    That can't be real. But close maybe. If you own a truck and want to wreck it. I know of a guy that ran sand with his own truck and said e grossed $10,000 per week. But he spent his money foolishly and could not fix his truck when it blew the engine.

    Why is that the way it always seems to go, people find something that pays like an atm and then spend the money on stupid crap.

    I just like to eat. But .43 per mile makes it hard to eat hot food for 2 or 3 weeks out and still pay bills. Heck I don't even own a running car, nor do I want to pay for a new one. The newest shirt I own is the one my boss gave me with his name on it. But I still do eat to much so time to stop that. Than I can afford to smoke my fancy name brand American cigarettes.

    Around here in pa rates aren't very good for O-O not what they were 5 yrs ago.

    One of my dads buds is hauling water @83$ hr with a company transport. Just 1 driver 6 days a week 6000-expenses. Power only authority he's using their wagon

    Most places want your truck 24-7 so that means you and 2 other drivers (that may also beat your equipment to death)

    3 drivers to 1 truck to have a 4 on 2 off schedule.

    Imo too much hassle and risk for the rates atm, at least here in the Marcellus.

    1000-1500 a day is doable here and still be home every night running flats locally

    That’s not a unicorn.

    If you run crude 20 hours a day or more than making that is easy.

    I’m running Sandbox for an owner op making $10K a week easy.
