    The Texans have invaded this place over the last few weeks. I said Tim Allen trucking a few days back, it's actually Tim Ables and they're all over Washington, along with another company called "Country Trucking"? Either way, these guys got big radios and big egos, I certainly wonder how they'll feel here in a few months when the white stuff starts falling. I did a little research and where they're from I can't say they've ever seen the ice or snow, we'll see.......

    I don't know much of the road numbers up here, but the last exit in PA on 70 which is West Alexander has some crazy roads, I deliver water out to these nowhere parts of the country and have yet to see it in really bad winter weather, it's an eye opener for sure.

    Even if they have driven in the ice or snow.. We can be pretty certain that they have never driven in that stuff on the types of roads in OH, WV, and PA lol.

    I'm not sure about sand... but cement.... Idling with little back pressure I can't stay below 10psi lol... That is unless I want to open my blowdown a little.

    How long does it usually take to unload sand? Cement is anywhere between 30-60 minutes depending on the silo...

    Well they are calling for a bad winter, I bet some people will either head back south or find how inhospitable those mountain roads are. LOL

    We unload in about 40 minutes, I dont push it too hard, run about 11 to 12 psi, the problem ive seen with them running at 7 is they just dont flow steady, and if they plug its because they were all trained to open their
    pockets all the way, I only open mine about 3/4 the way, and crack a second one and get a nice steady flow. We all have 3 pocket trailers btw.... Its a bit of a dog and pony show, but this well will be done beginning of next week, not sure where were moving yet, should be close. Were way up on 67/88 up above wheeling, lots of 15 mph curves...

    Welp, I remember last winter I used to watch the morons from Select Energy services trying to chain up, that was a circus!!!

    I know that there's alot of roads in WV that are fun, down below waynesburg PA and around hundred WV had some nice twisties, I run loads of super sacks up near towanda occasionally now and I love it up there...



    Up state new york has alot of roads that can get you pretty quickly as well.

    I used to drive coal truck as a young guy, 119 North was real interesting, 32 is another place in frozen wonderland.

    Even though the roads can be tricky, I don't mind running WV one bit, it's such beautiful area.
