Oilfield Water Hauling

Follow along as i take you though the process of my day hauling production water. This field is approximately 30 mile from the nearest highway. It take about an hour and a half to get into the field. A two load day is a full day.
I like the way you treat your truck taking your time and not getting everything wound up so tight. You have a caring professional approach .Here in Missouri we have grain trucks that just have to gear down with loud exhaust brakes, make a big show, and let us all know how big of a man they are. They ruin the quality of living in many small towns and seem to get off on it.
Thank you, I learned at a young age to take care of your truck and it will take care of you. I’m not into the loud exhaust, not interested in listening to it all day everyday.
Lil xtra horsepower there
Where did all the good work go....been doing plastic resin bulk, it is slowing down as well....things are looking bleak in the southeast these days. Hope youre still doing well man.
Where is this place located?
About 40-50 miles south of Wamsutter Wyoming
I only have a 3A right now, is there any jobs where that would be useable in the oil field or would a 1A be neccesary.
Not sure what a 3A is. I haven’t worked in the oilfield for 5 years. Rates are way too low in my area.
@nickw900l I'm in Canada, I can drive trucks without a trailer only. To get 1A which is with trailer I have to do a mandatory course which a guy has to come up with 10000 for
Wow!! You should look for a job using what you have and hopefully they will pay for you to get the upgrade.
Two spotters?! Dang, this sounds more corporate than a strict corporation.
They were more eye candy for the company than spotters. Just there to stop you when you’re far enough back.
Where do you work and what company is it?
I’m not doing that work anymore and haven’t since 2016
@@nickw900l You know that I have been going through a very difficult time last year I went bankrupt and the oil company that was there in December went bankrupt and they did not pay me I am going through a difficult time like you did to be able to get out of the oil business that you do now
Yeah they about broke me too. I worked for Southland and when they went bankrupt and sold out it really made me mad
@@nickw900l now what are you doing
what is the quantity of the water tank?
These tanks are 500 bbl tanks, so around 21,000 gallons.
Good video.
stand out to the side when popping those caps brother. not directly behind it.
I prefer to have two hands on the caps. I always crack one ear first while holding the other closed. I always check for pressure before popping the second ear. A lot of times I’ll leave one ear open so it wouldn’t build pressure. I have seen people pop them under pressure and get sprayed in the face and really scared.
THIS is why I got my CDL. I just want to drive the beautiful west.
how do you find the well sites? They dont show up on google maps right?
I do this in West Virginia! Cool to see how you guys do it out west, we have digital screens to show us the water/oil level so we’re a bit spoiled! 😂and you’re right about the loaded truck having the right of way but a lot of people don’t follow it here either. Stay safe! Keep the rubber side down driver!
We're slowly getting there, at least up here North Dakota, all new wells and leases come with digital read outs, and a lot of producers have taken the initiative to modernize their older pads to make it easier on the drivers to load. I'm still dumbfounded that some producers down there still don't have fixed fittings on their geddy boxes.
@@BakkenHaulinHeroI almost came to the Bakken to truck water. My company has a division in every part of the oilfield in the U.S. they were gonna send us out there when things got slow in 2019 cause I guess it was a big boom out there but they didn’t send us
❤❤
Been doing sand in west texas looking into getting into water tired of those extremely long waits at wells haha
Yeah I’ve hauled sand and water. Each have their positives and negatives
What you up too these days?
What kind of pto is required?
Coming in after hauling crusher run on a road with an R/S aluminum trailer and it started snowing on us before we got back to the concrete plant to park so we were going to leave everything on this side of the hill instead of trying it down the back side. I was in the old RD and easing along in 2nd or 3rd in the 12-speed, NO problem when I looked in my mirror and the trailer was sideways across the road beside me. I had felt NOTHING but there it was. I eased down on the trailer brakes and it straightened back up and did just fine. The road had probably 3 or 4 inches of wet snow on it so that's why we were easing but that sure got my attention. No Jake of course. No brakes either. Glad everything turned out fine for you too. Winter is sure interesting. God Bless!
You did a fine job coming off that grade. Good to hear someone that can and does grab some gears and let the Jake do the work instead of baking brakes. I had an ex-bull hauler buddy tell me that IF I ever ran up on a grade like that I had ONE GOOD CHANCE to get it in a low enough gear to make it. I could always speed up. I'm in the middle of the Blue Ridge and used to mountain driving but the grades aren't that long but steeper. When the sign says steep, don't blink and miss it. Keep on petting that Kitty! I ran a 3406B in an old Pete that was plumb scary but had been petted beforehand. Blessings
That mountain scared the crap out of me my first time. I learned real quick it’s best to start out slow and work your way up if needed. The blue ridge is no joke. Narrow roads lots of sharp turns and tons of trees! I love my cat and will never drive anything else. Thanks for watching!
@@nickw900l Most of my hauling was on the longest road in the state, good old scenic 64. It's said to go from Murphy yo Manteo but really from Tennessee to the Sea. I lived in Murphy for a while and hauled crushed limestone for concrete out of Cleveland Tennessee and river sand out of Cleveland Georgia so I had either Ocoee Gorge or Blood Mountain to deal with but I was raised two hours east of Murphy on 64 so those were better roads than here. We have some long grades dropping off into South Carolina but not that long but long enough, and trails off down the bluffs where some didn't make it. And I love the Kitty motors and have looked at bulldog butts all my life! And the people that say a Jake don't work on a Cat don't know what a gear stick is! Be Blessed, Pal!
Kw hasn’t made a decent interior since the 90s. Love those flat dashes
And this is exactly boys and girls how to take a really nice truck and make it a POS in less than two months.
15 years and 1 million miles and she’s still going strong.
Do you need to have a Hazmat indorsment to qualify???
How do I get these contracts??
Boy I wouldn’t do it. I had an oil company file chapter 11 and not pay me for 3 months of work. About broke me.
Are you still hauling frac sand in Wyoming as of March 2023?
Enjoying your videos. What part of the state are you working in? Thank you
I live in western Wyoming. Worked in the oil fields around here but now haul products in and out of the mines.
You In the basin
Any advice on how to get a job like this? Where to start? I don't even have a cdl but I'm 23 and this looks up my ally
That looks so fun
I like that style of work, not cities!
Friend of mine who used to haul crude oil and oilfield water out of the sites and he had a 1984 359 day cab pete and he got laid off for almost 8 months and he went and bought a dryvan and a reefer trailer and started hauling those until the oil feild started booming again and he went back for a while
You have a great way of explaining things. Great editing too. I learned so much, thank you!
Coning is a rate-sensitive phenomenon generally associated with high producing rates. Strictly a near-wellbore phenomenon, it only develops once the pressure forces drawing fluids toward the wellbore overcome the natural buoyancy forces that segregate gas and water from oil. czcams.com/video/xjRBznQUZMg/video.html
Thankyou sir
How many hours did you end up charging that day?
How cool would it be to show the rpms and gear shifts when mountain driving, for those learning how to drive out there.
you hit the nail in the head with this video my friend thank you. 1 sub for you.
Are you a owner op or company driver? Are you paid on a contract, per load, or per hour?
Owner op when I filmed this video I was paid by the barrel. Most of the oil fields here in Wyoming pay by the barrel any more.
Alberta
Where is this albert
The app called mileage bug
12:17 for real, I felt that. 😂
Is houston?
I can't find a clear answer online; do you need a Tanker endorsement for a pneumatic tanker? I almost feel dumb asking because it's a 'tanker' but I just can't find a clear answer.
No you do not need a tanker endorsement for a pneumatic. It doesn’t hurt to have it and the test is really easy. I carry all endorsements because I never know when I’ll need it and when I’ve needed one I haven’t had time to go get it.
Go broncos
OO are a good breed to have on location, fleet drivers are not so much. Speed limit is 20 here and I will get your job if you speed! Good luck and safe travels!
We have a smooth road and the speed limit is 20, yet the water hauler’s seem to think “hey smooth road I can run!” Nope I can get ya job and have your company banned. Don’t believe me, try me.
Nice video bro
You love or hate Wyoming... keep on trucking ..
Love Wyoming!
Do you only need a tanker endorsement? How much does it pay?
Yes, not sure what it pays haven’t hauled water since 2019. Southland Royalties filed bankruptcy and didn’t pay me 35,000 that they owed me. Left a sour taste in my mouth!
@@nickw900l Wow that was bad 😱
Yeah not good, 2020 was really rough on us but we battled through it.
