What You Need to Know
- One Stop Shop: This company is service based, specializing in turnaround services and disposal of oil and gas waste. They pride themselves on offering a full one stop shop service to their clients. From drilling to fracking to well servicing, their specialized fleet and highly trained staff are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Although traditionally an environmental company, they have switched from drilling to production and service. They service all the batteries, spill recovery and clean-up, and turnaround. They handle disposal of oil and gas waste; at this point, it’s more trucking and oilfield services than environmental drilling.
- Remote Ownership: The company was started in 1999 by the current owners as an environmental consulting company handling all aspects of drilling waste sampling and disposal in the oil and gas sector. Since that time, they have focused the company's attention to the trucking side of drilling waste disposal. The owners run the business remotely.
- Complete Turnaround Services: In 2005, they purchased their first vac truck and have been slowly adding to the fleet to our current 24-unit tally. Their latest additions include tank trucks, a pressure truck and 2 single axle combos. These new units help to complete the service package for their clientele. Their combo vacs are equipped with Viking pump and Gamajets for fast and efficient zero entry tank cleaning. Their fully tooled maintenance crews are equipped with light duty pickers facilitating complete turnaround services.
- Emphasis on Safety: Safety is the number one priority. Their employees’ safety is valued above everything else. They are very proud of their safety record and attribute it to their professional fully trained staff.

- Owner 2: Accounting
- All the bookkeeping, part of payroll, accounts payable, and supervises accounts receivables
- Owners operate remotely and have been relying on those in the field more and more to take over the operating role. They only spend 7-10 days a month in the area. They are 100% confident in Regional Manager and the local operators in place.
- Upon sale, the company would only need to hire someone in an administrative role to take over Owner 2's role, but this would be an easy role to fill.
