They are using hoppers to haul frac sand here they switched from end dumps so they can unload inside a building. It seems to be working out fine.

Watch out for the dust.. It can contain silica, possibly giving you silicosis.. It's like what you get from asbestos..

Arrows Up has a bin that can be transported on a flatbed and helsp eliminate the dust issues. Our bin also allows anyone with a flatbed truck the ability to haul sand.

Rob,
I'm unsure of the lengh of time the trucks will be dedicated. Also there hasn't been any wait time for the trucks for loading or dumping. However, that doesn't mean wait time couldn't happen in the future. We are not offering demuurage pay for these loads. Because of the unknown dedication time period and because there is no dummurage pay included in the rate, we are paying $42/ton for this 216 mile route which comes to $4.87/$5.05 a loaded miles for 25/26 ton payload.

Give me a call if your interested. I still need a couple trucks.

I also have great rates for pnuematics. If you have any or know of any, please send them my way.

Thanks!

Are you looking for a pneumatic? Or a covered hopper.. They both haul cement.. You can find them on the truck paper. Watch out about buying a old used pneumatic.. As the metal gets fatigued and can and will crack on you.. Just from the pressure day in and day out of usage. Most are new.. And don't have a heart attack over the price.

They say that their re-insurance treaties don't allow for it. So they can't cover it. At first thought was general liability issue but not. They were even queasy about hauling non hazardous fertilizer. It's with Northland

Terry, I spoke with her a week ago and had the same question and here is how I understood it... Ok, keep in mind that the mileage is 216 miles oneway.... Now, her quoted rate is $42.00 a ton. So, if you haul 25 tons at $42.00 a ton then the load pays $1050.00 divided by 216 miles comes out to $4.86. The same at 26 Tons pays $1092.00 divided by 216 miles comes out to $5.05 a mile. so if that's the case then the 25 Ton payload round trip rate is $2.43 a mile and the 26 Ton payload round trip rate is $2.52 a mile. Hope that clears things up a little...

Now, I think that FRAC SAND haulers past experiences are beneficial to anyone that intends to haul this stuff.. for example I can see that it's important to determine whether or not your off loading into a storage tank or waiting to offload as they need the product. As mentioned above if you have to wait for them to offload as they need it then this ISN'T a good deal UNLESS the comapny is paying DEMURGE. If not then your sitting for long periods and NOT getting paid.. and as the guy mentioned above... an 11 Hour wait SUCKS!! I can say that these are my main questions, and I've NEVER hauled FRAC SAND.

1. Am I offloading into a storage tank or as they need the product?
2. What is the rate?.. per TON or per MILE?
3. What are the settlement terms? Are you responsible for paying me or the FRAC SAND company?
4. What are the Loading/Unloading hours on both ends?
5. What paperwork do you need before issuing payment? and how long do you process once you receive paperwork? Can I fax copies to you or do you need originals before settlement? do you offer direct deposit?
6. Is this a new shipper or have you done business with this supplier?

Now, the more and more I read about these FRAC SAND hauls I see that this may not be the thing I want to get involved with.. I've worked in the oil field before and it's time consuming.. I pulled a vacuum bottle and I was ALWAYS on the clock from the time of dispatch to the time I put the hoses back on the trailer... so I said all that to say, it seems that some FRAC SAND hauls are not that great and some are...

If you are determined to haul sand use a broker that has a rating not some fly by night lots of FBN in ND. Go to Tuttle &tuttle or sanjel or Halliburton the brokers talk a good rate Til it is time to pay most are 4 weeks out Lots of riff raff in ND oilfield I see it everyday

I believe broker should pay within 3 weeks if you get your paperwork in on time. My opinion is if you can't afford to wait 30 days for your money you will never get ahead and are in the wrong business, I reccommend selling the truck and becoming a driver. I have drivers pulling for me with pickups worth more than the trucks that support them these are the o/o s that just won't make it.

Is it ok to use a factoring company when starting your trucking company? I am a broker and I have alot of truckers ask for quick pay. I also hear of alot of small operations selling all their trucks. But I have some old timer truck drivers that will pile up BOL's till they have $13,000. Whats the best method, I am basically asking so new owner operaters could stay in business.

Thank you for any advice

Your income is based on percentages so I recommend building a great relationship with your financial backer. You need to know what every $1000 cost you per day.

ie: 7% x $1000 = $70.00 / 365 days per year = .19 per day

This is a basic guide I use, remember I'm not a banker so its just a guide.

I would talk to the old timers you have and find out how they do it cause they seem to have it figured out.

Keep asking questions, there is alot of good advice on this site.

funny, the LAW says they're required to pay within 7 business days of reciept of invoice and proof of delivery. I can dig out the statute if I need to, but my point is nobody needs to hold on to my damn money for more than a couple days max! It's sad that there's a law on the books and yet nobody holds these bastards to it so they have basically nullified the law!

Welcome to deregulation..when we had the ICC the money had to be at you in 15 calendar days..not workdays..also they would have a penalty if not..now with deregulation its you get it when we get tired of it...work around the oil fields..its when the well comes in..you get paid so you could be 60-120 days out.the stupid politicians who wrote the deregulation..left out any penalty to not obeying the regulations..oops and we get to pay...just like that fuel surcharge..they don't have to pass any of it to you..another oppps..

yeah, you're right about that. I think my point was if a broker is going to have zero invested but a fax machine a computer and a telephone line, the least they could do is pay their damn bills on time. I know there's no penalties anymore for slow payments. For me it's about principle. It's my damn money. If fuel prices start going up again and I have to wait 30 days for a check, that money is worth less than when I did the load. I've gotten to where I can pretty well be ok with waiting, I just frickin hate it. Again it's principle. As soon as I sent the invoice off, it became MY money that they're holding onto INTEREST-FREE! But then if you want to be paid ON TIME, they can do that for you for only a mere 5%. That's some crap if you ask me. If they can pay you 97% in 48 hours they can pay 100% in the same amount of time. There should be a law against that because it's nothing more than fraud if you ask me (which nobody did)!

Sorry it took so long to respond. I looked at my BOL's and it does not have the statute printed on the bottom. It simply says something to the effect of "per ICC regulations, freight bills must be paid within (7) Seven days upon reciept of invoice".
Sorry, I thought it had the actual statute on there but it doesn't.

29 hoppers hauling to 3 different locations. Some are filling tanks some are direct to well site. 65 mile pays 16 ton based on 30 ton. Some idiots load directly over the gate. And too much weight in one area do buckle the hoppers. Those who load on the slope have no issues. You will get 5-7 loads a day

only rough road is to the well site otherwise all pavement.

I found CFR Title 49, Sub Title B, Chapter 3, Sub Chapter B, Part 377 "Payment of Transportation Charges"

There may be another, but that's what I found.

We do lots of it with hoppers it is hard on aluminum trailers the rougher terrain causes rivits to loosen so it plan on doing it a lot get a steel trailer

Quote: "Rob, I'm unsure of the lengh of time the trucks will be dedicated. Also there hasn't been any wait time for the trucks for loading or dumping. However, that doesn't mean wait time couldn't happen in the future. We are not offering demuurage pay for these loads. Because of the unknown dedication time period and because there is no dummurage pay included in the rate, we are paying $42/ton for this 216 mile route which comes to $4.87/$5.05 a loaded miles for 25/26 ton payload. Give me a call if your interested. I still need a couple trucks. I also have great rates for pnuematics. If you have any or know of any, please send them my way. Thanks!

Quote: "I believe broker should pay within 3 weeks if you get your paperwork in on time. My opinion is if you can't afford to wait 30 days for your money you will never get ahead and are in the wrong business, I reccommend selling the truck and becoming a driver. I have drivers pulling for me with pickups worth more than the trucks that support them these are the o/o s that just won't make it."

Nobody should have to wait 30 days to get paid weather you are working check to check or loaded with cash flow

Theres not another white color job in related industry that pay the help or contractors once a month

The people in those offices telling you you get paid every 30 days are drawing a check once a week or twice a month

I'M NOBODY BANKER and its the other way around if you can pay and cash flow you business then you need to get out

And dont hire people to work for and expect them to buy 3-600$$$$ in a fuel a day while you sit on there money and I'm sure draw interest on some of it or some lame factoring company taking 2% plus of money for paying early they should be outlawed

I just had a broker bounce over 4000 $$ in checks on me after lieing to me for over a month the sherriff has it now

And Monday I'll be in the attorneys office sueing and put liena on evrything he has and the customers I hauled for !!!!!!

I pull a belly in the summer at 140-50 hr and get paid post companys once a week some 2

we get paid sitting or moving once we start the day .. OTR bs is just that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

ANYONE USING BELLIES ???

Replied on Mon, Mar 11, 2024 at 08:57 AM CST

Most overload and don't load right. They put it all on the edge of the doors.
doesn't open good. The sprocket jumps some put extra gear on and the rail with there on the gate. They don't have issues

but they cure one problem and create another. Once in awhile you will see one broken in two. Sand is really hard on the rivets. The tub with all the weight stretches the holes over time

Cornhusker makes hopper for sand and gravel the doors work fine but the rest of the trailer isn't any good
