I highly recommend all you drivers out there to get your own authority as soon as possible and if you have the knowledge and smarts to go after your own customers then do it. That's where the real money is.
Excellent advice señor!
How does it work in the frac sand hauling business do you need your own MC number to get contracts ?? Thanks
Thank you brother
I work security at the gates going into the locations. I've seen high wait times like you're saying. Seen some wait up to 13 hours to drop their load. I've worked in other locations and seen some run 8 to 10 loads a day. In and out all day, running those trucks almost 24 hours before they take a break. Like you said, depends on how far they have to drive to pick up their load and if anything on location breaks or goes down.
Great informative video. Short and concise
Glad you liked it!
Good show very informative thanks
Thank you!
Great video 💪🏾
Thank you senior!
Great 👍 video bro 😎
Hola werita loco, thanks for sharing b safe BLESSINGS!
Thanks for the video very informative, looking forward to move there to work hauling sand, by the way new to your channel, i just subscribe bro.
Sounds like a great job for an older but not elderly person as well.
Informative video thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment!!
Great information on frac sand hauling.
Is there chatter in oilfield about oil prices/recession/oilfield slowdown? (Maybe this could be a video idea). What happens if oil prices keep sliding down ($67 as I write this)? What are the first signs or layoffs in oilfield? Do water haulers have to worry? Will your producing wells that you service slow down or be shut down? Have you been through an oilfield slump?
Btw, I start my "first day" this afternoon at a big agricultural coop and using my new CDL.
Thanks for doing these videos, keep up the good work!
@El Effe Congratulations 🎉 thanks for your support! I’m actually been thinking about that topic alot. I’m sure a slowdown may be coming with all this financial turmoil in the market lately. I appreciate all of your suggestions!
@eleffe5587, congrats on the new job. What do you guys haul? Grain?
@@WeroLocoTrucking , as long as "Cold War 2.0" is going on, oil price will remain high. This current price is just temporary. The closer we get to the summer, the higher oil price will go.
@@user-iw1wp6em3j yes, grain but also fertilizer & chemicals.
Great info I’m in Tallahassee Florida looking to move to Odessa to drive sand trucks
That’s awesome man, it will be a cultural shock for sure.
Man don't move out here texas is full
Nice video, I got all endorsements, no restrictions on Lic. , have 11m experience in Foodservice, I'm located in NC, where to apply for 3weeek on ? Thx Robert
Easy to learn? Thinking about going to nd
Do you ever see guys in day cabs hauling sand ? Thanks
I saw this. Came here to read comments to see if they bashed field engineers, QCs, sand pushers, or dispatchers 😂
Ya forget to mention.... driving any time... all the time with no schedule. I always got bumped to night runs. Sleep during hot ass days, trying to find a parking spot and showers maybe once a week! Maybe the best.... Sleep on a 4 inch thick, smashed down chunk of foam? The good life.... not!
Yeah must have forgot to mention that small detail lol 😂
Trucking is not for everyone, find your lane and enjoy it!
Do you know if any of these companies will help out of state drivers find housing?
Hello
What companies are hiring right now in Carlsbad ?
Can you provide a website
I’ll appreciate if you can do that
Thank you
Frac money was good 5yrs ago best money I’ve ever made as a company driver. Haliburton drove the rates down. Pioneer was good, Odessa/midland is overcrowded
Yeah I remember that! We used to do a lot of work for Pioneer! Good Company!
Where is the money today?
Where to apply for somebody just starting off? I am moving to Odessa Texas in a couple of months
@@Bigtrucker1981 if you wanna do oilfields trying being a floor hand or something. Stay away from sand try water hauling or oversized hauling
I just left Kermit Tx shit was horrible rates right now are 125-160 a load lucky if u get 2 a day
What LOADBOARD do you use to find this kind of load
How do i get in
.i have no CDL..is there any company train new drivers??
What company to get on with to haul water in Shreveport la
What have you heard about FilaMar? I’m an owner operator and just got all my certifications done. FilaMar is saying all the right stuff. But seems too good to be true. Hauling Sand Boxes out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
I haven’t heard to much about Filamar. Boxes have been very busy out in Texas. I’d say try it out, you’ll probably need to run a little dirty at times.
Wait.... so instead of waiting around, couldn't I be a helping hand to reduce that waiting time? If it means getting an extra load or two in each day on top of the usual, more profit in my pocket is what I'm looking for.
I hauled sand in Louisiana with my own hopper and then hauling the boxes in Louisiana and South/East Texas. My truck is pre ELD so I ran 24/7. Basically every 8 hrs i would nap 4-5 and then back on it. You pick somewhere for your "home" place and run time sheets. The ELD guys would cry but I was there to make money, not friends. It went really good until brokers brought in more trucks. 20 trucks can get along together but 45 meant dipshits throwing trash, parking where their not supposed etc. You have to remember, there is money to be made so companies with alot of trucks will throw anybody in a truck. One truck in Louisiana got busted for ALOT of drugs. Three in texas got busted for smuggling people. The lease roads in Texas will break your truck at 10 mph. Oil pans, leaf springs, tires/rims, bumpers, are usually the victims. East Texas is REALLY expensive for owner operators. Front wheel bearing went out. The cheapest was quoted at $17,000 and you usually do both at the same time so it jumped to $25,000.00. I hauled it back home to Minnesota and paid my mechanic $14,000.00. So be carefull. Good money brings the scams, thieves, and anything else to mess, rob, steal, and screw you out of that money. there's fights, saw one guy beat another with his hard hat (that's why my hard hat has a blood splatter design). Now I haul water for wind tower projects. More money, hourly wage with 2 two trucks.
I couldn’t agree with you more! People will scam you for sure, or charge a ridiculous amount because they know that you have no where else to go. It sucks that no one can do work for an honest price!
Hit me up it's s.o.s right now
Pre ELD doesn’t mean you can work 24/7.
@@matthew6202 For you maybe but I was there for the money and that's what I intended to do.
@@jwilliams99999 yeah I get that. Shouldn’t be any reason a guy can’t make what he needs in 14 hours a day though. I see roll overs and wrecks on the daily here of people hauling sand. Number one cause of it is the people have been out hauling for 20 hours or more. Surely not worth losing everything or risking other peoples lives and your freedom because of your want to make money. You want more money buy more trucks.
Were do I sign up?
you didn't mention the best part of the job. using the portapotty!
minus 5 pts 😋
Do the company you work for have man camps
Sir can you give the link that hire new Class A driver please
Hey man I was working in ND for an owner operator didn’t go well. I’m back home in Texas thinking about just driving up to West Texas and do walk in plus there’s a job fair. My question is do you think it’s a good time for that cuz I keep hearing about stuff slowing down all over the place
Shoot me an email and I’ll give you my number! LeMaster.Robert@icloud.com
Curious, why didn't it work out with the owner operator?
Wich company you joined In ND Bro And What happened I’m trying to Ho there can tell best company to work for I that area Ang how is the road condition if you don’t mind
Thanks
Not sure you did or not let these owner operators know the dirt roads ain't no joke,,,they can be bad and tare up the truck easy,,,can get very expensive and long waits to get truck fixed as well...pray you don't ever need a tow off the lease roads either...i been out their a few times,,fell into a huge pot hole with a freightliner classic and busted oil pan on a cat motor, expensive...
I hear you, I have done busted numerous shocks, oil pans and leaf springs working out here. I don’t think I ever mentioned that most O/O buy Junk trucks for less than 15k
I’m waiting on a well right now to get my box offloaded lol. The pay is a lot more than you are saying if you are owner operator.
I’m waiting on a compatible call me back right lol. The only problem is I don’t want to give up my authority.
Yes I’m I’m sure it is, what are the rates for O/O right now?
@@craigbeats1498 hey are you able to stay with your authority? I want to try it out as well but not have to give up my authority?
Can u give info on owner operator loads?
@@IMBETTERDANU yes, you need to have your own authority to run. I have two trucks on now.
Can someone recommend a company? Im out here right now and its sad.
Is the oilfield picking back up? I drove sand in 2021 and fuel in 2022 minutes n that Midland/Odessa area . When I was there it was slow
I’d say work is more spread out! Lots of work around Carlsbad and Jal! Also Mentone has been busy with Oxy taking over Anadarko
How much is the pay if you're an owner operator. I was a roughneck for 2 years. And always was jealous of the truckers making more then me and not even breaking their backs. Im about to go to school and get my class a cdl. But eventually i want to gain some experiance then work on getting my own truck and start hauling frac sand
Not exactly for sure, I would guess around 6-7k gross per week if you can do 3 loads a day. I’d say around a $1500 fuel bill. I remember pay used to be better back in 2016 but over the years has dropped off. That is a good goal to keep, I always say invest into something you enjoy doing.
Hey I live in Florida Tampa and I just graduated and deep in debt and I'm trying to get out the hole fast and I got my CDL from 160 driving academy 2 weeks ago. What do you think I should and where I should go. I want to make the big bucks and I don't give a shit what I have to do. But I don't have my hazmat or any endorsement on my license yet and I don't drive manual stick shift yet I only drive automatic
what you do now
@@baysouth-jv3sh I work for the city/Feds. I drive a garbage truck 🚛 I make pretty decent money to be honest
What's the name of your company ?
Do you usually go A to B and repeat . How does that usually work. Thanks
Yes, for sand, pickup then deliver. Repeat until you can’t go anymore. Most of them get creative with the time sheets, ELDs are not common.
Would like to get started in hauling frac sand. Have 15 months experience. All endorsements but have an automatic restriction. Any company would hire someone with a restriction? Thanks
I'm in the same boat as you. I got an interview with a company and they have auto and manual.
Makes sense to why all the dry van drivers are running to the oilfield
@Wet Willy yes there are a lot of them coming, I see that some big carriers like western Flyer are putting OTR guys out here to haul sand.
Do u need manual exp.
I just got hired to do sand box in big Springs did one load and then my truck broke down now I'm back in Houston
Sounds like some oilfield problems there! Can you say who you were working for?
@@WeroLocoTrucking
It's a 1099 so I'm working underneath an owner operator and I get like percentage of load
I think a sandbox logistics, but like I said owner operator
Oh damn! It’s hit or miss with O/Os! Dude these trucks out here here drive me nuts! Did you go back OTR or you coming back, water hauling has been pretty good, that’s actually what I do!
@@WeroLocoTrucking
Oh, I'm gonna go back after when he fix the truck. It in Odessa getting work on take over month... Meanwhile, unfortunately work with Swift can't go back to Schneider laugh out loud .
Yeah people do drive crazy out there Also the roads are crazy at the wells a long ass unload in time, then you have to beep the horns at people in front of you because they feel asleep waiting too long.
Yeah, over there in West Texas there's a whole bunch of jobs out there but that's cool water hauling
Yeah man it’s not surprising why all the trucks are tore up, just drive down a lease road for a mile or two. Something is bound to fall off at some point.
I’m a new CDL driver, been OTR Reefer for about 6 months. I want to become an owner operator but I have no clue the Ins and Outs of being one. I know there’s endless opportunities tho such as HAULING FRAC SAND. And of course much better pay. Would love to learn more !
Absolutely man! I’ll talk more about O/O side of the business. Thanks for your support!
@@WeroLocoTrucking thanks so much! Best thing about small channels is they actually respond lol, looking forward to it and stay safe driver

Anybody know any good info on Detmar logistics in midland Texas? Got offered the job and wanting to know how it is over their
Did you take it? If so how is it so far?
@@davt333 never did man. Had a bad gut feeling about it. Plus winter is coming so I decided to stay where I’m at
I am hauling containers up here in the Seattle area and I have heard that some sand frac owner operators can make 10k a week. Do you know if this is true or is it just hearsay?
I’ve heard them making 8k a week here in Texas
Idk if you can help me out man. I have my own authority and I'm interested switching over to hauling sand. Do you happen to know any companies I can be set up as a carrier.
Prestige Logistics Group, but the insurance requirements are to expensive, best thing is to probably lease on somewhere!
Hello
Are any of the trucks automatic or all manual?
I have a restriction
Trying to get it off..
I would say 80% in the oilfield are manuals fam unless they are tandems those are mostly autos
Is this hard on the truck? Is the terrain tuff ?
Absolutely! Not as hard as some other jobs but you still go down some sketchy lease roads!
Frac sand in vernal utah pays $10k a week
COmpany?
Sandbox, hopper, or Pneumatic?
Wow, what companies are paying that? Can I get there information?
BS
You also go on Fishing trips every Friday.
Back 5 years ago it was paying way more than you said, the pneumatic guys were getting the the best pay then the sand boxes came out the rates dropped due to they easiness of them. Then Trump gout out of office it went to hell in a hand basket with the oil field stuff from the guys I know.
Should have been out there in 2011-2014. Made bookooz 💰. Now it’s pennies compared to then.
I’d agree, been out here since 2015. Things are definitely different than they used to be. It’s alot harder to make it worth it. It used to be easy as hell to gross 4K a week and now it’s getting harder.
Craigslist, LinkedIn, Facebook, any job posting sites
Do they take in new cdl holders?
You may need to apply at several places but I’m sure someone will hire you! If not get some OTR experience at least 6 months.
What’s a good water hauling company to get on with I’d rather stay in the truck and be by myself
Man if you don’t have experience, I’d say Pate Trucking or Equipment Transport, get some experience then move on to something that pays more. Once you get out here you will figure out really quick who pays good!
@@WeroLocoTrucking i hauled crude oil in Montana & North Dakota for 3 years would like to find something like your doing i like being by myself
Are they hiring where your at? I got my tankers but i have an auto restriction on my cdl im out here in andrews and its hard to find a company that will let me work for them because if that! I got a year experience hauling reefer otr .
They are hiring but all are trucks are standard, no automatics. Can you get that restriction taken off of your CDL?
@@WeroLocoTrucking I'm going to have to that seems like the only logical way out here lol 😅 but I appreciate ya bro ! And love the content
What’s the name of your company?
im currentl;y making a career switch from restaurant buisness to oilfeild. My current contract is over in may just tryniogn to get in a enrty level job
Do you have a CDL?
@@WeroLocoTrucking no sir
If You were to go back to frac sand hauling, who would you like to work for? Are there companies that are (word of mouth) better than the rest?
I'm applying to several now.
Not really they come and go so frequently. W&W was a good company but they got bought out. WTS was also great before they started leasing on O/O. Prestige is the only one that I know with a lot of contracts.
Question, how much do o/o make out there?
Anywhere from 5k to 10k gross depends on company and what your doing, some jobs are harder that others!
What type of certification is required to be on the pad? I'm an O/O looking to lease on and Ive been told PEC, PEC with H2S, or Safeland and maybe need CPR, but nobody says EXACTLY whats needed or if there is a specific type. The site I was told to go on has 7 different types of cert classes, so still a little confused on that part.
The only thing that I know is required is PEC Safeland and H2S Certificate with a bump tested H2S Monitor! That is usually all you need, most companies you go to work for provide all necessary certs for their customers!
What is haul O/O pay Hopper vs Pneumatic and are you in Texas or Dakotas?
@@antwonewilkes8831 pneumatic is being phased out. Other trailers can carry more and unload in mere minutes as opposed to 20 - 45 min per truck
@@richardspillers6282 what’s the pay like?
No, thank you. I will keep re-watching your water videos😅
Hi! I am a new CDL driver with no experience can I work hauling frac sand as an owner operator I wish to work with someone for free to get training
No. Most places require 2+ years. For good reason. Some of the roads to the site are sketchy.
Do you need to be a owner operator?
No, I’m a company driver. Sometimes they make more than owner operators!
Who is hiring I’m looking to get apply somewhere
A lot of companies are hiring, just go on indeed or Odesa Craigslist.
Do I have to relocate im in las vegas have all my endorsements? How long are you in the oil fields? And what's the pay like ?
You shouldn’t have to relocate, there are lots of people from out of state over here! Pay really varies from employer to employer. I did a few videos about trucking companies vs service companies!
@@WeroLocoTrucking appreciate the response 🏆🏆💯💯
I've been thinking about moving to Vegas. What's the trucking market like out there?
@Midnight Trucker is ok houses are beautiful not too high in price
I'm researching what oil field I wanna come too where they will train me im a fast learner did OTR wanna get into something different
Are you home every day or how often?
Right now every 21 days, home for 10 days
I’m Automatic restricted is that a problem?
I would get that restriction off! Some of Mesquite’s guys had to remove it. There is a lot of older trucks with sticks, it’s hard to find a company running all Automatics
Thanks for the info. Are the truck manual transmission? I gave automatic restriction.
Almost all are going to be 10 or 13 speed transmissions! A lot of older model trucks. I’ve only seen 2 automatic in all my years out there!
how many hours per day do you work
Definitely your entire 14 maybe a few more, I’m actually uploading another video about sand hauling now… should be up by tomorrow!
How much is an owner operator makes a week
Depends on what your doing, but average around 5 or 6k fuel bill somewhere around $1500
Where do i apply lol
Yea what he said
I drive for Walmart 😂 😢
Some people talk about 5,7 and 8 thousands dollar🤣
Not as a company driver
You’re a water hauler. How would you know about Frack Sand Hauling… if drivers like 50-70 hours of unpaid detention time while not sleeping. It’s the perfect job for the drivers hell bent on going bankrupt.
I’ve hauled sand before, your not going to have 50-70 hours of unpaid detention, and not every week. Also you can definitely sleep during that detention time. Most companies do pay detention, some don’t but most do after 2 hours. I’ve worked the oilfield and OTR for a long time and I know how everything works!
And yet we make just as much as you do. Js.
That’s great! Sand Hauling is just another job in the oilfield, not the best paying but it’s an easy job!
Yes it's a pretty simple job, as a company driver I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, if companies aren't paying hourly as most trucking positions are in the Oilfield, such as sand, that simply means they don't want to pay for your standby as an employee. And trust me it's alot of waiting. But for an O/O it's a decent gig that usually pays well.
How do I get on with one of these companies
Craigslist or Indeed
@@WeroLocoTrucking I appreciate that I saw that on the video right after I sent the message.
@@WeroLocoTrucking Are there companies out there I should be worried about
Anybody frac sand companies hiring for drivers? Looking to be a company driver
Check out FEVID, Monster Box or Chalk Mountain. I’m not sure what they are paying but I see their trucks everywhere and drivers seem happy to be with those companies.
G&Z Transport is hiring for sand haulers in Brighton, CO and Farmington, NM.
Curious why are you talking about frac Sand
But you’re hauling water
I’m letting everyone know what jobs are available in the Oilfield, I’ve spent alot of time out here since 2015 and just want to be as transparent as possible with the current conditions. Also I’ve hauled sand before with pneumatic and it isn’t as good as it was.
They want u to run 2 logs....no thanks. I will stay with tankers.
Or no logs time sheet
Where arevthey hiring. I'm looking for work
Everywhere, you can hit that Craigslist or Indeed to find a job now. Do you have oilfield experience?
I’m up by Houston and the only place I found that was hiring tanker drivers is Halliburton. I’m currently hauling flatbed to deliver to the rigs and it’s too slow, I need something else that pays the bills.
Have you tried hauling water?
@@WeroLocoTrucking I haven’t, my only experience in the oilfield is taking directional tools on a flatbed but I have my tankers endorsement.
Try water, I think Equipment Transport and Press Energy are still hiring without water hauling experience.
If Trump becomes president again, oil field jobs should pick up again. He should ease up restrictions on domestic production like last time.
Please clip the zip ties on your mirror 😏😏
thanks for the video brother, i have the 2+ year class A driving, i've been offered a frac sand hauling job, in sand box, is it worth it ? this one is also 120 mile trips, it looks like a lot of waiting and little driving, i ask because i just got my tanker and hazmat endorsement, so i'm between sand and hazmat hauling, any suggestions i would really appreciate it, thank you.
Hazmat for sure man, if it was me I’d stay away from sand. Your not going to make money, the only way to make money in sand is to work 24 hours a day and running 120 mile and up is dangerous on no sleep.
@@WeroLocoTrucking that's what i thought man, 24 hrs. a day is not even legal, thank you so much brother.
I am in the same position what would i do ? What’s the best company to apply for owner operators for hazmat
You won’t be making much money when the market gets packed with people from this videos.
That’s ok, just trying to get some information out there. The oilfield is not for everyone most do not stay very long anyway, but it’s up to them to figure that out.
@@WeroLocoTrucking agree with that 👍
Boring
Frac Sand?
130 per load, 2-3 loads per day. Driver makes $2000, something don’t add up on rates per load.
What’s not adding up?
@@WeroLocoTrucking If the driver makes 130 per load seems ok, but owner operator should make way more to be able to pay the driver 2k
Hi!
I own a truck,I’d find a company to provide me loads, do you know any?
Let me know please
Are their different HOS rules in TX oil fields, or y’all just run outlaw?
