    I'm a small carrier (2 trucks) looking to haul sand with a flatbed in west texas. I have no experience in the oilfield so I would like to start with my flatbeds hauling boxes before investing in blowers, hoses, and the other expensive equipment. I'm looking for advice on the brokers that others may be using for hauling sand or what companies are more likely to give a contract to a small outfit like mine. Thanks in advance

    If you mean Horizon in Midland they don't haul the sand on flatbeds. The supplier out of Houston that imports the sand (ceramic stuff) that is in bags in their yard on Fairgrounds rd hauls it themselves.

    That I know of most of these companies will let u lease. On to them and u will run under there numbers. But if your looking to book your own loads with a broker. I'm not sure witch way to go on that.

    I have a buddy wrking in the area. I an ask him ut he may not know of any brokerage companies. However it's a highly dangerous area to work in with so many hazards. And someone dies almost everyday in a wreck in the area
