    Those trucks must be geared to have some long legs. Only at 1300 rpm’s at 67-68 doesn’t seem too bad to me

    You sure you got the right company.
    I've never seen or heard of them doing oilfield work.

    Ya, i didnt know about it either, but they have a yard in midlothian. Tx. Thats where the sand division is based out of. I talked to the lady there, and it sounds pretty good at face value, but im trying to get feedback from some of the drivers to get the real side of it and see if its as quoted. Only downside for me is its all company, no lease trks as of now. Figures being its paid on %, and not on mileage.

    The last thing on earth you want is a leased truck
    Doing oilfield work.
    Either buy a 12,000 beater truck,or be a company driver.
    There repair bills are huge.
