    Man you are about 5 years too late for that money.
    Those days are long gone.
    I Ran a vacuum truck in south Texas, I left almost 2
    Years ago.
    They were down to 14/ 15 bucks an hour when I left
    With no overtime.

    Don't waste your time.

    True. The boom is over. Which you can still make good money in North Dakota if you're willing to put up with it up there.

    I don't know,

    I mean it's not as much as a crane op, or coil tubing, etc... training and mancamps, plus hourly pay that's not too bad for no hazmat. Have faith, I think it'll pick up real soon
     
    ur2ez83 Thanks this.

    C&j is running hard! They are fixing up the place and spending money. My buddy runs his hrs out every week. BUT, you can't run what you want anymore. Run your 12 or 15 and that's it. No more 100+ hour weeks. Almost all out fits down here run legal. $18 an hour is the average pay.
     
    TampaTony and Alfhin92 Thank this.

    I work there, and yes we are busy. The yard in Kenedy has been busy since the boom. Vacuum drivers can get 70 hours every week. Free housing as well. Pay starts at $17, for everyone, regardless of experience. So, do the math and figure out the pay. This place has issues like everywhere else, but in the Eagleford, C&J is the only place who stays consistent I feel. They are hiring so if you re interested apply.

    70 hours is the max. We also work a 5/2 5/3 schedule. Unless you live out of state, you can work a 5/1 schedule for a few weeks, then take a week off.
