I just signed on with a sand hauler in PA.....

Didn't they tell you in the interview?

 

of course they did....dispatch tells me it's a hot load and I'm the only one that can handle it too.....still doesn't get me closer to the answer from people I am looking for ...

If you do not have an answer then refrain from follow up questions............

 

I worked outta Williamsport back in 2011 for a while with an independent who leased on to a larger company. I was paid 30%. Most loads paid around 100 to 125 and demurrage was 18 an hour, capped at 15 hours per 24 hour period. On a good week I made 3200 and on a bad week I would make around 1100 if I worked at all. But being away for 2-3 weeks on end didn't sit well with the wife and kids.... Hope that helps

 

Yes..that helps THANK YOU

 

well I finally made it to the gas fields... just finished loading my first load of sand... still nerve racking when you're the new guy... couple guys up here should be how to do it... now waiting to shadow driver... spent pretty much 24 hours at the yard.. no pay.... but I'm okay with that.... will keep you posted

 

Well, been in the fields for a few days now and I must say....not too bad....great guys helping with advice and tips....easy work, yet the hours are long to a point...ran hard for 2 days got worn out and told dispatch i was shutting down.....what got my respect was that he said "call me when u get up" not "hey fcker call me in 5 hrs"...they understand that we bust ### and give us ALOT of room to do our job safely....so far have 3 loads done in 2 days....keep u posted...

 

What area are you working in? I worked in Washington/Allegheny county mostly. I've been gone for 6 months now and was just wondering how things are holding up in those areas if that's where you're at.

 

Running from Smithfield to Eighty Four, PA...sand can

 

staying busy for sure

 

Frac Tech opened up a sand yard off of 519 in 84 about the time I moved back to Florida, beat the heck out of running back to Greentree or McKee's Rocks.
