Looking for the scoop on Bridger out of Stockdale, Tx

Lol

 

Seems like you know alot about this.

When did this all happen, or how many years ago. Maybe show some proof to back up your claims.

The Crude Oil side of Bridger seems to be doing fine now. Especially with Pilot in charge of operations. Maybe you should stop living in the past

Also in MY videos, I never said $5k was blowing it out the water for crude O/Os. I think you forget that Bridger is a lease driver company, not an owner operator company. I know exactly how much Crude and Sand owner operators are making out here. Maybe you should get your facts straight before rambling like a child.

@Crude Truckin' thanks for watching

TTT

 

So are you leasing a truck from bridger or driving for a lease operator?. If its the latter, are you on a W2 or 1099?.

It can be difficult trying to figure out who does what from youtube videos. You get one guy showing off big checks then come to realize he is 1099 and the gubmint is going to rape that check...or he is leasing and after truck note and fuel he is making no more than a decent company driver.

 

Im leasing. They call us 'Owner Ops' but basically we're just renters for the truck and trailer. 1099. Plenty of deductions for us come tax season. Plus I have guys that have good tax man that I'll be using. GOOD ones.

And we definitely make more then company drivers when the wells are up and running. But as I explained on my last video, there is only one customer that we're hauling for at this time so its alot of ups and downs. If people want more stability in Frac trucking then they might want to look into good company driver jobs out here. I know BoBeaux Trucking is hiring out of Carlsbad right now, 25% gross, and they have steady contracts, making around $1500-2200 weekly. But if things become stable on the Frac side of Bridger then we can be making $12k - $16k take home monthly.

The Crude guys are averaging around $3-4k weekly take home right now. But of course there can be up and downs on that side as well. But the crude side is more stable then the Frac Sand side for now, so I'm currently trying to switch over.

Bridger should only be looked at as a stepping stone for future Owner Operators looking to save up for their own truck/s. Not a place to complete the lease purchase. Which is a 3yr lease with a huge ### balloon payment at the end.. Not worth it! People need to stack up and get their own truck outside of Bridger if they decide to come.

The Crude guys have alot of work out in Carlsbad right now but also operate in a few other areas.

 

I'm sorry to take over this post. Just like to state facts.

I don't have any info on the water side of Bridger but I'll try and see if I can somehow get in touch with one of their drivers soon.

 

And just to be clear, I'm not personally attacking you by calling you that, I'm sure you are a swell guy with the best of intentions. I'm attacking your ideas, and I dont think trying to coax other people into what you are doing is a great idea. I've seen personally what Southern Energy, and later Bridger, did to ill-informed drivers that they lured in like a fish. That company ruined families, relationships, lives, and I dont EVER want to see that happen again. There's old Bridger trucks parked all over western ND with weeds growing around them, because that's where the poor sap that got suckered by some smooth talking salesmen left it, and walked away like a dog that got beat within an inch if his life. That's my opinion on Bridger, and I hope maybe they changed, but I'm willing to bet that they are still preying on unsuspecting newcomers to the oilfield with their fairy dust and unicorn farts.

 

It's different for everyone out here. And I'm just trying to tell people that there's a better way to make money out here then being OTR. You can make a full OTR monthly paycheck in one week out here of the wells are running good. People are out 3-4 weeks at a time anyways, why not have an opportunity to make more money out here in the fields?

I don't understand the hate that I get sometimes, but that's the name of the game.

Regardless, the crude oil guys are doing good right now.. for the ones that hustle out here. But as I tell everyone in the vids, it's an up and down business. People can't be coming out here expecting fat checks all the time, if they want stability in Frac Sand then I'd suggest another company for now.

Gonna do my best to be more transparent in the future. Especially if I move to the crude side

 

The issue may be that just within your last post you say that oilfields pay way more than OTR and almost in the same breath say don't come out there expecting fat checks and that it is an up and down business.

Which is it?.

 

It's both, as I said. It's up and down. When the wells are up we make a crapload more then OTR. One good month out here and that's 2 months of OTR pay. Regardless it's more then OTR.
