sand experience? please explain

If a company needs you bad enough they'll train you on sand but they could mean 1 yr exp driving truck.

 

Loading and unloading the sand. Alot of well sites demand that you have a minimum of 6 or so months experience or have been with the company a certain period of time, before theyll allow you on their pad, without a chaperone. Well sites can be extremely tight and there is no room for error. You get in, unload, and get out of the way for the next truck as fast as you can. Weatherford was extremely anal about this. But I've been to independent sites that could care less.

 

@scythe08 sounds like he has the exp so any questions/concerns I think he could asnswer them all for you.

 

1845 Oilfield will take you with 1 yr CDL experience. They'll assign you a trainer for 5-10 trips after orientation. There really isn't any money to make unless you're an 0/0 that doesn't mind working 16-20 hrs a day before Elog.

 

Sand is the bottom of oilfield trucking. You can learn it in a couple loads.

 

But once elogs is in effect it's going to be hard to make money unless they pay instant demurrage again which I doubt will happen.

 

I always thought water hauling was the bottom of oilfield trucking.

 

Maybe Pennsylvania it is. Sand hauling is more like OTR and lots of sitting and minimal work. Water isn't too far off either but it is much steadier.
