I like it. Less of a hassle, No BS with shipping and unloading. I pull up at the sand plant and they fill her up around 52,000 lb and down the road I go. When I unload it's hook the hose up to the truck and silo, turn on the blower. Takes about 1 to 1 1/2 to unload. If I have to wait to unload, I get wait time after the 1st hour.
Try to get a dedicated run. I like my dedicated run because: I'm dealing with the same people every day and the pay is not up one week and down the next. I gross $805 for 5 days and $1050 if I run 5 days and a Saturday.(Not including waiting time)That can add around $100 to my gross. Nice thing is I'm home every night.
Now the down side it's not a 8 to 5 job. But thats trucking LOL
