Looking for the scoop on Bridger out of Stockdale, Tx

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 have my own authority with trucks and trailers. I’m trying to get in with a company where I can run under my authority. Do you know of anyone?

I’m doing sandbox as a driver for an owner operator. We are not bridger but sub contract for companies that contract direct with Halliburton

Sandbox trucks gross $10,000 a week as long as the truck is available 24/7. Pneumatic does more because pneumatic trucks get more per load.

There is a reason why bridger keeps getting sold. do not think the oilfield in general is the same as what is happening at bridger. It’s busy and just getting busier

Transport, take a look at Craigslist or indeed for companies hiring frac sand O/Os, most of them can will work with you. If you want your own contracts your probably going to have to start this way and make contacts in the field.

Some companies bi can think of,

1845
Menacr
Frazer Transport
