- It may seem repetitive, well yes it is! But to make that oilfield money you gotta stay on that grind! Come with me and watch how I get loaded, get to location, put on my PPE, unload, take off my PPE, get loaded again, put on my PPE, unload, take off my PPE .......etcetera. Please help me grow my channel and I will share much valuable and interesting content. Please go back and watch the previous video titled "I'm Back in the Oilfields!" ........also, watch for notifications of more videos to come and I PROMISE you will see some things that will knock your socks off!
I'm glad you're back. You are one of the first TH-camrs I found with frac sand hauling content. Thanks for being one of the positive trucking channels. So much trucker trash on TH-cam further tarnishing the industry. I'm in my 23rd rookie year of driving big trucks. Never stop learning and stay safe.
Thank you, Brian! I try to stay positive on my channel, i almost got sucked into the TH-cam drama chasing more views amd viewers but then realized what was happening! Thanku for your support
I came here to see how creepy the comments were. Shockingly every one I saw was respectful and courteous. I’m very happy.
Hahaha why would you think there would be creepy comments?
Great Video. Thank you for sharing. Brings back lots of good memories.
Brien Lee Thank you for watching! Things may never be the same unfortunately 😢
glad to see you back. i was at CIG in Jal new mexico now i am at black mountain in Kermit Tx.
I remember you! How are u doing? Did you like my footage of black mountain in the video? I have a picture like that on Google Maps. How do you like the new place that you work at?
@@femaleprofessionaldriver7650 well since the mines opened the rail facilities pretty much lost business, Black Mountain made a good offer so i took it, i work at the El Dorado Facility. the vids are looking good! i hope i run into you sometime at black mountain!!!!!!!
Good to see recent videos from you again!
Thank you for hanging in there and coming back to watch! Im going to try to do 1 every week. Some entertaining, some informational.
Very nice. Once again welcome back.
Nice video. It seems like a different type of trucking. Look forward to future videos. Stay safe out there.
Boy I don't miss the days of having to suit up but it is what it is good to see you back out again awesome video keep them coming
Easy work once you got know your equipment. It's the heat that's tough and even tougher at least for me was leaving my family back home in California. About to go do it again soon. Takes alot to live this life style that lots of people have no idea about. Great videos
Thank you for the compliment and thank you for watching. Yes, I agree on everything u said. Luckily, I happen to love the lifestyle. As far as easy, I somewhat agree, I feel it's easy to become good at it. Get on out here, things are already jumping off!!
@@femaleprofessionaldriver7650 yes, if we love what we do we can easily become good at it. So true. I've been hearing the same from my dad and brother, that its getting good. They're out in south texas, san Antonio area right now. I'm thinking I might b put there beginning Feb. Its bitter sweet for me. I LOVE trucking, being on the road but it's hard at the same time. It's an adventure for sure though. Them showers out next to mesquite trees or on the catwalk with a fuel can, water hose and a garden nozzle.....man hahaha
I take it that the particles in the air near by are toxic .... aka the reason for the breathing apparatus ..... Im wondering how far in distance and approx how long it takes to go from your load and unload locations
You are right, the respirator is because when ur blowing off sand out of a pneumatic trailer, it spews silica dust in the air. and silica dust is just tiny tiny shards of glass so if u breathe that in it can cut ur lungs and create scar tissue and then you’ll have “silicosis” and can’t breathe good like having emphysema. It is imperative to wear it, if anyone gets caught without their mask on (first of all they’re a dumbass, but also they get in trouble). No facial hair for men allowed also because of the respirator. And not everyone on the frac crew wears a respirator, just the frac sand haulers that are in close proximity to the stuff.
The distance…..it’s all pretty close by, they put a lot of sand mines around the Kermit/Monahans area so it’s usually around 30-90 miles for a load. If the well is pretty far out it could be 100-120 miles. On a FEW occasions we drove way out to van horn or Brady Tx, those loads were around 240 miles. Drivers can usually do 3 loads a day if they’re favored by dispatch (there, I said it!) if they hustle and if the well is running good. This is all for the Permian Basin that I’m speaking of in Weat Texas. I don’t know how it is in North Dakota or Pennsylvania. Thank you so much for watching my videos!!
Wow working woman lol
Oh wow. You are awesome
Just left West Tx and New Mexico I’m in South Texas for a month then heading to Pennsylvania be safe out there
Lemme know how Pennsylvania is! Thanku gor watching my video
Happy to see you back at it. Do you still have the same truck? Hopefully we’ll cross paths. Keep that rubber side down and that sunny side up. Happy trails
Not the green truck, although I see her now and then. I am in "sneaky Pete" now. A 2017 peterbilt 389 18 speed.
Oh ok, do you like that truck better? I had took a break from it for awhile. Due to a bad employer. But I’ll be back in it soon
@@robertjackson4692 Vanessa will always be my favorite truck forever, but I like this one also it's an 18-speed and very powerful. Who was the bad employer?
Female Professional Driver Crowley Services, filed paperwork with the state. And still never received any pay
Once in the oilfield you always come back. Gets in your blood.
Yes! I quit once cause i got upset about something......went home and cried and cried like i had had a bad breakup or something!😂😂😂
Can I do this work part time as a retiree? Assuming I own my own truck, work about 20 hrs per week on the weekdays; can I still generate a profit in this industry? This work would be ideal for me if I can work at any time throughout the day and on my own schedule
Not really
@@femaleprofessionaldriver7650 thanks you for the reply. What would you recommend for my situation as an o/o?
Watch out for any long-haired Vikings.
Lol
I was out here before any vikings came. Lol, I've been doing this for over 3 years and definitely know how to handle certain situations.....😉😉👍
You are such an inspiration, thanks for sharing your experience with us!!!
I've been driving trucks for 2yrs now and I love it! 1 yr otr 1 yr local. I really want to get into the oilfield, any advice on how to go about it. And other than my driving experience should I also first get some experience with my tanker and hazmat endorsements?
Thank you for watching! U don't even need a tanker endorsement for dry bulk (sand). So ur already good there. With ur experience ur good to go! Google frac sand jobs or go to Craigslist in an oil patch area. Dallas Ft. Worth Craigslist also has a lot of ads. Stay away from the mega carriers that have a tanker division (low pay). Sandbox rates are a little lower than pneumatic, so the good money is in pneumatic but it's harder work.
SharingBlessings 365 I’m looking for a driver for my truck. HMU if interested. Sandbox
Sand Revolution in Midland treats us drivers great!
I’m a sand coordinator in West Texas
What company are u with? Do u like being a sand coordinator?
Love the videos. If you see a Viking-Werewolf out there with big Mule teeth please use extreme caution and run the other way.
Hahahahaha😂😂
Honestly there were so many people out here in the oilfields LOOONNNNNG before him (including me). I had the best mentor ever back in 2016. He taught me how to run, how to drive an 18 speed, all kinds of valuable knowledge, AND ALL FOR FREE!!!
Female Professional Driver great response. Stay strong , loving the videos!
Were u one of his victims?
Female Professional Driver LOL no!! We have our own Authority there is nothing that job hopper can tell us that would be useful. Nor would we ever dream of paying him for a coaching call! However I do believe the woman that came forward , they had no reason to lie and put themselves out there like that. I dislike people that take advantage of others.
He is quite unpopular and what alot of veteran truckers point out is that he is practically a ROOKIE charging money for trucking advice, and giving wrong, sometimes dangerous advice at that! That is my pet peeve.....people giving wrong info acting like they know everything.
Thanks for this video. I was hauling crude oil in Jal, NM for a short time but I'm looking into sand haul in Odessa. What are other things i should look for or ask about as it pertains to hauling sand? Thank you.
You must be hauling silicon sand
O PS would like to see more of the bikini shot out in the ocean there you know how us old trashy truck drivers are right
