Shit in Washington state on some of these hill's in Seattle specifically Mercer island... it's just bedrock and panhard. Heat or pressure ain't cutting through that. Most it took me three hours to dig two feet that needed to go down seven feet. That crazy rich Australian dude was just a dick. Tried to tell me to leave the truck there and he'll put more water in from a garden hose. I said no. Want my to dump what I dug on your property? He says no. I'm going home then and he even wanted the rig to stay there. Dude might have been smoking some peyote or something. Worse job ever. Anyi damn that thing is loud!!!
I have been driving 130bbl vacuum tractor trailers for over 10 years. Right now top pay is about 24-25 dollars and hour in the Eagleford. Buuuuuuuuuuttt I just saw an advertisement on hydrovacs for 27-30 an hour with some travel to the Permian. Is that about industry standard on hydrovacs? Eric here in Karnes City, Texas thanks.
It should be more but if you're with a company that makes you have a "laborer" it's way less. I prefer to work by myself but I ain't doing it for less than 30. Plus maintaining your own rig and equipment plus driving should get better pay. It not flipping mc crappy burgers on those jobsites
@@44punisherable went to the crude hauling side and it's by the load at this particular company and I average $34.00-48.00 an hour now sometimes more and on occasion a little less. Probably won't head back to vac trucks. This is way to easy, should have made the move 16 years ago when I broke off in the oilfield.
It's gravy you will get use to it. If not come south where we have h2s, everything is automated so no more climbing tanks no need for your gauge line, thief, wood back or any of it. They set up your truck with a sample line now, we get a sample at 3-15 bbls heat it up still then spin it. We also fill our graduated cylinder through the sample line, they have a "live well" installed on the loading nipple so you can get a temp at 30bbls and 150bbls and we call that top and bottom temp and of course the observed with the hydrometer. I promise it's all gravy in the Eagleford. A couple of mom and pop locations still require you to hard strap the tank batteries but really no more working oil from the top.
How much would a job like that pay you guys in the USA? 300 yards or so at a yard deep would pay about 9000$ in Aus. Did it take long to do that trench?
Damn, all that hydro for a trench and a hole, pretty expensive. Alternative would be utilizing an excavator instead if you had all the U/G services on GIS at hand and a good spotter.
I have zero knowledge of this industry but I really appreciate how precise and clean it cuts in the ground. Pretty cool!
Some fine work with the vac truck.
That's gotta be the sickest vacing I've ever seen amazing boys
I'm new to the industry, and I would love to have those skills. Wow
woah woah woah, where are all the rocks !? I operate in BC around vancouver and I've never seen earth like that.
Lol easy digging come up to northern Alberta when it's all rock and frost
I agree that looks like perfect ground. I did 5 years in northern Alberta now in b.c nothing but rocks
