Acid. When I first hired on a year ago we were basically coil tubing support, pumping fluid and nitrogen for them. I didnt like that too much, theyd always find a way to screw us over! About 6months ago, they broke a crew off to just catch DFITs (pump fluid after wireline perforates so they can get data on the formation for the frac job) and catch acid jobs. Pretty much I sit in my brand-new 08 Kenworth most of the day waiting and pump for 10-15 minutes. It couldnt get any easier if I wanted it too

[MrJohnWayne]

yeah that is pretty easy!

[dumaisk]

It just looks overloaded. He couldn't afford the entire lift kit, just the front half...

If it was a FORD doing the pulling it would have 3 trucks on it.

[97stroker_roalin_coal]

thats a good old dodge for ya the cummins are power houses but i gurantee he had to start hitting the breaks a half mile before he actually had to stop their breaks are so under powered but uevery thing else it great

Three BACKUP trucks, when the one pulling either blew a head gasket or lost some injectors, hed roll one off the trailor and swap with the broke down one...hed have his last running truck a couple hundred miles from his destination and break down..."hey man, I need a tow, send me a Dodge so I dont have to spend all this time switchin trucks on the side of the highway"
