What is the best part of working at the company?
It is a left leaning extremely liberal organization. Where you will be required to take, diversity, equity and inclusion training, the balance of the corporate mandate is to promote from with in, you have a substantial advantage if you are gay or lesbian. I drove truck, interior cameras, and mobile eye monitoring, it makes the job increasing taxing knowing you are being watched and zero tolerance for distracted driving. Very easy job, but strenuous safety procedures. I would not recommend this company. I made it almost 3 years.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hard company to navigate anywhere up. You will be stuck in your position for quite a while, irregardless of what they say at your interview.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very easy job, great pay, holidays, wellness days, sick pay, vacations are accrued, you half to earn them by time worked.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12 to 14 hour shifts, you can be left alone really, as long as you don't make mistakes.

Local management is extremely inexperienced, incompetent; uncaring and dismissive to the drivers who actually move loads and make the place profitable while catering and coddling the clock milkers and friends or family. 

Work culture is nothin but favoritism, double standards, lack of accountability, and the typical "Good ole boys Club" where it doesn't matter how well you perform, just who you know personally or who your related to. 

Being a local driver is no longer a thing, everyone is being forced into sleepers to work out of town. 5 on 2 off 5 on 3 off schedule sucks (local driver rotation).

 If you're a good runner, the embarrassingly incompetent logistics team will squeeze you for as many loads as possible 14 hours straight while leaving others to sit with one load in the same amount of hours.

This company used to be great to work for, it has changed in the last months. Way to many managers and way to many 3rd party drivers  in West Texas. Dispatchers always changed schedules and routes on you at the last minute. Also, most recently there has been a lot of changes with management and they are dividing the whole west Texas region with new managers making it a very divided company. We used to have great Driver perks/stipend but it was taken away. Company has recently hired a tone of drivers and we don’t have enough trucks and there isn’t enough work to go around for company drivers and 3rd party drivers. Another big problem in west Texas is that even if you have a while with the company, they won’t consider you for becoming a Tech from a Driver. It seems they always hire their “friends” first

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best company I've worked for hands down in my whole oil and gas career,  positive work environment and the honesty care about the employees working gor them.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not much stress as a Lead Regional technician I love my job and as a field technician it's even easier.  All they ask is you do your job by company standards be honest and you'll have it made.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very positive everyone seems happy to be here and the morals good

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dispatching techs to different jobs and training new hires

What is the best part of working at the company?
This company was on of the worst companies that I was part of. It was poorly managed and had no work procedures.  The chain of command was never established. This company did not respect its veterans who bravely served this country. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s  most stressful company due to its poor management and upper management. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This company did not have a good culture or core valves that it followed. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Do more with less was this companies model which made for very difficult work day.

Great compensation. Frequent bonuses, you get your hours. Equipment is better than most oilfield companies, although the trucks run on CNG in some cases and lack power. Cameras in the trucks and they are monitored closely. Work is easy, environment is laid back, dispatch does not push you to hurry. They give a living stipend on Orla and Pecos yards. Management in Orla is sketchy and there’s a lot of drama, it’s much better in Pecos. The company strives to take care of the employees and the CEO is hands on and reaches out to check on you and ask how things can improve. I would recommend it. 

Good job with decent benefits that could be pricey. Good hourly pay but can’t get the hours due to work up and down. If going to work out of town pay is good. The problem is too many drivers for the work and on top of that sometimes the work goes to contract carriers when the company drivers should get the work. The WTX bunch ,techs, and management probably got the better setup for as the perks. I really think the perks should be same across the board for every one that meets the criteria. To be the drivers are the backbone .

What is the best part of working at the company?
There's a great team atmosphere!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Like with any job, there's always that one guy who thinks he's a supervisor, or has more authority than his peers in the same position. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is very safety oriented, with peers who aren't out to sabotage you. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive at the yard, inform dispatch and wait for my loads. Next, pick a tractor and appropriate trailer for delivery to client.

It's a dead end job, you dont advance to anything unless you are related to someone. management has no backbone or moral character. Dispatch is out of country and you may run 14 hours or no hours. Nobody knows what's going on from 1 minute to the next. They believe that an accepted application is a title of ownership of the employee and they do not care about the drivers, they only care that you are filling a seat. This company will definitely stab you in the back.

Recently the new pet policy went into effect and I could no longer bring my chicken to work! Otherwise I would give this company a 5 star rating. Having a chicken by my side gives me comfort and a sense of worth in an American working atmosphere. I feel lost sometimes but is deffinately an adjustment. Everyone here is hard working and willing to go out of there way to help in a time of need. Company is safety orientated and puts family first. Hope to grow with this company in the future.
