Not many outfits up here that will supply you with a water trailer. I have heard of some that did last year, Deer Valley comes to mind, if I recall correctly they were charging around $1500 or $2000 a week. You would be better off buying your own trailer. Another avenue is a side dump, some outfits will supply them at no cost. And your truck, if you are going to haul water or anything for that matter up here, you should at least have a wet kit installed. If you are dead set that you are going to haul water, a PTO driven vacuum pump would be recommended.
As far as who is hiring, just about everyone up here is hiring. What I tell guys is to drive up here and get a driving job. That is the easiest way to find out what is going on up here and who supplies what to O/O. Also, there are more than a few fly by night outfits up here. Make sure that you don't get suckered into the old 45 day pay routine. The legit outfits factor their billing and pay bi-weekly. I know some of you will balk at factoring, but it ain't cheap to run up here, maint. alone can bury a guy, not like you just drive down the street to the local mechanic or tire shop.
Give S&S a call, they do water and I think side dumps, they are in Watford ND if I recall.
