    Power fuels had a fly by nite company outbid them on fresh water... We just heard them same morons... J&S trucking just lost that contract and the oil company came back to power fuels cause they were cheating on there hauling and double billing and doing ghost hauls.... That's a warning for people who try to get on with companies like that up here.... If u want a lasting job here then apply with the good companies.... It's not worth the hassle of the under achiever companies only worried about the Owen lining his pockets at you... The Drivers expense...

    Not sure where you heard that MBI was a gold standard. They have a high turnover rate here in ND. I have 4 friends working there hauling crude. They are not making what I make hauling for *********. If you want to make good money you really have to do your research on these companies. Just cause the company is big doesnt mean anything. Look at Key energy. They are almost ready to fold up here cause they have no work and what little work they do have its inconsistant. Guys leave there on a daily basis. Key is about to fold in ND but they are huge in Tx. Best companies to haul crude for here in ND are Plains American pipeline, Enterprise products, and maybe Concord though Ive heard some issues are starting there. The other 2 companies avg pay of 2k to 2500 per wk working a 5/2 or 6/1 and full benefits on day one of employment. Never have been told to stay home cause of no work. Alot of oil to pull and lots of oil flowing out here... Do your homework.

    Yes, homework, plains marketing is only as good as having housing,which they do not and their wages are less than typical for the lack of employee housing,though they own their own oil leases,which may matter more for stability. Overall the real story is how long do you plan on staying out here(ND), if just a few yrs, then come out to learn a skill that may apply elsewhere. I'd hazard MBI is gold standard,they have no ghost billing last heard,Power Fuels has assisted them supposedly at times because of too much steady work and power fuels lack of. the retention rate for MBI? They do hire alot,but the buzz is overall super solid, and with long term goals for extended stable growth
