    This was my crew. Frac operators in Alberta are on the road 220-280 days a year. You make great money but sacrifice basically your whole life to get it. Do it for 2-4 years, get your money and get out is my advice to anyone. 10 year employee

    I miss this sometimes , I was a blender tender and a pump operator for BJ Hughes in the early eighties . I miss swinging a sledge till someone yelled Iron ! Meaning it was ringing and tight. I also learned to handle an 18 wheeler and shift a 13 speed properly

    If you don’t care about your friends or family you can become rich af especially if you’re single. My strategy was Tanker water hauling. Flat rates at no less then 25 % per load 30 % was gravy. But fuck reefer trucking can kiss my ass. The highest in demand division their is but also the most miserable. Gotta slide tandems and be great at back no fuck all that. Tanker was my favorite.
