      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

      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
