Tanking crude oil in Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle...

I had a buddy ask me about work in my area so I thought I would update this thread. It is still going strong up here in Western OK and the TX panhandle. I've been running a lot of loads out of the TX panhandle and there are a ton of rigs working in the area between Wheeler and Canadian, TX. Our company has pulled some trucks back from NE TX so not sure what is going on with that but we have plenty of work. Got one well doing about 800 barrels per day so we dispatch several trucks just to that site each day. Overall can't complain!

 

Not sure about Corpus but I have met some of their drivers up here in the TX panhandle griping about pay. But there seems to be a lot of that going around these days with all the new outfits coming in to tank crude. I've even seen some Covenant trucks tanking crude lately. Didn't know they were into that!

 

Big orange might as well come join in, I saw one company who tanks crude out of the TX panhandle delivering Cokes in downtown OK City last week! Every truck that has spinning tires seems to have figured out the energy industry is where the pay is at, LOL!!!!

 

Anyone familiar with Paisan Logistics out of Elk City, OK? Also how about Plains in OK, are they good to work for? Inquiring minds want to know...

 

I'm asking because I am a little nervous. It's been getting slow around our yard, not enough loads to go around. Let's just say I made more $ today trading Linn Energy stock than I did all last week hauling Linn Energy crude. Got to stay flexible, lol!
