Sanboxes

The only company I see in North Dakota really running step decks in liberty Frac which has same type boxes as prop x.

See a few arrows up on step decks but see a lot more chassis now. Prop x as well is starting to have the chassis

As far as if you can buy the arrows up or prop x chassis I don’t know. Halliburton Sand box chassis you can’t buy, only get from Halliburton to use

Rates depend on who you hook up with who has a direct MSA on rates. I get the rates when I run sandbox and I see $670.41 on 98 miles

 

Difference on rates depends on who has the MSA. Some bid low to get more loads while others bid higher and get less loads. They basically get the loads the lower bidding carriers can’t handle

 

As far as getting your own MSA that I don’t know but up in ND I see a lot of one truck owner ops pulling liberty frac boxes. Liberty might like only dealing with the little guy

 

Sandbox deals with the little guy as does aarows up

 

Is Sandbox the wave of the future? Will they make pneumatic and belly dump obsolete?

 

On average, how many of those trips can you make in a week?

 

OSHA has lowered the standards to how much silica dust a worker can be exposed to over time. Pneumatic is obsolete because there is no way it can meet the standards

A truck running 24 hours a day 7 days will get 4 lloads a day average. Some days more some less depends on the well. If their are no hang ups and the Frac crew can keep it hummin 21 loads a week easy. If the well is giving problems or it’s a week they need to change wellheads 10 loads.

 

Check out the company Jolt. They haul for frac tech and based out of Fort Worth Tx but haul sand boxes on step decks in west Tx. Don’t know the pay but they do have lots of work.
