    I'm still surviving with my flatbed but if rates stay in the toilet long enough I'd be willing to head out there.

    I only run OTR if I haaaaaaaave to, which is 4% of the year.

    I prefer my $160-$210 / hour oilfield rates.

    Your truck is paid by the hour out there?
    How many miles do you drive a day.

    Not to mention one week in the oil patch equals a month's wear and tear OTR

    Why not lease onto Bruce Oakley or PT or someone that has the work and the trailers instead of spending money on a trailer and then having to use commodity brokers to get your loads?
