    well its been awhile since i posted anything so here is a quick update, we have been working very steady again, being dispatched everyday, all this work has been in the Keene to alexander areas, burlington,sm jobs....and a hess too.

    i have been back working days again, which i like because i seem to be less fatigued during the day no matter how much/little sleep i seem to get.

    i got rear ended last night in the swap out truck 7 people involved in 2 vehicles and all walked away....very scary

    Did the accident happen by the Patriot? I am staying at the Bakken Base Camp and saw an accident scene last night out in front on my way back from work. Didn't realize what had happened. Hope you're okay. Are you still working for Terry or did you take the other job? I have been working days steady running pipe. Great job so far.

    I've been pulling tons of Burlington oil from the Keene area too, all of it for Conoco. Someone hauling a dozer yesterday morning managed to lose the dozer on the Long X bridge south of Watford, structural damage to the bridge and it's been shut down for two days now. That's a pretty major north south artery between Dickinson/Belfied and Watford.

    Must have got that confused with the other closure of the Long X, maybe the dozer was from the other accident that shut down the Long X a year or two ago.

    PS
    They opened the bridge back up this afternoon, down to a single 12 foot lane with stop lights at each end of the bridge.

    You can make $27.00 an hour working local for Old Dominion anywhere in the country and be home every day. Why would anyone want to be away from home making less?
    Tesoro in Watford City pays $28.00 an hour @ 84 hours a week. overtime after 40 hours
