    If it's on Craigslist you could probably cut that in half to make it more accurate.
    2012 rates were much better than that.

    Around 90ish the lowest I've heard is 82hr. Its not worth the wear and tear on the truck when you can run locally and make that

    That’s true. I seen the direct rate sheet from Chesapeake when the boom started in the Marcellus. Tractor trailer water tankers were at $130 hr. Sand cans were making between $12k and $15k some weeks and only burning $1000 in fuel. Almost got into it. I didn’t want to be married to a well for weeks at a time. I had some friends who got in , in the beginning and got out when it tanked. I knew a few guys who went deep and bought a bunch of water trucks and went belly up when the rates tanked.
    It seems like it’s getting a little busy again , but it’s boom and bust. I don’t like the bust part...lol!
