Frac sand hauling questions.....

I was around clarksburg for a few months. Ended up in ND.

Did a week off US Wells moves for Kentucky natural resources but not enough hours.

 

They got you in a man camp?

 

According to OSHA:
"Those employers do not have to implement engineering controls to limit exposures to the new PEL until June 23, 2021, three years later than other general industry and maritime employers. From June 23, 2018 to June 23, 2021, hydraulic fracturing employers can continue to have employees use respirators when exposures exceed the PEL."

By then, I'm sure they will have figured out something similar to the dust collection systems in use at concrete batch plants.

 

Halliburton is a complete waste of time.Arbtrary schedule changes,hour cuts,micromanagement.They over manage the simplest job.Dont waste your time.

 

Are you driving for Halliburton directly?

Halliburton drivers always try to tell me that Halliburton plans to hire in enough drivers to replace all the sub contractors but I keep telling them they are out of their minds thinking they can possibly find thousands of drivers

 

I think they figured out they can’t dispatch that many drivers and they’re drivers don’t sit around like we do. They well goes down and they chassis out. We are expected to sit around for free.

 

Sitting for free I wouldn't last long. We run our own #s but we pull for a company using their water transports/sand box chassis. Paid by the hour for both. Small company with around 30 trucks, about 10 company trucks 20 O/O.

The hard part is getting in with a company that won't screw you over. You'll never see them advertise looking for drivers, we only got in because my dad knew a handful of drivers and the last company my dad ran sand for both bosses know each other. Its a small circle and you pretty much need to know someone to get your foot in the door
