Ahhh the joys of pulling flats. There is nothing else I would want to pull.

And another reason I love pulling flats in the oilfield, those rigs aren't in the best places. They have to build roads just for the rigs (and my rig), makes for some fun off roading.

 

I went to one oil rig in New York a few weeks ago, and the last hill (mountain) I had to climb to get to the rig was so steep I could not make it up. We had to use a chain and pull my truck with a dozer to get up it.

 

Oh yeah, turning a rig around at a rig. Man that is some s*$t there. I could go on and on about that. But it would be best not to.

 

yeah, when I go to rigs I try to back down to them if possible. There's very few things more frustrating than having to stroke a tool pusher with a" god complex" ego...but you have to, piss the pusher off and nothing gets done... and that pic i posted of the D9 was from 2 1/2 years ago when I was still doing heavy haul

 

Man you are so right if you want to meet ppl with a "GOD" complex all you have to do is hang around in the oilfield for about 2sec and you can meet a ton of em!!!


A few weeks ago I was trying to find a rig here in Louisiana, and "they" told me to take a right at the first Y,and then a left at the second Y. Now mind you this is on tracor paths out in the middle of sugar cane fields about 5 miles off the main road. I do as "they" say and end up in a bitty #### yard with 3 fraq tanks in one corner and 2 round tanks in the other corner, plus it was fenced in. It only took me coutless back-ups, GOALS, and moving smaller things by hand that I was able to get out of that yard.

The whole time I was suppose to take a left at the first Y, and a right at the second Y, completely opposite from what they told me.

You two under stand where I coming from being from the Gulf Coast.


One place in Tx that has a $#!$ load of rigs is in Fairfield, Tx. I was searching for another rig out there, and all of a sudden the hwy comes into a state park. The only thing I could do is a U turn in the entrance to the park. The rangers where none too happy.

 

Con-Ag show at the Las Vegas Hilton. That was fun, and made some VERY nice coin. A $15,000 week!







God I miss those days!

The oil patch! What a hoot! I used to work up NORTH on the SLOPE. Yep, lot's of little gods up there too. But it was fun!

I went to a rig the other day in east Texas near Huntsville, drove down in there, no room to load, wound up backing out over 1/2 a mile to turn around and back down to it again...finally get situated, go find the pusher..get this.. he turns around and takes his hard hat off...Picture "Gilligan" with a HUGE mullet! I had to pretend I dropped something so I wouldn't bust out laughing! I guess he figured it out, he didn't say anything, but made me wait two hours for their forklift to load me...He even went as far to tel me he was bringing the mullet back, and that chicks "dig" it...lol....If any one's ever seen some of the East Texas women...whew...I wouldn't want them "digging" me....lol
