    Anyone have any info on beaver creek? They just started hauling crude oil as they are a Tier 1 contractor on the Indian Reservation. Rumor has it the Reservation is starting to crack down on companies not typically approved to operate on their land. Beaver Creek was asked to start transporting oil for them, and they are on a hiring tear. So, I know they've been around hauling water, construction...Anyone know anyone who has ever worked for them?

    Those old reservation trucks looked to be in rough shape when I was back there 2012- 2016. Good luck too you.

    Yessir. The operations manager was pretty up front with me and told me that right off the bat. He said his trucks aren't pretty, but well maintained. This whole crude oil hauling venture is new for the company, but not for him or his crude oil drivers. It will definitely be a gamble, but I have an offer from another outfit to start the following week, so I'll go check it out for a week and see. If it sucks I'll leave.

    I would avoid anyone running on the reservation. Who's your other offer?

    A few of my friends went out in beaver creek trucks a little while ago. They were not pretty or well maintained. They said the beaver creek trucks were the worst they had ever seen hauling in the oil field.

    Here's a background as to the Beaver Creek situation.

    TradeStar formed a tier 1 Tero company called Little Missouri (LM). LM was to haul loads off the reservation. The "owner" of LM is a Native American. Turns out he is not a member of one of the three tribes from the Fort Berthold Reservation. So, a rival Mann Enterprises, raised hell and LM lost all of their sunoco loads off the reservation.
    Beaver Creek is now hauling these loads in some underhanded partnership with TradeStar/LM.

    With all that being said, I would not go work at Beaver Creek because all this reservation stuff is up in the air. I doubt they even have enough work now because several drivers jumped ship from TradeStar/LM to go drive for Beaver Creek.

    Hope that is clear as mud :)

    Real great co to. Work for. Just lying been here almost 4 months and been treated like doo. Just lost my job cause a supervisor determined I was out of line. They treat you like your suppose to be thankful you work for them not like they are greatful they have you. You sit for days during a pay period so others can work they over hire constantly don't have the equipment for the workforce but keep trying to do more they are a joke.

    Beaver Creek LLC, New Town North Dakota is a joke.
    1.Poor management) I was not told that Beaver Creek no longer had oil contracts until the day they were out of oil and found that out through dispatch, not manager. Called manager the morning of no oil and he said i can haul dirt. Said no thanks. can haul dirt at home. they charged me for training even though I was an experienced oil buyer(about $900)
    2. Poor dispatching) I regularly new of drivers constantly redirecting themselves. Mind you this is also a management problem as there were at times four trucks in line at one well. Dispatch had no control over drivers and also stacked drivers up to wells.
    3. Poor equipment) There was a breakdown between the shop and drivers. I witnessed this many times over again myself and with other drivers. The trucks they had when I was there (October 2017) did not have rear end lockers which means no money being made getting stuck and chaining up all the time. If you don't chain up you will be charged for it and YOU WILL be driving the harshest roads.
    I could go on and on. If you go to work for Beaver Creek LLC, New Town North Dakota, you will regret it.
    And Oh, did I mention, YOU WILL pay for room and board owned by Beaver Creek LLC.
    Just my 2 cents.
    Have a nice..Day!
