Did they come all the way up here from Tacoma in a helicopter to make sure it was sanitized. I am sure Bruce would of had no problem with it. Remember Dan "Scorched Earth" anything here before these new outfits has to be burned down or buried. You want to see the carnage over here right now. Cant help but laugh, Another peepot truck rolled over right on the mainline and on the wrong side of the road I might add dodging pot holes. A wastern foreman asked me what I thought caused this horrific accident, I just smiled at him and said "Trip Rate" end of story

"Trip rate". Ouch. Even I felt the pain from that true fact

Heard the contractor peepot was a write off. Every day there is another piece of junk somewhere on the sarita access with a drive shaft puked out. None of them carry flares or anything. just abandon them and hitch hike to town. I'm the only big truck left hauling in Sarita and we have 4 drivers down at the Cameron end .All the rest, along with most of the crew have been at home since Dec 23 2015. Ian I was going to stop and take pictures of some of the carnage but then thought What the hell There will be tons more real soon.

Thanks for the update on how things are running so smooth HDX. It seem to me you told them , and told them that it wouldn't work. Probably to save even more money the graders and their operators are sitting at home, does anyone in the office know that the roads up there aren't paved? Sounds like to me the peepots should be charged with littering. As they used to say on the TV show A Team, I love it when a plan comes together. Maybe there will be enough of the teepot left for the bean counter to heat up his cup of java. Clearly a case of the guy in the big seat with little wheels having control of something other than pen and paper, and wrecking what wasn't ever broken.

Maybe a few of the laid off people should start a scrap yard. Thou a lot of the teepots are HD plastic, and fiberglass.
