Frac Sand Hauling in TX

When someone says they will pay you a certain percentage after contractor fees what exactly are those made up of?

 

Don't get involved with FLex Frac. We signed on and never were paid what we were told the job was to pay. I had to fight to get our money and then we had to pay 3% of the invoice to get our money on time. I have been told that the company is into a lot of illegal activities, which is just 2nd hand information, but it is heard from more that one individual. The company currently has several lawsuits against them.

 

Any o/o have any feedback on working for Vertex Solutions out of Aledo, Tx.? Would greatly appreciate feedback.

 

thank you for the info.................

 

Vertex is the trucking side of Frac Tech........I heard they weren't paying fuel surcharge any more.

Drivers rumor........verify verify verify.

I know a few guys running as company hands there....they seem happy.

 

i have info on both companies,.....my truck ran for flex frac,...its a nightmare,...my friend runs for vertex,....thers no comparison,....vertex subs work to flex frac if theres any conection at all,....one company is awsome the other insane ....i hope one NEVER reflects on the other..............little ant

 

we talked to a guy today that says we (my husband and I running seperate co. trks) would be looking at a min. of $2000. a wk gross per driver...that doesnt even sound reasonable...great yes, but realistic no...help me out somebody...i have no knowledge of frac sand,said he would train us...should we grab it, or run the other way????

 

Very possible.....I've done it as a sand hauler many weeks.

It's not possible right now unless you're gonna go OTR sand hauling.

I'm talking Panhandle, South Texas, Ok, Colorado, NM etc.

The drought has the frac jobs all but shut down right now around D/FW.

Very little work......we're not starving.......just real slow right now.

We need some rain so we can resume steady work here.

 

thanks....he was talking local, home every night, however when i asked for his DOT number...i never heard from him again....so...i guess that answers that...lol but thanks for your imput....yeah we sure do need some rain thats for sure....i havent been home since july 5th....wonder what my yard looks like, the kid that mows it went from every 2 wks to once a month...cuz it doesnt need it ...hope it rains soon too so work picks up for you...be safe!!!

 

Just stay away from Flex Frac...... solid advice, trust me.
