    I was wondering about flatbed hauling. It's what I do. I hear a lot about water haulin but I've done that and don't care for it. Is anyone running flatbeds and making a buck?
    ps.. I'm doing good where I'm at just curious about other slickback operators. :wave:

    Can anyone give any input on what Texas oilfield companies with drivers that has a work schedule with a week maybe 2 weeks off rotation? I only know of one in texas, eagle one, with 5 days off every 21 days I believe.

    The only time I've come across that schedule is with some fracking outfits, but I get the impression it's not very common these days. A 4/1 or 5/1 schedule seems to be the norm with water hauling outfits. I work a 5/2, Mon through Fri, but that's because I'm in a pump truck.
    I'm surprised to hear that Eagle One uses that rotation, but it makes me think there might be a little hope for you in finding a few others.

    Eagle 1 used to run ads on Craigslist a lot. All over the country, not even anywhere even close to the regions the Oil Patches are in. The reason why ? They were trying to lure in folks that wouldn't realize just what a bad deal they were offering. They have slowed way down on their ads on CL. IIRC, there have been a few posts on here where some posters have confirmed that they misrepresent the hours and bonuses that will really be available. Let me see if I can find a link on here. I would highly recommend you look elsewhere.

    Nabors is hiring nuverra is hiring and many others in asherton cazrio springs tx drive up 83 from laredo and theres plenty of yards hiring im currently working for nabors out of ashland tx as a vacum driver. Its pretty much a common sense job and easy to work 70 hours a week. They have a hiring lady in george west tx and u can pretty much just walk in and apply. I can be hit iff line if any one else has and other questions.

    The only thing I've heard about them is in the thread HeWhiMustNotBeNamed referenced. I was going to link it for you, but he beat me to it!

    I took the job with sun coast and I'm liking it. A drastic change from OTR, but I am getting used to it and the paychecks.
