    hello, guys I am looking to start a crude oil, water hauling and frac sand transportation business. I have no knowledge of the business and i have never been an operator, or driver or owned or driven a truck. I would appreciate an insight on how to get into the business preferable the texas market? Any suggestions

    about 30 mins to an hour. plains marketing called me back as soon as i hit send on the computer no lie and the next a.m. As i stated in the other thread i wanted something in the feild like cement to maixmize my earning potential while I'm in my late 20' with no kid but if this is what i have to take to get my foot in the door than so be it. for those that are interested chalk starts at 18.00 hr , the 1500 is paid out in 500 increments, you work 12 hr shifts, average btw 58-68 hr a week, and you start over night, all you have to do is a road test and submit the application and pass the drug test. all this is for san antonio i know they are looking for a lot of drivers along with schneider and i see nabors has a lot of postions to feel as well.
     
    kee1227 Thanks this.

    Hey guys/gals,
    Has anyone worked for chamberlain and bush? Would you recommend them? I've been hauling fuel for fracs in W Texas but it's been mostly bobtails & pups. Need some experience in T/T to get on with a fuel company out of Dallas. Thanks for the assist. Be safe.
