<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Voodoo Pyg, post: 5743656, member: 158335&quot;]<span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">Hello to all of my friends in the TTR. It&#039;s been a long time since I last said anything here on the TTR but I feel that sufficient time has passed and I thought I&#039;d tell you a little about what I&#039;ve been into. On November 11th, 2016, I accepted a job at Take 2 Transport. Take 2 Transport is a fracking operation hailing from the Southeast Texas region. After many trial and errors with different companies (mostly due to my experience being the deciding factor), I was introduced to this company within a 30 mile radius of my home. I got into contact with the owner, who is actually a fairly reasonable man and set up an application process on the aforementioned date above. After a lengthy process which included a drug test I was hired on the spot. While I did assure the owner that I had no prior experience in the fracking industry, he assured me that I would be trained ( a promise that was well kept and I had the job down in less than three days). He also touted that we had the opportunity to make upwards to $5000.00 a month (another hard to believe promise that was true). The other option was to stay out two weeks and come home a few days (Again, promises that were kept). Alright then. Now that the mush is out of the way, allow me to get to the meat of the post.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">Since it has been four months here&#039;s all that I have had happen while I was there. I&#039;ve made actual decent paychecks working here, the highest being nearly $1700 and the lowest being $165 (due to picking up a trailer for a broken down truck and having to chase the BOLs as the driver took them home with him). When they found out I was moving, they offered to send assistance The original truck I was assigned suffered a huge blow to the transmission (which I reported) so I lost a week due to that as I had to await another truck to be assigned to me. The boss however did get me into a hotel. As luck would have it, another driver was banned from the work site for loud talking the coordinators. Once I actually obtained said truck, the driver had taken out the stereo and CB radio. Sadly, I still haven&#039;t received a CB though there are some plants where one is required.They have only one dispatch phone so expect that if you do call into the office, that you won&#039;t be immediately answered on the spot. You WILL be expected to run on minimal sleep if you want to make any real money. The most sleep many of them get is on the staging pad and at times mine has equaled to the 8-10 hour window so DOT would may leave you alone if you&#039;re lucky. If you do have any kind of problem with the truck, you are sort of expected to know how to remedy the problem yourself. I will add more as I think of it. But below will be the short list.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">Pros:</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">- Take 2 Transport will take you with no experience</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">- You will make money if you run your a$* off</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">- Very family oriented</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">Cons:</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">-Equipment leaves something to be desired</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">-One dispactch phone which amounts to long waits (what company doesn&#039;t?)</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">- If you breakdown, await long wait times</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 89, 179)">Again I will add more as it comes to me.
