What's a realistic yearly gross income for a company driver in Texas?
I know there's a difference between the job and companies, crude vs frac vs whatever. I'm just looking for a ballpark range if I work maximum legal hours using all the exemptions for oilfield work.
I realize its a vague question but what I'm looking for is a reply like..."At my company in Midland crude haulers can run legal and make X and frac can make Y."

At most frac companies if you tried to run legal they would run you off. There's really no way to provide the service they expect and run legal unless they use contract drivers.

legal hours X what you make an hour ... pretty simple. anything over 40 is X1.5
usually what you get to use the over 15h is " "yard time" " depending on the company.
and if you are paid by the load / miles , it will depends on how far , how many loads they give you. ( can't really make an average out of that though...) -
That's the catch 22 isn't it. If you run how you have to to do the job and if something happens the company will leave you out to twist.

How much can you make in relation to how much you pay the Man. The more you work the more you Pay the Man. Where do you draw the line on who you work for?

Let's do some math.
Let's say you were to go to work for Chalk Mountain hauling sand, and were going to be on the night shift...which pays $19.25/hr. So...$19.25/hr x 40 hours is $770 gross. Time and a half after 40 hours is $28.88/hr. $28.88 x 30=$866.40. $866.40+$770=$1,636.40 gross for 70 hours in a week. Federal withholding (based on you claiming '0' on your w4) is $318.60, SS is $101.46, and Medicare is $23.73. Texas doesn't have state tax so no worries there. So without considering any other deductions that may come out, your net would be $1192.61 for a 70 hour work week.hardworkinman, duck65, D.Tibbitt and 1 other person Thank this. -
Co. driver in Houston, major crude hauler and he is my trainer, hit 87k last year legally. Job was advertised at 80 to 100k plus fantastic goodies from day 1......
That should help....BRShirk Thanks this. -
Chalk Mountain is one of the companies I was looking at. The other big/bigger names as well. Get my foot in the door and pay my dues...

be ready for night shift 6 to 6 or 7 to 7 but one thing about it you get paid for every hour your there. they don't care at all to pay you for doing nothing. probably the easiest job you have ever had. most weeks 60 hrs not 70.BRShirk Thanks this.
