Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

Stopped at the truck stop at routes 15 & 492 in Union, MS for a quick snack. Parked beside truck 12345. I feel sorry for that driver having to remember such a hard truck number like that. lol

 

Take your cb too.(If you have one)

 

I love extra year end cash!

 

Merry Christmas to all present and soon to be Maverick drivers.

The SWN Division has been busy lately. It's made for a few nice paychecks since I came back to work on November 28th after a month off with no pay. We pre-filled yesterday for our next well which doesn't start until January 2nd so next week will be bad for us and bad for some of you because all of our trucks and trailers will be taking up alot of space on the yard. Since there isn't an Orientation class next week, they're bringing us in Tuesday for our quarterly CBL (a SWN requirement) training. We'll also be cleaning our equipment and repairing hoses. On slow weeks they'll even let a couple of us come in and help out in the tarp shop. On Wednesday we're having a drivers meeting. 6 of our drivers will be heading to someplace in Missouri to pick up 6 new trailers which should take us up to around 27 total.

Maverick gets $38,000 a day every day we're on a well. I say that just in case any of you ever wonder if our division makes any money.

 

I forgot to mention that Maverick is experimenting with propane assisted fuel injection. Right now they're trying it out on two sand trucks. They've taken off the side box in the right side and installed the propane tank. It supposedly adds 70 more horse power and increases fuel economy. The drivers that have driven these trucks say it eliminates alot of down shifting going up hills. The down side is that there is only one place in NLR where we can get into to fill the propane tanks which need filled about once every 24 hrs. When we're busy, it's not unusual for the sand trucks to run almost constantly. If this experiment with the sand trucks works out then they're going to try it on a few Maroon trucks. If the propane tanks run out of gas the truck will still run as usual minus the 70 hp.
