Think I’d take a pass on that gig. Local means you’re home every night, not guarding priceless grains of sand.

He’s in Texas, a big state with plenty of windshield time to be had, so could possibly justify running a sleeper. That leaves the question of how many times a week are we standing that trailer up?
If it’s more than two or three, than I’m in your camp. I’m not running 5 or 6 loads a day out of the same pit in a sleeper truck.Frank Speak, austinmike and motocross25 Thank this. -
Sand companies in the Permian Basin have the drivers follow the frac crew. You stay with your truck unless you are ‘on home time’. No driving your truck/trailer back to the yard, unless you are going on ‘home time’. No ‘slip seating’.
