So you want to haul crude oil in the badlands of ND?

Yah, we have to grab a sample from the tank, get temperature & run it thru some tests for water & sediments. If its below the threshold, we can load her up. It usually takes ~1hr from time you enter lease & leaving with 230bbls.

 

Good ones -- Power Fuels, Missouri Basin, Plains, Diamond B, Black Hills, S&S, Stallion, Wisco.

 

AC22, you familiar with Braun Trucking out of Tioga? Any info appreciated.

 

Moneycat, are you guys buying it from off the top of the tank or grindout from the side of the truck??

thank you ACC22 BAD news are theres no space 4 newbies. thanks

 

Yep. Very familiar. Braun is based out of Tioga, ND. They mainly do vac work hauling dirty water. Some fresh but mainly dirty. They were the main fluid haulers for HESS until HESS brought in 150 KEY Energy trucks from New Mexico. It's too bad when corporate HESS and corporate Key get together and make deals that push out guys like Braun. Braun in locally owned and is good to work for (from what I hear). Braun still is busy and still has work from HESS. I'm sure they work for other operators as well. I see in the Williston Herald that they are hiring drivers now and offer a $1000 sign on bonus. I have no idea if they have housing or not. I'd say Braun is legit and good to work for. If not, at least you got some experience out of them to look good on a resume. I left them off of my list because they are still a pretty small company compared to the rest I listed. They might even be small enough to take a newbie....

 

We just received a 15% pay raise last week. The quarterly bonus of $3k is still the same with $150 walmart gift card. Hourly rate raised to $27.50/hr, we don't get paid by the hour, its for delays/breakdowns/etc.

 

Where do you work?

 

Plains Marketing, main office/shop is in Williston but we have guys work out of Sidney/Tioga/Ross/Stanley/Watford City & Berthold(me). Its a 23mile one way commute to Berthold from Minot/Stanley.

 

Yep. Plains was on my "list". For what it's worth...
