    Received an offer from VPROP to work in their West TX operations as a frac sand driver. Depending on the yard, you either live in a Target Logistics location in Pecos, or a trailer by yourself in Monahans and receive $40 a day per diem. I was just notified that pay has changed from load pay to hourly, at $25. The pay change just happened and the recruiters were scrambling calling those who are scheduled to be in orientation this Monday, like I am. So...Anyone have any info on them? I suppose it's kinda late in the game to be asking for any information, but thought I'd give it one last chance before I commit. Any info on them would be appreciated.

    That’s great news! I passed by the sand loading place between Midland and Big Spring yesterday and the trucks were stacked in a line bout a mile long on the access road and half a mile into the entrance to the sand railroad cars. I thought “poor guys getting paid by the load and gonna take better part of the day to get loaded. The clock is ticking while they sit in line there” But it’s great to hear they might be getting paid by the hour. That’s the only way I would do it.....

    Do they raise the pay rate above 40 hours to time and a half ? If they do then it sounds like they are improving. Even if it's only straight time all the way to 70 it still sounds like an improvement. Congrats on getting the new job. If it's overtime over 40, I might be interested myself. Let me know if they offer a referral.

    That sounds alright as long as they can keep you busy and are honest with the pay.
