I wear a pair of aluminum toe Irish Setters. Best hard-toed boots I've ever worn.
I've taken the hazmat test for Nevada, Washington and North Dakota. They're all pretty much the same. Just take the practice tests online......
Who's stupidity are you referencing? You admitted you had a huge blind spot on your left side. You were crossing a highway where traffic travels...
Yup. And there's no opportunity to move into salt water or rentals. There's no opportunity for expansion into salt water due to power fuel's...
I might be able to answer that. Power Fuels has successfully cut driver compensation. You can only expect to make roughly 60k the first year,...
H2S smells like a sour fart. Our digestive systems create a small amount of H2S, which helps create that particular odor.
Just speaking from my personal experience, oilfield is a lot different than OTR. Oilfield drivers have a boss who's actively scheduling their...
My company calls them double bottoms. We like them because there's always weight directly over the drives, even when the tractor is only...
Looks like Schneider lost their contract driving Schlumberger equipment in North Dakota as well. Some outfit I've never seen before is doing it now.
Power Fuels just cut their rates to $120 an hour, resulting in an approximately $10,000 annual decrease in driver pay. There seems to be downward...
Pay the money for an attorney. It's worth it. CHP nailed me once for speeding on Grapevine, and once for driving on a restricted route in...
At our last safety meeting, the district manager said we stopped hiring for a while. I wouldn't bother driving up without verifying that.
Yup. I'm a power fuels driver, and we have a woman in her 60's working on my shift. She's one of our lead drivers. We also have several other...
It's not ND oil patch wages, but it's still much better than bottom-feeder OTR wages. I haul fresh water in ND, and I gross $1600 for a 60 hour...
You are slip-seating. If you weren't slip-seating, you would have an assigned truck you didn't share with anyone else. What is Schneider billing...
Not necessarily true, though. As a new driver you'll make 18% of the truck's gross. Billing 12 hours a day at $140 an hour, that earns the...
SWIFT: See What I F#@*ed up Today
Tweaked that for you.
Lots of family-owned companies like to talk about their family-oriented values. However, unless you share DNA with the people running the...
It's not hazmat. Company man will jump your a@@ if you spill any, though. Oil companies don't want to give more ammunition to the anti-frackers.
