    Oil haulers. Do the companies you work for come out and tell you to steal oil?? Whether it be taking oil or raising temps and lowering gravity. Production tanks are a different story. Anyone??

    A first party purchaser had there own set of numbers for tanks when you went to load. For example, if you were supposed to use 2.58 barrels per inch they wanted you to use 2.45 per se.

    Not really stealing as it's their oil, you were just hauling an extra couple of barrels at the end of the day for free.

    Adds up real quick when you start multiplying.

    First party owns the oil dude. They can't steal what already belongs to them. Technically in the instance I mentioned they are jiffing the transporter since you are hauling an extra two barrels a load. Two barrels times three loads a day times five trucks, well...you get the picture.

    I understand what your saying. Im first party. You go to the lease take 170 and write down 165 the operator is getting screwed. 5 trucks 3 times a day. It adds up
