How are you going to survive?

My new math is $1 a mile for fuel, 75 cents for maintenance. I'm not doing #### for less than $3 on a bad lane, 7 on a good lane.

 

I had a truck for 10 years that had a 150 gallon fuel tank mounted on the catwalk plus the 2 120 gallon tanks mounted on the frame. I think the tank mounted on the catwalk legally could not be gravity fed to the lower tanks. I forget how it was plumbed but I was able to save only fueling at home.

 

I definitely like my huge tanks but not for this reason because they gonna make you pay IFTA more. However, you have to do your own calculus to see if it's going to be reciprocal or not.

 

The 5 well pads on the mountain here are leased for 8 holes a piece. At most they only have 2-4 drilled on each. The last time they were frac'd was 10-11 years ago. Maybe once every 3 weeks or so a water bottle comes up for flow back

 

I did mostly cement for the blue Smurfs. Sometimes moved frac equipment around when cement slowed down.

Out in Ohio we set a land based world record for longest well. 27,750 total length in 13-14 days from spud to TD. Outlaw was the name of the well Lol. That records been broke again a few times now

 

I did do some work with the blue guys as well. Mainly around Big Springs tx I think. To many years ago. Ha ha.

 

Are those figures loaded miles or all miles?

 

I only deadhead to dream loads. So 5-6000 profit for 3 days, I'll deadhead to, otherwise I just don't deadhead.

European In Liters, America In Gallons.
In '08, Had A Mate (Kiwiray) At Another Trucking Site Who Lived In New Zealand, He Died In '14.
They Are On Liters, British, Ya Know.
Anyways, Fuel Here Was Like It's Getting Back Up To.
Theirs, It Was About $1.85 A Liter = $7.00 Per Gallon Equivalent, And Kiwiray Was Saying "You Yanks Don't Have The Right To Whinge & Moan. Try Litres, THEN WHINE".

Guess Here In USA, It "could change" To 1/2 Gallons OR Quarts??
WOULDN'T THAT BE FUN, EH??!!

WE Have 1 Vehicle with an 18 Gallon Fuel Tank.
It'll Still Not Be Good Fueling.

 

That's pretty darn good. I've been averaging $4/mile on all miles so far this year. Ran 899 miles last week in 3 days. $3875 gross.
