A Very Familiar Story Coming Out Of The Bakken

The Dickinson Press is reporting:

“My dad thought I was crazy when I bought those two trucks,” Taylor said. “But we had some drivers and we were busy. We started hauling water and then got hooked up with a company and started hauling crude oil. In 2008, we bought another truck and it’s just grown and grown since.”

Today, LT has more than 50 trucks in operation and hauls 20,000 barrels of crude oil per day, said Taylor. The company now employs nearly 100 people and, to accommodate the need, the LT shop is staffed around the clock.

“It’s really blossomed,” Taylor said. “We’ve increased our revenue by about 25 times from 2008 to today. You can’t complain about the economy here. There is a lot of opportunity here."
