    Lease on to an oil hauler and buy the truck thru them? Easier to be a company night driver and gross good money. Too much of its on you as a lease driver. If oil goes down, then what? Truck is a one trick pony. Assuming you have to buy trailer too.

    I have a buddy that drives that leases on with Bridger in East TX and West LA, he's pretty happy but he's out a lot. CO has work, I know the company I'm with is expanding into CO as we speak which should soften the blow of whatever is going to happen in the Bakken in the coming year or so. We pull oil for Conoco/Exxon pretty evenly and a tiny bit for Shell, I know some of the Conoco wells are already being choked back.

    yeah I had the same experience with bridger they promise you everything but cant deliver,they cant keep accounts because they cant force an o/o to work on weekends and holidays so most take off forcing leases to look elsewhere to pickup the oil,

    When I got on the plane leaving Midland to Dallas to Chicago. One of the guys behind me on the first plane, said they already fired half of the office staff. He was a cementer. So, I'm guessing people will be let go two weeks into the year. Maybe companies are holding back till February, when it traditionally picks up. I already had my pay cut about 2 weeks ago. It doesn't look strong at this point.

    I still see Bridger in the Houston area but not as many as before. I was told by one of their drivers they were being told to either head out of this area to West TX or LA if they wanted to keep working. They do drive nice trucks and trailers as opposed to some other lease operators in the area.
