understand that we bust ### and give us ALOT of room to do our job safely....so far have 3 loads done in 2 days....keep u posted...

    What area are you working in? I worked in Washington/Allegheny county mostly. I've been gone for 6 months now and was just wondering how things are holding up in those areas if that's where you're at.

    Frac Tech opened up a sand yard off of 519 in 84 about the time I moved back to Florida, beat the heck out of running back to Greentree or McKee's Rocks.
