<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bret1984, post: 11693801, member: 297040&quot;]I&#039;ve done salt water, sand boxes and pneumatics. </p><p><br /></p><p>Salt water is mostly paid hourly in day cabs. You actually spend more time outside the truck than inside the truck. You&#039;re typically alone trying to find your tank out on some ranch somewhere. Then once you find your tank you gotta go up and Guage the tank then hook up to the pot and pull your load to take to disposal. Again, you&#039;re on your own. You&#039;re not typically going onto an active job site. You&#039;re pulling from tanks that probably nobody has visited since God only knows when. Invest in a good hard hat light as there won&#039;t be any light except for the ones on your truck. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sand is typically paid % of the load. There are local sand haulers but most are running sleeper trucks. Typical schedule is 3 weeks out then 1 week home. Some drivers will do 4 and 1 and many companies let you do 6 then 2. Sandboxes are hauled on a container chassis. No real training needed for that. Just unlock the corners when you get on site, pull up to the dance floor, the forklift takes off your full box(s) then gives you empty(s) and you lock it down then go for the next load. Pneumatics require some training but it isn&#039;t bad. They take longer to unload but they also hold alot more sand and come with much bigger payouts. So you&#039;d have to do 5 sandbox loads to make the money of 3 pneumatic loads. However if that pneumatic driver can manage to get the same number of loads as the sand box guys then he&#039;ll make a lot more money. Neither is immune from the staging pad or long lines. </p><p><br /></p><p>My experience has all been in Texas so I wouldn&#039;t know everything about North Dakota or Pennsylvania.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
