Thats brutal man, most of the rigs that I work on are pretty good about safety. The only issue I have had is on Precision 824 when the driller lowered the top drive while I was removing my tool and it nearly took my hands off. The bar I was using to remove the tool stopped it somehow even though he sat about 12,000 lbs on it.

Damn, I would have snapped at him like I did back with Greywolf, racist driller and a toolpusher to back him. I got sent to the yard haha.

We are still extremely busy, I am pretty much going from rig to rig at this point. I rarely have more than a few days off between jobs. There are hundreds of jobs scheduled for this year so I think we will stay busy for a while at least.

I have already told my manager, the day my Raptor is ready, I am leaving, regardless if I am on a rig or not lol. I can not wait!

SVTRay do you drive back and forth between Odessa and Midland? I feel like I have seen your truck a few times...

We just recently moved to Dallas about a year ago.

Anyhow, It's good to see things still hoping along. I used to haul fuel in Midland and refueled Frac pumps. My Raptor spent most of it's early days parked at the yard covered in dirt.
