Shortage of Drivers in Oilfield

Yeah I knew what u meant

 

Not a problem pal. I've been looking for a few weeks. Just trying to narrow it down on a company to go with for the sandbox. I have a truck lined up and waiting to pull the trigger. Lol

 

So the sandbox is pretty lucrative huh. I'm planning on moving down there in august and wanna buy a truck myself some time next year

 

Really not sure. I'm seeing 6k to 10k gross on average for the boxes. Up to 12k if you have your own complete setup. I don't want to invest in a pneumatic wagon just in case it slows down or the extra 10% in pay. Guess it should be good for at least a couple years though from what I hear. We live in Florida so myou family will not relocate and I can't blame them. They're spoiled on the water. I plan to work 2 to 3 weeks and then fly home for a week and back to the truck for another turn.

 

Makes perfect sense. I wouldn't do the entire setup either

 

Word to the wise, NO ONE knows how long this current “boom” will last, I’ve been here 11 years, only two things you can count on in the oil field:

1. It’s gonna boom

2. It’s gonna bust

Enjoy your time, work a lot, save as much as you can. Make memories. Don’t forget why your coming out here.

 

I sure do appreciate that pal. Any recommendations?

 

Good mindset to have

 

Recommendations as far as what?

 

A good outfit to lease on to for hauling sand. Thanks
