    Nothing like how we do it in Pennsylvania lol. Tight roads and no shoulders make things tricky. Our trucks are as wide as the lanes that we're passing in. I'd be in heaven driving on thise kind of roads lol

    @oillease1881 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Please keep your eyes on the road. RR 33 S of Garden City, Texas...if you don't mind. Sitting at the end of the line with a load of concrete culverts on a drop deck dove tail trailer a "guy", I won't say who, but he was about 7'4" who got out of the truck he ran up on mine with and jerked his wheel at the last second so my cab and I weren't flattened by his W900KW with a sand frac trailer.
    I could have really done without that . OTOH, he didn't seem to really care although both rigs had to be hauled away as did I...in the ambulance. It was really fun strapped to a back board with a damned deputy sheriff talking non-stop while I was in agony. I still pay for it every day.. The giant truck driver is still probably running over other trucks with his ear pods in and his phone in hand. You gotta love that. DPS asked me did I have on my seatbelt. Shit no I said, I'm still alive ain't I? Idiot govt. mandates seatbelts in big rigs when most of the time you'd be better off to be "out" of it.

    try putting a pie plate with arm and hammer bakin soda in the floor of your truck or if you dont have carpet just sprinkle on floor. Will take out petroleum smell big time. If arm and hammer can cure Northern Jersey smell , is one powerfull aid!

    How long did this one run take you? Also, how many hours of driving on average without traffic did you have to do between the loading and unloading areas in previous jobs?

    • @nickw900l
      @nickw900l  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      This run takes four to four and a half hours to round trip. Drive time is an hour and a half each way, so three hours. Here in Wyoming traffic isn't an issue, I only have three stop lights to deal with on this run.

  • @ttss5726

    If you have time would you be able to do a quick walk around of that trailer. I have seen them around in Wisconsin but don’t know anything about them. I know they haul fracking sand in northern Wisconsin but are those the same trailers they sometimes haul powered cement in?My second question is and don’t think I am mad or anything but what is it with everyone and this frac sand I thought they were starting to use something else besides sand.

    I drove a vacuum truck in the oilfields for many years. That was in the 70's. Then moved into hauling hazardous waste locally and then otr. I always made very very good money. I was able to buy three houses cash through the years and did retire early a few years ago. I got tired of all the increasing regs!

      David De Jesus no need to justify to idiots like that. Work hard get payed well and play hard. I'm just about 30 years old now and have worked in the oil fields as a mechanic and make a lot of money. Some get jealous some envy but most won't work the hours or time away from family that I do. I love it and plan to leave it eventually. Take care

    I had herd that felons can be truck drivers for expedited and that theirs a company (cr England I think?) That has a school that will take pretty much anyone who applies and you can either pay for the class or sign a contract to drive for them for a year and at the end of a year you can leave or drive for them still or drice for them and get a truck and they finance it for you. Any knowledge on this? Think I got the cr england name wrong but somethi g close to that.

    That's what I'm doing in Ohio. Not cans though, running boxes. You guys out west have huge pads! Drilling and fracing on the same pad. Wow. What sand do you all use out there? We primarily use 30/50 40/70 and 100 mesh.

    • @nickw900l
      @nickw900l  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There has been talk of boxes. These pads have around 20 wells on them. They drill two side by side move over about 20 feet and start drilling again they frac them right away.

    Halliburton backing policy is indeed two spotters, I was my crews “sand boss” for about 9 months. I basically handled the ordering, coordinating and backing of the sand! At one time I had like eleven trucks backed in place, and all had different sand and three quarters of them didn’t speak English!!! Keep safe and don’t ever listen to the green hats, they don’t know what the hell they are doing!

    Are you an owner op contracting in loads with Halliburton? I grew up over the road, my dad hauled just about everything you could imagine. This may sound stupid but my goal is to retire from my current career field with everything paid off and own my own truck and to be able to take loads as i please and have the ability to park it for awhile if need be as you discussed in the beginning of this video. Thank you for uploading and i would love to see longer raw footage of your trips personally but each to their own in this ADD society i guess. Be safe driver.

    • @nickw900l

      The first six minutes months I spent lots of time in the mountains enjoying life. I helped my rancher friend and put a roof on a neighbors house. Just some odd work here and there. My wife has a pretty good job and I had saved quite a bit of money. The next six months I worked for Old Dominion doing local P&D.

    • @guerrero14100
      @guerrero14100 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Is that I'm thinking of getting into it but not sure to go straight into the lease program or just go to Odessa and try it out but they pay with a 1099 see how the hauling frac industry is would you have any advice for me

    • @nickw900l
      @nickw900l  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I really don’t know much about a lease program, but you can make really good money but you want to be careful and not get over extended. The oil field work is up and down and I’ve seen a lot of guys buy a truck at the wrong time and go broke. I figure you have two good years possibly six (if trump gets re-elected)
