Getting some offers for Ohio, Steubenville area.
Anybody hauling in that area that can give me some insight both as a company driver or O/O?
Seen some rates and are pretty good compared to west Texas.

Doing what for whom?
-
Hauling crude. I only work for O/Os so I didn't get any info from a company drivers stand point.
I'll hold off on naming the contractor but I know Paisan was also hiring in the region. -
Paisan is only O/O, but a fair number of their O/O's have multiple trucks and hire on drivers. They seem to be doing rather well, from the several I've chatted with. Don't know rates since I don't haul crude, but rumours have the hired drivers making between 26% and 30% of load, depending on which O/O they're actually working for.

What are the leases like? And how's the weather up there nowadays. I might up there for the foreseeable future, at least through winter.

Well, I'm a Northeasterner, and as we say in the Marcellus/Utica... This Ain't F--in' Texas. The pads are flat but that's about it. Roads are narrow with tight corners and Amish buggies, lease roads are typically pretty steep but completely passable in 3 out of 4 seasons. Ohio's version of snow sucks, and that's coming from a New Yorker. It's more likely to be sheet ice under damp wet snow, so you're going to get quite familiar with chaining up. It's not bad, but that depends on what you're used to.
