Equipment was unsafe. Management did not care about personnel. They have high turn over rate which tells you something about the management. I saw at least four supervisors and two managers leave within a two year period and that was just the division that I was involved with. If you have a degree in anything from Texas A&M you instantly have a job "favoritism". I had an individual with out any degree just barely graduated from high school and no experience in supervisory role get promoted over me. I have a BABS degree in management.He couldn't even add simple mathematics. I believe that they don't want anyone with common sense in a management position. Poorly run company. Upper management definitely did not know how to communicate with lower. Serious communication problems. Should have realized I was in trouble first day I was transported to west Texas they had know idea where I was supposed to be dropped off. They would loose good employees over .50 cent raise they said they would pay after 6 months. Then when questioned about the raise, it was a year. After one year questioned about it then it was based off performance.  When I kept pushing all of a sudden I started getting written up for everything. When I told my supervisor that I didn't want that .50 raise, everything stopped. Hmm. No further write ups. I ended up leaving after I realized that they were not going to replace any of the dilapidated old equipment that was unsafe to drive. Not sure if they have any updated trucks but If Joe or Kyle are still there do not go anywhere near that company. Out for 3-4 weeks at a time. They were always cutting pay whenever they could. They use to pay from the time you left the hotel. Then it was they would pay from the time you were on the site even though you were in a company vehicle driving from the hotel. Then they moved everyone from hotels to a barracks style accommodations. They save a lot of money You guest it one of the owners of Texas Pride fuels also owned the barracks under a different company name. Brilliant move to save on Taxes. Great write off. We never saw a dime. Just get back to work and do your job.

Once hired Your trained for your job which doesn’t help when your in the field.You drive to and from location uncompensated,check fuel levels pull pumps transfer fuel to bobtail and shuttle.most of equipment is worn or broken trucks always breaking down.lot of waiting around till the day is done.Managment Leads supervisors are inept sometimes difficult to work with And don’t communicate.Managment is horrible always quick to change rules and policies.always threatening to write up or fire lot of favoritism.The culture was laid back some people are nice and good to work with,some are lazy incompetent and immature.Shouldnt of been hired in first place.Your forced to live in disgusting bunkhouses with lazy  people who don’t shower or pick up after themselves,brush there teeth.hardest was dealing with difficult people and worn equipment that hardly gets fixed not being paid for drive to and from locations.Which can be four hour round trip,poor treatment of employees unless your someone’s favorite or buddy relative etc.enjoyable part was being off a week paydays,traveling that’s about it. Treat your employees better stop hiring the wrong people and promoting the wrong people,communicate better.

Great place for someone who’s getting there foot in the oil industry! Low paying job 16.00 hour and management is terrible ! I left the company and they didn’t even know that I moved on the another company! I was literally gone a week and half and they didn’t even realize it . Me personally I have like 12 years of oil and gas experience and by far this was the most unorganized, underpaid, and short service employees all through the company! Had reliefs not show up for shifts and quit and they only allow your 13 hours max a day on shift , no pay for drive time to and back from location! So if you a hour away from thhe location you want be compensated for your time that’s not going to happen! Living quarters are nasty and you have share rooms with another stranger who is laying in the bed while you trying to get rest for your shift. Just per foolery i tell ya!

I spent quite a few years with TPF, from traditional to automated and its a good place to work. Money is ok, could be better. Twice we had them take money away with the promise of it coming back and it never did. Management does their best with what they have and the personnel. Could have manager type personnel but evidently a college degree is more valuable than actual time spent with the company and knowledge of how the company works. If you need a decent check rolling in, TPF is the place for you. But dont expect to get anywhere unless you have a college degree. Without that you'll just be a fuel hand and nothing more. 

A hard days of work in the Oilfield start off by making sure you have on the proper PPE for safety then making sure you properly do a pre-trip on your truck. after logging into your drivers log book its time to delivery the fuel. after you make a drop off you then have to load your trailer back to the legal limit. this was my first oilfield transport job I've learned a lot on how to propel shift and down shift while driving loaded in all kinds of weather. also learning how to driving in roommate areas and city areas safely. Ive learned how to properly operate a PTO system connecting the hose to the belly valves in order to load and unload fuel.

This place use to be good,until they stop paying drive time cut perdiem in half and no longer pay stand by time while u away from your family and they expect you to be ready when they need you back to work when no stand by pay.you drive 2-4 hours to work round trips with no pay.your chance to catch lung cancer is high from silicus sand that they use,chance of get accident over the road while lack of sleep all this for 10$ an hour and only get 12 hours a day away from your family.every single person from managment to fuel tech are talking about quiting everyday.they short hands badly customers complain because alot the workers don't care anymore since they don't make any money.

The job description that you're given is not what you actually carry out. 
You do learn how to perform the job that you are responsible for doing. 
The management is a joke. It's laughable how unorganized it is. They speak to you like you're incompetent or ignorant. They will not help you under any circumstances. 
The hardest part of the job is dealing with the aforementioned management. Also the hardest part is dealing with people that should not have been hired to begin with. And the fact that the "living conditions" that you are forced to stay in are absolutely disgusting.

I hauled fuel transport to frac sites and drill rigs. Occasionally to a rolloff tank at a farm or business of sorts. I very much enjoyed my time here, however i have been laid off recently, and id like to believe they did their best to keep me during this time, however, just like the govt, i didnt actually know whats going on with the uppers. If they could, i believe theyd bring me back. And id go back.

As with most jobs in the oil field industry, the hours fluctuate constantly. The job is extremely easy, but also very dangerous and I don't feel employees are paid to compensate for the dangers of the job. Expect 14-18 hour shifts with 10 or so hours of sitting in a truck trying to kill time. The management is pretty poor, a lot of safety regulations that are "enforced" by the company seem to be neglected and scheduling is a mess. But they offer safety bonuses for every 2 weeks without an incident and a per diem for food if you are more than 50 miles from home.
