Job Updates!!!!

I'm hauling SW, sometimes in Williston and sometimes in the Newtown area where the company I work for is based.
In New Town our hours average 40 to 50, here in Williston we're getting 60 to 70.

I went to CDL school in Sparks, NV and visited most of the companies in that area when I graduated 3 years ago. They don't pay very much which is why I wanted to go to work in the oilfields.

I ended up in Texas, hired at $16/hour for 90 days and then bumped to $20 after, but I still grossed 46k. working the last six months of 2013. I only point this out to compare with making 45k. for a full year of working in Reno.

Whiting oil company will be fracking six wells in the New Town area and I'm told we will be very busy with cleanups until the end of June.

If this job goes away after that then I plan to move either to Reno or the Seattle area to drive for much less.

And thanks to El Niño, I've been told this is one of the mildest winters in many years. Only one weekend we had temperatures that reached -15 below zero. Above zero the rest of this winter with 40° temperatures by day and 20° at night this week. Very little snow this season.

 

Are you with Ironhorse?

 

No, a small company called Roy trucking.

About 11 trucks now.

 

Still holding on in eastern MT/ND driving a vac truck mostly. Just got cut from 70hrs a week to 40 and hoping for no cuts in hourly wage (just cutting out the O/T is a 50% reduction in gross pay for me). The company is good and pays very well so I'm holding on... I pay rent here and also support a household "back home" so any substantial pay cuts will not make working up here worthwhile anymore (I'm trying to get kid#2 through college - only one year left).

 

Who are you working for? Saltwater hauler i assume

 

Moved from corpus christi to Allentown pa. I was hauling for a company out of Aransas pass. I'm currently hauling fuel for penn tank in the allentown paarea. Money is alot less but there's a bunch to do area here and I have a lot of family here. So it worked out well so far!!!!

 

Still living in San Angelo, but running OTR expedited freight for a small fleet owner. Things are still really slow around Angelo. Seems like most of the action is West of a line from Andrews-Pecos...at least that's where most of my sand can buddies are hauling to. I went by Selects yard in Angelo last week. They probably had over 50 vacuum trailers in there. I've never seen that many there all at once. Just another sign of the times I guess.

 

Still with Enterprise, transferred from the Permian Basin back to South Texas. Now hauling LPG from Corpus Christi to Brownsville, and absolutely loving it!

 

Didn't enterprise pull there yard out of corpus???

 

How is LPG hauling compared to crude? I tried to transfer to Baytown to haul LPG before Enterprise sold the Rocky Mt Division, but they said no way until after the sale goes through.
