Well produced video. Shows exactly what running a load requires. Thanks brother for taking the time to create and sharing this.
I moved oil rigs back in the 1960s Northern Alberta , Canada plus hauled. drill pipe, shacks. , drill collars. , pumps. Northern Alberta. in the winter mostly -40. below weather. also had too put a. set of. triples ( tire chains on) especially toward springtime I think hauling that frac sand. other than the dust flying around 24/ 7 and heat and cold. conditions looks like a good gig ( job that is ) keep that. Texas oilpatch going. / have a. good trip. and work day , / Bill S ( Canada )
Thanks for this. Great editing.
Bro. This brings back great memories.
This is a helpful insight.

@@1xxXdarkXxx1 negativo ninguna compañía quiere chavalos con menos de 21, por que la aseguranza esta bien cara
Great video! I don’t do frac sand anymore and I think I can say I don’t miss it. But it was good times while I was there.
Agree, Don’t miss it one bit
😂😂😂
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk lmao why not?
@@can1beatme bro I was stranded with a load for days because the oil well had exploded and they took like a week to repair it. No detention pay nothing.
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk damn that sucks bro. There’s jobs over here in Houston bro if you need on
Ha! Looks like High Crush in Kermit.
When I rant he Permian I never had to deal with those towers; had pneumatic hatch so I could open and close the ground; its been a few years has the sand boxes pretty much taken over everything now
Awesome video! Anyone have info on truck driving jobs in Midland?
My friend did this and said his days were hit and miss. I bet it's gonna get more trucks with all the 2010s and olders being kicked outta California with their stupid laws.
The last time I was in Califorina I was very careful, not to lose anything so that I wouldn’t have to go back looking for it.
I live near where you were hauling
Seems like a pretty chill way to make 60k a month. 🤣
$60k a month gtfo of here 🤣
Thanks for the video man. Is there much chaining up down there ?
For this job no chains at all, its pretty much just latches the box is like a container
I mean tire chains brother.
@@brademery3128 I figured, I never saw anybody chain during the snow season. however when it snows, the oil wells will shut down. Trucks are not allowed in or out of the site. If your inside the site and it starts to snow a lot. They will not let you leave until it clears, even if you have chains.
Crazy… thanks for the info bro. 🤙
I know this place is off of kermit, tx. I use to work water hauling. How is frac sand jobs out there any news.?
Thats right. Not sure how the frac sand is going, I came back to California in March and didn’t return to tx for franc sand
Good post Luis
Question about the rear camera. What setup is that??
sunworship8 I put a gopro with a flex clamp, I attached it to a mount that is used for light beacons in the back. But with the flex clamp you can put it almost anywhere
Thx excellent setup
iPhone 13 because of the invention soon iPhone will be used for backups 😂
Hey Luis I know it varies but can u please say and aprox of how much they pay per load.
Cause Im thinking of going there but don’t trust any recruiter in trucking so please let me know.
I’m totally transparent when it comes to all of this, honestly last time I worked there was pre pandemic so its been a while. Honestly the prices would actually lower like few times a month. I don’t remember the exact numbers honestly. The further you go the more they pay the load. Sometimes they would only give 2 or 3 loads a day
Yeah 2 loads 650 and your fuel is 350 ,300
A day is not killing it
Mr Luis si you doing!!! What did you think Sisu energy llc from Fort Worth Tx let me know please if you can thanks

Garcia, hows the frac sand hauling now making money ? How many loads can you average in 12 to 14 hrs.? Thanks
I quit frac sand over a year ago now and i really don’t know how its going for others. Between 12-14 hours it really depends sometimes 2-3 trips and sometimes only 1
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk thank you
Are you still hauling and if so what is it you doing. I want to invest in trucking where the $$
@@coreyfrazier6410 yes I’m actually filming a video today, should be up this sunday. I’m doing end dump trailer again hauling dirt and aggregates here in nor-cal
@@coreyfrazier6410 with the pandemic I wouldn’t know where the money is exactly at right now. End dump is almost seasonal because of the rain the work slows down a lot
Saludos, que sucede si olvidas cerrar la puerta del sandbox arriba luego de cargar?
No Mas work
I have been hearing that work has dried up out there have you noticed any decline in your loads per day or pay ?
Kosi Caruth oh yea, work has dried up dramatically. I came from California about a month ago to work and already heading back by the end of March.
Kosi Caruth I’ve been doing 2 loads a day if I’m lucky
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk So is now not a good time to go into the oilfield or can you still make some kind of living ?
Kosi Caruth Definitely not good right now to jump into the oilfield. West texas is an expensive region to live because of the oil fields. Also its long hours working here because the wells work 24/7 and waiting hours sometimes days for a load from dispatch. Drivers don’t really live in Midland or odessa. Majority are out of state, they make money and go back home. From what I’ve heard from many drivers is that work slows down MORE in June until January
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk wow ok thank you for the info I guess I'll stay with my current job then good luck to you
Hey Bro. You don’t mind to let me know how I can find this job. What website to searching ?
You can google west texas frac sand trucking jobs. A bunch of companies will pop up
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk I’m appreciated you.
How much you making a load? Better to get paid by load or hour?
Its paid by the load, but I was a owner op. If you are a company driver you probably get paid by the hour
Teach me how to drive the trailer please !! Great video btw
I want to learn to drive a trailer then go get my CDL license but idk anybody with a trailer :(
@@juliocesaranez3853 both Roehl & CR England could help you out
Just got hired for this and curious
@CRE8TIVE SOULUTIONS CORP
Easy work but I'm 1099
I drive for owner operator
@Eric Manso how much the truck making a week?
Do you recomend moving to texas and apply for a job there. I drive a super 10 dump truck in cali, $29 phr no benefits no OT ,tag to tag.
orozcooscar33 No way, these texas jobs are not good right now. The oil is low and theirs pretty much no work in the oil field right now.
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk wow! Ok ,thanks.
I was motivated to move there because of the cheap housing.
orozcooscar33 houses are pretty cheap. But west texas is not so nice. Fort worth is a nice place
@@orozcooscar33 I hate it here in tx but Luis right fort worth is much nicer like night and day
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk hola como esta este trabajo en texas. Me invitan para alla soy de california
How many trips do you do per day brother
When I was still doing this job over a year ago I was getting around 2-3 loads per day. a lot of time spent at the loading plants and also unloading.
Acavo de agarrar mi CDL aseptan entry-level en el frack sandbox..?
Casi la mayoría es dueño operador, pero pues buscar alguien que busque chofer o encontrar una compañia que te pueda agarrar. Como acabas de agarrar la CDL tu aseguransa sera cara y unas compañias no te podran agarrar
how can i get more info from you on your time in the oil field
Feel free to ask anything
Feel free to ask anything
@Nando Mojito this is in west texas, exactly Monahans tx, but this job is all over from big springs to odessa tx
Hey luis looking to move from California Iam a transfer driver for sand and gravel any tips on jobs around Austin TX, or we’re the $ @. Thank you for your content
I’ve never been to Austin tx so I couldn’t tell you where to look for jobs. However i know that material plants always need transfer trucks. Try looking into material plants and see if they need drivers or also search up Texas Disposal System, they hire drivers
How much does a load pay to truck
It varies by miles from 100 for a certain distance up to 500, they would also constantly lower the prices many times
How much do they pay you? You get paid by load? Or by the hour?
I don’t work there anymore, but they pay by the load
How much?
@@surgelottomusic1468 everyload was different, it’s been 2 years since i worked there I don’t remember the prices. They were decently paid but a lot times they would cancel the loads or make you wait a long time to get loaded or unloaded. It’s very time consuming
Luis Garcia nice bro.. I just started working loading/unloading pneumatic tanks but he’s paying me $50 a load sadly.. I only have 2 weeks with my cdl
@@surgelottomusic1468 how long does it take you to unload/load a trailer?
What company do you work for
JW Parker
Does this job hire with no driving exoierence?
Some companies just require you to be 21 years of age
What's your experience in trucking?
M Jz I got my license almost 2 years ago at the age of 20, started off with my cascadia day cab pulling an end dump trailer mainly for hauling dirt to the landfills sometimes concrete. Also hauled a high side trailer used for demolition jobs and trash. Did fracsand in the beginning of this year then the pandemic closed everything and came back to do end dump and high sides trailers
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk Thanks for getting back with me! 2 years of experience pretty good! Would you work for a trucking company with touchless freight for 1k -1.5k a week?
How can I Hook up with a company that provides housing, was thinking about hauling fractured sand but I'm from Maui!
Hoolehua Rayzed I don’t believe any company offers housing in the frac sand field. Especially because in frac sand you are mostly a third party or a contractor
INDEED search...Frac Driver/ Oil fields 👌
Are they OK with us carrying side arms?
I’m pretty sure they don’t allow weapons at the loading plants or at the wells but maybe you can get away with concealed
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk so is the money (owner operator) really as high as they say it is ? 60 to 80k a month?
@@ThisTruckingLife I did this job over 2 years ago, I’m not doing it anymore. But 60k a month I never saw that.
Bro, como dueño de camión que compañía me recomiendas para frac sand ?
La uniqua compañía que recomendaría para dueño seria una que se llama W&W.
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk w&w logístic? Tienes información de cómo los contacto a ellos, estaba hablando con una que se llama OMMA pero no se el porcentaje es muy alto
@@franciscomorel3835 yo nunca les trabaje por que yo no calificaba por mi edad. Pero mucha jente me los recomendaba. Yo trabajaba con otra compañia que se llamaba JW parker. Pero no me gusto por que varias veces me canselavan varios viajes
Are you O/O ? I wanna get in to oil field got 4yrs experience
At that time I was driving for my brother
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk you guys need drivers?
What part of Texas is this?
West texas. This was recorded in monahans tx
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk you be in midland and odessa a lot? what was the rate per load and total miles for the loads?
@@_atlas007 yes i was all around that area, the furthest I would go would probably an hour out. La meza too. I can’t remember the prices. They pay depending how far the load is. It would he in ranges a fixed price. They would constantly change them. When I was there they lowered the prices twice
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk you got paid for one way or was it a hour trip but round trip pay? (Getting paid 1k for there and back, instead of $500 there driving 100 miles and $500 back 100 miles) hope I’m not confusing you
@@_atlas007 it was not round trip paid. From the place you pick up loaded to its destination they would only pay that distance.
Hola hermano me puedes recomendar una compañia seria para trabajar alli porfavor , gracias saludos
Te recomiendo una compañia que se llama W&W, yo no les trabaje pero si escuche muchas cosas buenas de ellos. Mucha jente me decia que me metiera que ellos pero yo no calificaba por mi edad
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk gracias in millon hermano saludos !!!
Oye Luis puedo trabajar ahí con mi camión y licencia federal B
Necesitas la licencia A para manejar traila con camion. Pero escuche que puedes sacar la licencia internacional y tambien asi puedes trabajar
La que tengo es la internacional comercial B , crees que me puedas dar algún número de la compañía para aplicar
@@mananaviernes3544 la verdad no tengo numeros de nadien aya, por que ya tengo años que no trabajo aya. Pero esta una compañia que se llama W&W en west texas y escuchado que es una buena compañía
You got a gps telling u where to go right
I would only use google maps on my phone and never failed. Apple maps wasn’t great for this job
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk have u tried other apps
@@realitytruth5175 TruckMap is a good app that I’ve used before definitely worth trying
@@LuisGarcia-tg4hk thx also I'm in high school would like to do that job I understand it's like living in a truck or work up to 70 hours per week, any advice on what my steps should be like
@@realitytruth5175 it is pretty much like living in a truck but as long as you got stuff to do on your down time in the truck you should be fine. Find things to keep you entertained while resting in the truck
