Texas Intrastate

trashy ol pipe haulers. lol

who do you run for, acme?

 

Plenty of o/o running frac sand in Texas....I'm not an o/o but I know a lot
who are doing very well and never leave Texas unless they really want to.

They will go to Oklahoma or Louisiana, Arkansas etc......but it's on their terms.

For that matter, I only leave Texas when I want to.

 

I use to work for acme years ago lost my ##### i was there "weekend man" sit all week untill friday than wow!! got a run

The only reason i went there was all them guys have new nice trucks so i fig thay made good money WRONG!!! thay all were retired or f%#%#%g someone up front

 

I know this is an old thread, but I am looking to relocate to Texas from the Colorado Springs area. There is not a lot of freight coming out of there, and the state as a whole is becoming very Kalifornicated. I was curious what parts of the state were good for freight. I am looking into buying a dropdeck and leasing on with Landstar, Mercer etc... I am currently a leaser pulling a company van. I really like the hill country of course, so that is where I am concentrating, but that doesn't mean I won't look elsewhere. Bayou Hotshot never did say who he was leased to pulling pipe. Please any and all suggestions are welcomed.

 

Something I forgot, I am not a big city type of guy. I like a more rural setting with acreage.

 

good luck with that. I pretty much draw a line from dallas to houston and stay east of it if at all possible and run TX, LA, AR, MO, OK. there is nothing out west and very little around san antonio, austin etc that pays anything.
I live in east TX. very rural, very redneck and very humid

 

im running under my own authority with alot of my own customers i run a step deck but 85% of my loads are flat bed loads if i was to do it again i would just got a flat bed 1/2 the price and i really dont go more than 500 miles sometimes just not alote

 

Tyler is an area I have been looking at as well. I am not saying it has to be west just preferred. If the freight is not there then that is what I wanted to know so maybe I should avoid that area. I appreciate the advice on the drop deck vs flatbed I will take that into consideration as well

 

tyler is nice. Personally if I had to do it again I would move to Nacagdoches which is just a bit south of tyler. it's the oldest town in TX and it's a real nice quaint town. more like an old midwestern town then anything else you will find in tx. I'm about an hour and a half south if it
