Trucking

Tanker and vacuum-truck transport of crude oil, produced water, and other oilfield fluids from lease tanks and saltwater disposal points to gathering systems, terminals, or disposal wells. Includes crude gathering runs that consolidate barrels from multiple wellheads.

Multi-truck operations that disassemble, transport, and reassemble drilling rigs and large surface equipment between locations using heavy-haul tractors, lowboys, and winch trucks. Loads frequently exceed legal axle and width limits and move under oversize/overweight permits with pilot-car escorts.

Bulk transport of proppant sand and ceramics using pneumatic, belly-dump, or containerized trailers feeding hydraulic fracturing operations. Loads are weight-sensitive and dispatched to stay ahead of frac pumping schedules.

Open-deck flatbed, step-deck, and double-drop trailers that haul tubulars, casing, pipe, tanks, skidded equipment, and general oilfield freight. Used for the bulk of equipment and materials movement that fits within or near legal dimensions.

Open-deck flatbed, step-deck, and double-drop trailers hauling OCTG pipe, line pipe, structural steel, and skidded equipment that load or unload from the side or top. The standard configuration for tubular and rig-component freight.

Vacuum trucks and tanker trailers that transport produced water, flowback, drilling mud, and other liquids between the wellpad, treatment facilities, and disposal wells. Tank configurations vary by fluid corrosivity and whether the load is classified hazardous.

Permitted movement of overweight and oversize loads such as drilling rigs, mud systems, and large pressure vessels using lowboy, multi-axle, and detachable-gooseneck trailers. Requires state permits and may need pilot/escort vehicles.

Crude oil tank trucks that gather produced oil from lease tanks and deliver it to gathering stations, terminals, or pipeline injection points. Operations include custody-transfer metering and compliance with petroleum transport regulations.

Coordinated multi-load relocation of drilling and workover rigs, including derricks, substructures, pumps, and tanks, between well locations. Combines heavy-haul trailers, winch trucks, and gin-pole trucks under a single move plan.

Pneumatic and bulk dump/belt trailers that deliver proppant sand and aggregate to completion sites and supply yards. High-volume hydraulic fracturing campaigns require sustained sand delivery, often staged through transload sites and last-mile containers.

Specialized cryogenic and pressurized tank-trailer transport of natural gas liquids and liquefied natural gas to fractionators, fueling points, and remote demand sites. Operated under PHMSA hazardous-materials rules for flammable cargo.

Fuel tank trucks that supply diesel, gasoline, and lubricants to rigs, frac spreads, generators, and equipment fleets. On-site refueling keeps continuous-operation equipment running and is metered for billing and inventory.

Expedited delivery of time-critical smaller loads, typically using medium-duty trucks with gooseneck or bumper-pull trailers. Used to rush parts, tools, and replacement equipment to active sites to avoid downtime.

Enclosed dry-van transport for palletized parts, consumables, chemicals, and weather-sensitive equipment that do not require open-deck or bulk handling. Used for general field supply and warehouse-to-yard movement.

Time-critical small-load delivery using medium-duty trucks and gooseneck trailers to rush parts, tools, or short pipe runs to active sites. Fills gaps between scheduled full-truckload shipments.

Transport of H2S-bearing (sour) fluids and other hazardous loads under PHMSA Hazardous Materials Regulations, requiring HazMat-endorsed drivers, gas detection, and specialized safety procedures. Carriers maintain placarding, spill response, and operator H2S certification.
