    Looking into the oil field frac jobs and sand box found two companys willing to let me get my feet wet but not sure which one ive seen more bad reviews about. So any advice? Stevens tanker or 1845? Ive put this info on here before but figure it helps to have some background. Ive got one year recent flat bed and step deck expirience driving 48 states. One ticket in the last 3 years no accidents. And ive got two felonys from 2009 and 2011 so relatively old. In the process now of trying to get my hazmat (which i dont think ill pass the background check)....and my tanker and double triple.

    Neither has a great reputation among their own drivers. Put both company names on scraps of paper and pick one out of a hat.

    I have talked with a couple of drivers from Swaggin' Wagon and they liked it. I no nothing about Stevens or 1845, other than seeing them in the fields.

    Steven's and 1845 both have high turnover rates. I think 1845 has lease operators too.

    Btw running sandboxes sucks. You'll sit more than you run. Been there, done that. Pneumatic is better but no way Id run for Stevens.

    With flatbed & stepdeck experience, you should be able to get on anywhere.
