Vac Truck?

[DRD]

Any money in the Vac truck business? What are normal charge out rates? How much does an operator normally make?

 

[kimrick]

Usually around $115 an hour for truck and driver..... this can vary up or down slightly!
Operators make between 27 to 32 bucks per hour dependent on experience, etc.....

Like I said, Varies up and down...... Depends on what job, distance etc..... the base rate is $115.
Sewer jobs are quick 15 minutes with mileage and minimum 1 hour....
Acid hauls higher rate.
Sump cleaning depends on oil or no oil. Trucks have to thoroughly cleaned after a contaminant haul or have designated trucks only for those jobs......
Standby rate at a rig does not pay high rate till unit is used for a much higher price.

Very hard to give a clear exact rate unless one know the job, contract length, etc.... Cenovus has a higher rate than CNRL. Imperial only works on five year contracts....These are some of the factors...

Hope this helps a bit more..

No contract only hourly rate. If you charged $200hr you would still be cheap.

Maybe you should PM me and be our next Business analist. I must say, i have only been doing this for 40 years and we welcome your insight and business.
If I could pull $200 an hour on a constant basis I would be on the TSX... I welcome your your business and await your proposal.
