Loves Truck Stop The Rip OFF

How are they lying ?

How does piping oil to refineries cause frac sand haulers to gas fields lose their jobs?Your comments do not really make much sense,the only time you post is to complain about a company.Disgruntled Ex-Employee perhaps?

 

Hurricane Ike??? That was in 2008.

 

I don't know anything about how it all works, but in my mind it comes out of the ground, through one form or another, and is then put into a pipe to go to a refinery. There is no way people "bet big" that all of this was going to be trucked. If it was trucked, it would be an enormous waste of energy. What do you think the price at the pump would be then? The price of the fuel is just the same as any other commodity. Only now, our planet is becoming more globalized every day, and if someone somewhere else is willing to pay a higher price, what businessman is going to say, "sorry sir but I will sell it to these people over here so I can make less money on it." Would you? If you are that upset just go to Shatz in Minot. Support the independent or there will be no independent. They have a very good restaurant and free shower with fuel, their own points card just like anywhere else.

One other thing, do you realize that the price to get the oil out of the ground through processes like fracing, or from sand, costs $x per barrel? This means that the price MUST BE HIGH enough per barrel so that it is financially viable to GET that oil.

 

Your misinformed that is how the oil industry works loves is not the big boy.It may look like it to you but they are not if they didnt go along with the program they would be put out of business.Say i own some truck stops and i had the cheapest deisel around everyone is at 4.00 and mines is at 2.69 and i took everyones business.The next time i run out of fuel i would be chared a crazy amount and i would have to charge say 5.50 while the rest of the country is paying say 3.00 now that would put me out of business.So loves and other deisel seller have to play the game you put your prices to low and you will be out of business quick fast in a hurry might be illegal to do but thats what they do.

 

I agree! I like to stop at loves and petros because of the way we're treated.

You realize they are not a company that uses trucks?They are a Terminal and Supply company.They store and load rail cars from incoming trucks and pipelines.The only thing they have done is increase shipping across the country from 10k bpd to 60k bpd.The do not have any effect on frac operations.They only receive and transport the product from their facility.

 

Recently there was a frac company here in Arkansas that closed it's doors putting 90 people out of work. I doubt Loves had anything to do with that. Personally I think the oil industry is one of those that has a bigger ebb and flow of work than most which makes it great when its booming and devastating when it goes bust.

 

I guess no one doing the complaining has a memory longer than 10 years. Any time that you have a BOOM cycle, it is almost always followed by the BUST. Texas did it back in the late 80's/90's with oil.

And I still don't understand how a truckstop company has anything to do with drivers hauling frac sand for natural gas wells.
