Crude hauling vs frac fueling.

Hubby does frac fueling. Says most of his day is spent reading his articles on his phone, napping and hanging out. Not much work involved. At first it made him feel guilty cuz he likes working hard but now he is taking it for all its worth, lol. His main complaint is the heat . The sites he is on usually feed them well too. He was getting per diem also but now they are retroing expenses. He also likes the no restrictions on hours.

 

I think you should go with frac fueling. It's a really easy job compare to crude hauling. My biggest concern with crude is having to constantly drive these nasty lease roads and worrying about spilling crude. You also have to deal with traffic and other drivers falling asleep on these roads. I am looking at it from ex water hauler perspective.
Now I am a frac equipment operator and these frac fuel guys have it made. I kind of myself was like maybe I should apply lol. They sit in the cab or outside all day and they check fuel levels on all our equipment and when it goes to a certain point they just fuel everything back up. Not a bad job at all.

 

What are the negatives?

 

I would also like to know the negatives on frac fueling

 

Ohhhhh. Well that goes for almost all oilfield jobs. I guess in crude you ride on your own and do your own thing. But to me the downside would be being out there in the middle of no where with nobody to talk.

 

The easiest money will still be in frac fueling. If you look at it, all the negatives mentioned for frac fueling you will have to deal with them while hauling crude. I would rather walk in mud than drive in mud. Believe me I've done it in water hauling. And if you don't convoy with someone else and find yourself on your own their might be a chance no one could help if you were to get stuck.
