ProDrivers(hiring firm) has an ad in my area for frac sand hauling in TX or NM.
Promising $1400/week minimum, 1.5-2 trips/day with bonuses for over 7 loads/week.
I'm skeptical at best. I know sand haulers make decent money, but I've been burned before.
Does anyone here have any suggestions or experience with this firm?
Frac sand opportunity, too good to be true?

I was looking into that as well. They are a temp agency, not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing.
KNIGHTRIDER/AR-15 and speedyk Thank this. -
Those seem like pretty standard rates. I made 7 loads in a week with my old company and came out at $1378 at 28% of the load. Those rates are anywhere though, that’s bad money for sand. Rates like those are everywhere on Craigslist.
DSK333, rabbiporkchop and Akwilson Thank this. -
I'll tell you what, after putting 2 years in the patch myself and my dad and uncle having 7+ years in I would never go back for anything less than 2000 a week.
Not worth it for any less imoaustinmike, rabbiporkchop, blairandgretchen and 6 others Thank this. -
And that's 2000 a week bring home with free housing.
I live in Texas and would never go back to the patch
For anything less.KNIGHTRIDER/AR-15, austinmike and Cottonmouth85 Thank this. -
I made 2060 this week on eight loads and demurrage, it was kinda slow too, took about 2 days off also
Skav Thanks this. -
I ran for an owner operator in West Virginia and make $3000 in one week. It was ALOT of hours however
Made the two owners so much money that they started fighting over the money and when the truck broke down they won’t fix it coz they are fighting over who pays.
The best way to make money with sand is if you are solo and unleashed to work as many hours as you can.
The 12 hour shifts usually end up 3 or less per shift each driver. -
When it ends it'll be quick and fast.
And you'll be the last one to know. -
Bgroxie Thanks this.
