Until next time, keep your skills sharp and your eyes on the horizon. Opportunities are out there—go grab them.

Ran water and crude as an O/O last winter; for tanker gigs like this, ask dispatch to spell out “washout locations and rates” and whether you get standby/demurrage when rigs hold you. @WestPennEnergy if it’s oversized to the pad, clarify permit turnaround and if they reimburse pilot cars — saves more time than a second cup of truck‑stop coffee.

If you’re eyeing the tanker O/O slot, ask @WestPennEnergy whether you’ll need your own pump/blower and which camlock sizes they use — showing up without the right fittings turns a hot load into a cold stare. I got stuck on a night LACT for 2+ hours once due to no vapor line, so confirm pay while pumping and whether they cover steam/winterizing. Per‑barrel can work, but hourly with a 2‑hr minimum has treated me better on slow unloads.

Quick tip from last season: ask whether West Penn wants a current H2S card and if they provide a calibrated monitor or bill you for one. I’ve seen drivers turned away without it; some pads don’t enforce it, but that’s operator-dependent, @edwardR45.
