    I am curious about how difficult it is to pull a mechanical double drop as far as recognizing where one might get high centered? I have 6 years pulling a flat but considering moving to a double drop. How often do you really adjust the ride height?

    i have no clue lol, the intersection on our rd is at teh top of a hill and the the other rd is right on a curve and ona slant.... and the drop decks and lowboys that come in here picking up the roll sof steel get stuck on that ledge at least once a week. no matter how you turn it sometimes theres no hope lol, my jeep even hits when im makin a left turn. rights are ntoas bad .... but tricky with the wide turn to avoid the pole and guard rail...

    Our schedules arent as bad as working on an actual frac crew such as haliburton, calfrac, universal etc. We just supply the frac crews with water.

    pulling around that rental equipment seems like it could be a good enough gig if that hourly rate made it worth your while. Water hauling is EASY, we sit on location for hours sometimes and usually your just in and out of the truck to hook up and hose and not out in the weather for prolonged periods of time.
