CDL-A Drivers & Owner Operators – Texas Oilfield & Dry Bulk Hauling

Crafted Staff • Atlanta, GA

5d • Onsite

About The Position

Crafted Staff is recruiting qualified Class A CDL drivers and owner operators for oilfield hauling, frac sand transportation, and dry bulk trucking in West Texas, with some assignments in Southern New Mexico. This is not remote work; contractors must be able to report to and work in the operating area. Applicants from any U.S. state are welcome if they meet the requirements and can work in Texas.

Two contractor opportunities are available. The equipment-provided CDL-A driver opportunity pays 25% of weekly billed revenue, with weekly settlements and reported average weekly gross contractor earnings of approximately $3,000 (typically $2,500–$4,000, depending on billed revenue and available loads). A semi truck and trailer are provided, along with a fuel card, maintenance, and insurance for the company-provided equipment. Trucks are automatic sleeper trucks equipped with a bed, refrigerator, microwave, and GPS, and have no in-cab cameras. Dispatch and scheduling support are provided. Earnings are not guaranteed and are before personal tax obligations.

The owner-operator lease-on program offers up to 90% of billed revenue depending on equipment and insurance arrangements. Available structures are 90/10 for operators bringing their own insurance and equipment, 88/12 for operators bringing their own insurance and using an available trailer or equipment option, and 85/15 for operators needing insurance and equipment support. Weekly settlements and trailer rental options are available. Owner operators must have their own road-ready Class 8 tractor; specific splits and costs depend on the agreed arrangement.

Assignments depend on customer demand and availability and may include short-haul, regional, and longer-haul work. Most routes are local or regional, commonly 30–200 miles; longer-haul assignments may be available but are not guaranteed, and regular cross-country routes are not the primary focus. Local and regional assignments may involve approximately 2–3 loads per day. Materials include frac, dry, and wet sand; cement, ash, aggregate; and other oilfield and dry bulk materials. Equipment may include hopper-bottom trailers, dry sand hoppers, wet sand belly dumps, pneumatic trailers, and double-box chassis.
