Whats involved with hauling water in texas??

So you earn about $19/hr (on average) plus insurance. Is that a good wage in your area? It does seem to support what Chibob said, "I used to make $21hr hauling dust. I've been hearing that frac sand doesn't pay very well anymore."

 

My mortgage is $693. a month and utilities run about $450.(electric,gas,cable,water,trash and sewage) so yes it is a very good wage.I know drivers that make way more but we do not need to work nor want to work that much.Nor do I want to spend nights on end sleeping at a well site.

 

I haul water. Our company starts at $19 an hour. It's easy work. Average 25-30 miles per load.

I work 4 days on, then take 2 days off. I go home to my family every day.

Hauling crude pays about the same around here, if you can get on with an oufit that pays by the hour instead of a percentage of the load. If you're going to haul crude, drive for the oil company, do not drive for a contractor or third-party carrier.

 

New here. I have 11years trucking over the road. 7yrs dry van,3yrs chemical tank, 1yr food grade tank. no accidents, no tickets in 10 plus years. however I have not driven otr in 7 years. can anyone give me names, locations, phone numbers of companies hauling water or sand out of corpus christi, kennedy, or cotulla, texas? thanks much-great forum

 

You need to spend time reading these forums. It may take you several days/weeks but all the info is here. That's what I did & thanks to the great advice here I landed an 80k per year job as a NEW driver.

 

Are you hauling water? Out of what yard?

 

I haul crude in San Angelo, TX

 

Thanks for the response. Been thru there a time or 20. Looking to stay a down in south texas though.

 

Check sunoco logistics I'm pretty sure they are hiring there and even though they are commission pay you can make good money if you work hard ie 6th day & pick up extra loads..

 

Hey RockinChair - I see listed your location as the Alamo. Are you working out of San Antonio?
