    A kid failed a drug test at our pf orientation... He didn't smoke for over a month and he still popped... They walked him right out the door ... He was a swamped... So u can take ur chances but if they suspect it they will find it....

    lol Yes, urine test.
    And MOST call it a piss test, but I didn't know if the filter would allow that. ;)

    To the guy asking about the company that just gave it, I'm guessing it's because he's figured out that they're hurting for drivers now. Not that he's looking for a user-tolerant company.
    However, they're also hurting for contracts, too, from what I'm hearing because the guys they DO have are sitting... TNT is the name of the outfit, but I sure don't know where they're out of... But you want to think long and hard about a company that would even have that many users on the payroll in the first place. If they were running a tight ship, a surprise UT wouldn't have caused any problems.

    I just parked and slept in the parking lot last thursday the 22nd.
    I asked the security people since the truck stop was full if I could park there...
    I could but only for 24 hours, :biggrin_2559:....


    And as far as O/O work, its dead. Were running with 3 companies and ive been sitting since the 19th ... :biggrin_25511:

    I drove past PF's yard in Stanley earlier today and it looked like a parking lot, which worries me...

    Its sunday.... Alot of drivers dont run on the weekends due to families and such.. Drive past there tomorrow morning.... They also have trucks in yards waiting to have the tank liners replaced... Due to Dragon trailers piss poor building we have 8 trucks from williston down it watford now waiting to get repaired...They put lining in the tanks to keep the salt water from corroding and rusting them away fast...

    I got a call from a friend that's a O/O in Williston and he told the same thing. He's thinking about going to Oklahoma.

    It's normal for the patch to slow down in the spring in northern regions, get use to it.

    We've had a few trucks running in N.D. for almost a year hauling water, but we've had hardly any work at all in March. Anyone know if it's supposed to pick up soon?

    Cobra7479---I'm just curious about your opinion on Dragon Trailers. We are in the process of trying to lease one. Is that not a good idea? What kind of water trailer would you say would be the best? Thank you!

    Anyone else can give an opinion, too!

    The aluminum are good... The steel trailers the bladders come loose... Check her over real good....

    . Also there is a weight restriction on all paved county roads in Williams county.... Except for 2-85-1804... So if ur over six tons ur illegal... Another reason it's slow here now...
