Some truckers here might mke $100 thousnd a year. None that I know. The oil truckers might but I doubt it. My best guess is it’s the water haulers that could reach that level of income.

They stay out there for days at a time, shower and eat when they fuel. They are paid twenty four/ 7 . Sleep when they can, haul water when called

I agree with you. They are hiring and training locally for the Marcella play. Sadly, there are serious problems with finding hires who can pass the drug test. Could be an exaggeration by mid level players, but I doubt it.

Recycling "wastewater" will be the next big technological adoption. Economics is driving this technology. If everything pans out (and I think it will), water recycling could potentially drop a unit well cost by about 11 percent and open up many other shale plays in more arid regions.

This is pretty good news for water haulers.
