    'D& T sucks. Tuttle is OK. Rowdy Farms is pretty good. 3 Way out of Boyd has good rep.

    Well i am trucking school through a local community college up here (tution was only $400). Its an 11 week course where we drive 4 days a week and have 1 day of week for class. I have 1 speeding ticket and 1 at fault accident in the last 3 years.will it be hard for me to get a job in the oil patch or do you think i would get a driving job right away? Also what can i expect to make? I was thinking of moving to Texas so i could have some sort of a social life.

    I've been a water hauler for 5 years. Been thinking of going to sand hauling. What are your thoughts?

    I've had a bad expirience in San Antonio tx hauling sand. I wanna try it again but don't know. The company I worked for was not good. I ran a total of 17 loads in 2 weeks and made$1200. I was a water hauler before and made about $2200 a week. Can sand hauling pay me that much? I'm a runner and love to drive. I've been looking into Rockwater? Are they any good?

    Sylvester's services Is the same way they say they got contracts then u sit at home 4 3 weeks then they lose the contracts so you don't do nothing unless you r 1 of the suck ##### then u get some work and if you buy a pump from them if it work you are doing good if it don't then you get run off location and the guy that sold the pumps to them wont even let his truck be worked on his truck he said they would over charge for everything all they are looking for is hard working truck drivers to carry there name because there are making money from the lease the mech shop that all there about I know one driver that went to west tx to haul with a trailer that leaked more out of it then they could put sand in it but they said it all right if you want to work or sit there and not make no money it was for Illinoi state trucking then encanan called then out of seven trucks only three could unload then there dispatch want answer the phone if she think she can date you or try to find her a boy friend for her self now lets talk about the pumps they paid 2000 for them used out of wrecking yard then sell them for 5000 not installed and if they do they most of the time don't work that a another 1500 hundred on top but there real money is from the lease of they trailers if the trailers don't work they still want there money if there contract fall thru they want there money oh yea they will knock about 3 hundred off the top if it there fault that it all and if you get something fixed on the road out of there pocket if it 100 it will cost you 400 in the end and if you work on on it and they only pay 8 dollars a hour when there chief mech is making 30 dollars a hour they got the money to pay him for all the overhead the get from the lease trucks that just the tip of the screw ing you will get may be they will spit on your back so it wont be so dry on you

    Been there, done it, pay isnt there anymore :(
    Too many have come in and cut the rate and some companies
    are just flat out stealing from their drivers !
     
    Big Duker Thanks this.
