How to Become a
Frac Sand Hauler
at Sisu Energy…

2. You must have the
following certifications to
haul Frac Sand at Sisu…
• Class A CDL (most companies in this
industry require at least two years
verifiable CDL driving experience)
• Tanker endorsement or tanker
experience (doesn’t have to be a
pneumatic tanker – any tanker
counts)
• PEC (also referred to as SafelandUSA
Basic Training)
• H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) Certification
• Respiratory Fit Test Certification
• Med Card

3. PEC/Safeland Training
• The PEC SafeLandUSA Training Course is designed
to take the place of multiple Operator orientations
and to give each student a general idea of life and
safety issues in the oil and gas industry and sets
minimum requirements for the US Onshore E&P
Industry. The course usually takes 7 – 8 hours to
complete. The average cost for the course is $200
and never expires. You can google PEC Training to
find out more information. Courses can be taken
online or in a classroom setting according to personal
preference.

4. H2S (Hydrogen
Sulfide) Training
Hydrogen Sulfide Awareness Online Training is
designed to provide general information and
guidelines to workers who may be exposed to
hydrogen sulfide in the workplace in accordance
with OSHA’s General Duty Clause and ANSI/ASSP
Z390.1-2017 which sets forth accepted practices
for hydrogen sulfide training programs. Hydrogen
sulfide is a common hazard found in the oil and gas
industry. The class may be taken online for an
average of $20 and takes about 45 minutes to
complete. Google H2S Training and many different
options will be made available to you to obtain this
certification that expires annually.

5. Respiratory Fit Test
Certification
• A fit test is a test protocol conducted to verify that a
respirator is both comfortable and correctly fits the
user. Fit testing uses a test agent, either qualitatively
detected by the wearer’s sense of taste, smell, or
involuntary cough (irritant smoke) or quantitatively
measured by an instrument, to verify the respirator’s
fit. They are performed at most drug screening
facilities (like Concentra) or at most Occupational
Health facilities. A 3M Half Mask is what will be fitted
to your face to make sure the structure of your face
or facial hair is not impeding the seal of the mask.
The mask protects drivers from breathing sand &
other chemicals that can cause harm to their health.
The average cost of this certification ranges from
$30 to $50 and expires annually.

6. Med Card For CDL
Holders
• All commercial drivers of vehicles in interstate commerce
with a maximum gross vehicle weight rating of over
10,000 pounds (4,536 kilograms) are required to obtain
and maintain a valid Medical Examiner's Certificate (ME
Certificate) Commercial drivers who drive vehicles
requiring a CDL have two additional requirements. On or
before January 30, 2014, all CDL holders must declare to
their State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA) that they only
operate or expect to operate commercially in 1 of 4
possible categories with their CDL. This process is called
self-certification. For more information on the self-
certification categories see the FMCSA website.
• CDL holders must provide their SDLA with a copy of their
ME Certificate. This information is only being added to
the State driving records of CDL holders. CDL holders,
who are found driving in a category other than one to
which they self-certified, are subject to suspension or
revocation of their commercial driving privileges. CDL
drivers, who do not update the expiration date of their
ME Certificate with their State will have their commercial
driving privileges downgraded and will not be eligible to
drive a commercial motor vehicle that requires a CDL.

8. To Sum Up…
• If you are interested in becoming a Frac Sand
Hauler in the oilfield, get your certifications
and get some tanker experience or, at the
very least, a tanker endorsement.
• Some companies will put you with a
seasoned vet to train with so you can learn
the protocols of the industry until you are
ready to go to work on your own, but many
only hire experienced haulers and do not
offer any training. Do your homework to
find out which companies are willing to
train.
• Make sure you have all required PPE and
necessary equipment to be DOT compliant.
• Understand what the Federal and State
Hours of Service are that you will be
operating under so you can maintain the
required driving logs and ensure you are
operating in accordance to FMCSA
guidelines.
