heres a lot of work to do in the effort
to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign
energy sources, but recent fgures
released from the federal Energy Informa-
tion Administration show resource compa-
nieswith a helping hand from all of you
support services professionalsare making
a big difference.
In 2011coincidentally the year this
magazine started publishingU.S. imports
of crude oil fell to 44.8 percent from 60.3
percent in 2005. That drop from nearly two-
thirds of our oil coming from foreign sourc-
es to less than half occurred in a few short
years, which is a testament to the effective-
ness of domestic exploration and advanced
extraction technologies.
The head of the EIA recently an-
nounced that North Dakotas oil output rose
to 639,000 barrels a day in May, the highest
production in the Bakken in more than 30
years. And Texas pumped 1.8 million barrels
a day from the Eagle Ford formation in April
and May, the highest production in 20 years.
Those fgures, coupled with a dip in
offshore production over the past few years,
prompted the EIAs Adam Sieminski to tell
a Bloomberg Government group that do-
mestic energy growth will continue to come
from onshore sources.
Whats happening in North Dakota
and Texas is a tremendous development for
U.S. oil production and economic growth,
he said.
Further cementing the importance of
the growth weve seen in shale oil produc-
tion, as well as tapping huge stores of natu-
ral gas in the Marcellus play, is the potential
negative impact widespread drought last
summer might play in ethanol production,
Sieminski said.
Were actually making ethanol out of
last years corn harvest, so the ability to man-
ufacture ethanol right now is probably not
being impacted as much by the drought, he
said. But that could be an issue.
What does this mean for contractors
who support the work of the energy compa-
nies? Keep your pedal to the metal.
Sure, many environmental concerns
have been raised during this unprecedented
buildup in domestic exploration, including
traffc issues and a population explosion on
the Bakken oil front in North Dakota. But the
prospect of North America freeing itself from
negative political issues that go hand-in-hand
with some foreign oil producers is undeni-
ably attractive.
I believe you hold the key to helping
energy companies generate the supply of oil
and natural gas that will blunt the impact of
OPEC and other foreign producers on North
American consumers. Working with rig
operators, you can introduce environmen-
tally sustainable practices for handling and
processing wastewater. You can transport,
erect and dismantle equipment in ways that
are sensitive to the demands of communities
where energy companies are guests. You can
house, feed and care for thousands of work-
ers on remote sites in a way that is respectful
to the workers and the communities sur-
rounding the camps.
These are exciting times of growth and
innovation for gas, oil and mining support
services companies. Youre playing an
important role in a newalbeit localenergy
frontier. You are hiring workers for family
sustaining jobs and buying sophisticated
equipment at a time when some industries
are still struggling. You have to please two
demanding clients: the energy companies
that hire you and the communities where
you live neighbors who expect you to
do your very best as an employer and good
corporate citizen.
Let me know how its going. If you
would like to share the story of your support
services company, drop me a line at editor@
gomcmag.com. I promise to give you a call
to learn more.

Keepin it clean
If theres one issue I keep harping on
for any company that gets down and dirty in
remote locations, its that cleanliness is criti-
cal to a professional image. Theres nothing
worse than a big vehicle rolling down the
road, caked in mud and grime, dropping
clods of dirt along the highway. And worse
still is if your companys name and logo are
showing through the mud, pointing you out
as someone who doesnt care how you look.
A dirty appearance is the bane of any
support services company. The message the
general public and potential new customers
may have when they see your flthy rig: If
they dont care how their equipment looks,
what else dont they care about? While
that might not be a completely fair assess-
menta dirty truck is a working truck, after
allyou dont want a messy rig to be what
people remember about you.
Jim Kneiszel
The prospect of North America freeing itself from negative political issues that go
hand-in-hand with some foreign oil producers is undeniably attractive.

Thats why Im so excited about a few
stories in this issue of GOMC. One of our
editorial focuses this month is on cleaning
and maintenance, and both our Product
Roundup and Tech Perspectives features
address my pet peeve of uncleanliness.
In the Product Roundup compiled by
Ed Wodalski, youll fnd information on a
variety of cleaning and jetting equipment,
in addition to vacuum pumps and capable
big-job trucks. In the Tech Perspectives story
by Peter Kenter, youll learn the fner points
of pressure washing and the benefts of
building your own vehicle washing station.
Both of these stories will help you more
effectively clean the crud off your custom-
ers rig equipment and show pride in your
feet of vehicles.

Get to Know the expo
This issue also kicks off several months
of stories aimed at introducing you to the
Pumper & Cleaner Environ-
mental Expo International,
set for Feb. 25-28, 2013, in
Indianapolis. The Expo is the
largest trade show covering
the wastewater industry, and
therefore touches on many of
the products and technolo-
gies used by gas, oil and min-
ing support services compa-
nies.
If youre already mak-
ing plans to attend the Expo,
I look forward to seeing you
there. If youve never been to
the Expo, I urge you to read
the articles in this and coming
issues and consider making
the trip. If your business relies
on vacuum, jetting, hydroex-
cavation and related equip-
ment, or you want to learn
more about advanced tools
available to support services
contractors in these areas,
theres no better place to do
it. GOMC
How are we doing? We strive to provide interesting
and helpful stories for support service contractors in the gas,
oil and mining industries. We welcome your comments,
questions and column suggestions, and promise a prompt
reply to all reader contacts. Call 800/257-7222 or email

The head of the EIA recently an-
nounced that North Dakotas oil output rose
to 639,000 barrels a day in May, the highest
production in the Bakken in more than 30
years. And Texas pumped 1.8 million barrels
a day from the Eagle Ford formation in April
and May, the highest production in 20 years.
Those fgures, coupled with a dip in
offshore production over the past few years,
prompted the EIAs Adam Sieminski to tell
a Bloomberg Government group that do-
mestic energy growth will continue to come
from onshore sources.
Whats happening in North Dakota
and Texas is a tremendous development for
U.S. oil production and economic growth,
he said.
Further cementing the importance of
the growth weve seen in shale oil produc-
tion, as well as tapping huge stores of natu-
ral gas in the Marcellus play, is the potential
negative impact widespread drought last
summer might play in ethanol production,
Sieminski said.
Were actually making ethanol out of
last years corn harvest, so the ability to man-
ufacture ethanol right now is probably not
being impacted as much by the drought, he
said. But that could be an issue.
What does this mean for contractors
who support the work of the energy compa-
nies? Keep your pedal to the metal.
Sure, many environmental concerns
have been raised during this unprecedented
buildup in domestic exploration, including
traffc issues and a population explosion on
the Bakken oil front in North Dakota. But the
prospect of North America freeing itself from
negative political issues that go hand-in-hand
with some foreign oil producers is undeni-
ably attractive.
I believe you hold the key to helping
energy companies generate the supply of oil
and natural gas that will blunt the impact of
OPEC and other foreign producers on North
American consumers. Working with rig
operators, you can introduce environmen-
tally sustainable practices for handling and
processing wastewater. You can transport,
erect and dismantle equipment in ways that
are sensitive to the demands of communities
where energy companies are guests. You can
house, feed and care for thousands of work-
ers on remote sites in a way that is respectful
to the workers and the communities sur-
rounding the camps.
These are exciting times of growth and
innovation for gas, oil and mining support
services companies. Youre playing an
important role in a newalbeit localenergy
frontier. You are hiring workers for family
sustaining jobs and buying sophisticated
equipment at a time when some industries
are still struggling. You have to please two
demanding clients: the energy companies
that hire you and the communities where
you live neighbors who expect you to
do your very best as an employer and good
corporate citizen.
Let me know how its going. If you
would like to share the story of your support
services company, drop me a line at editor@
gomcmag.com. I promise to give you a call
to learn more.

Keepin it clean
If theres one issue I keep harping on
for any company that gets down and dirty in
remote locations, its that cleanliness is criti-
cal to a professional image. Theres nothing
worse than a big vehicle rolling down the
road, caked in mud and grime, dropping
clods of dirt along the highway. And worse
still is if your companys name and logo are
showing through the mud, pointing you out
as someone who doesnt care how you look.
A dirty appearance is the bane of any
support services company. The message the
general public and potential new customers
may have when they see your flthy rig: If
they dont care how their equipment looks,
what else dont they care about? While
that might not be a completely fair assess-
menta dirty truck is a working truck, after
allyou dont want a messy rig to be what
people remember about you.

Thats why Im so excited about a few
stories in this issue of GOMC. One of our
editorial focuses this month is on cleaning
and maintenance, and both our Product
Roundup and Tech Perspectives features
address my pet peeve of uncleanliness.
In the Product Roundup compiled by
Ed Wodalski, youll fnd information on a
variety of cleaning and jetting equipment,
in addition to vacuum pumps and capable
big-job trucks. In the Tech Perspectives story
by Peter Kenter, youll learn the fner points
of pressure washing and the benefts of
building your own vehicle washing station.
Both of these stories will help you more
effectively clean the crud off your custom-
ers rig equipment and show pride in your
feet of vehicles.

Get to Know the expo
This issue also kicks off several months
of stories aimed at introducing you to the
Pumper & Cleaner Environ-
mental Expo International,
set for Feb. 25-28, 2013, in
Indianapolis. The Expo is the
largest trade show covering
the wastewater industry, and
therefore touches on many of
the products and technolo-
gies used by gas, oil and min-
ing support services compa-
nies.
If youre already mak-
ing plans to attend the Expo,
I look forward to seeing you
there. If youve never been to
the Expo, I urge you to read
the articles in this and coming
issues and consider making
the trip. If your business relies
on vacuum, jetting, hydroex-
cavation and related equip-
ment, or you want to learn
more about advanced tools
available to support services
contractors in these areas,
theres no better place to do
it. GOMC
How are we doing? We strive to provide interesting
and helpful stories for support service contractors in the gas,
oil and mining industries. We welcome your comments,

Theres no easy way to service portable restrooms in and haul gray and
black wastewater from mines in West Virginias rugged, mountainous coal-
felds. But Ron Crosier the owner of Crosiers Inc. in Lansing fnds
he can boost productivity and effciency with a feet of equipment built on
a very basic premise: Bigger is better. Much better.
Cover Story
The owner of the well-diversifed, waste-disposal services company says
his drivers routinely encounter seven- or eight-mile-long stretches of interstate
highways with 7 percent grades, and haul roads in coal mines with up to 15
percent grades. Mine roads are incredibly dusty in summer and axle-deep mud
is common in winter.
In summer, truck air flters clog very quickly the dust gets everywhere,
inside toolboxes and your truck cabs, says Crosier. And the mud is very det-
rimental to bearings, seals and tie-rods it all takes a huge toll on trucks.
Moreover, mine properties are so big it might take four to six hours to
service all the restrooms at just one mine, traveling on roads that traverse bone-
jarring, barren terrain that Crosier compares to the surface of the moon. Worse
THE GRADE
Big Rigs Make
West Virginia wastewater
hauler Crosiers Inc. relies on
heavy-duty trucks to serve
coal-mining customers

yet, the mine roads get rerouted sometimes on a monthly basis forcing
drivers to constantly relearn routes.
In addition, drivers often fnd themselves driving alongside massive min-
ing haul trucks with tires that stand taller than their vacuum trucks. The gruel-
ing conditions result in higher insurance payments, and mines require Crosiers
drivers to attend an annual eight-hour course that certifes theyre trained to
drive safely on mine property.
All of Crosiers restroom-route drivers also must obtain commercial drivers
licenses in order to legally drive the large, heavy-duty trucks. That benefts the
company by minimizing the chances for accidents and reducing truck-mainte-
nance costs because guys know how to drive them properly, says Crosier, who
bought the business in 1995 from his father, John, who founded it in 1964.

Beefy rigs
To handle the extreme driving conditions,
the company which also cleans grease traps,
then treats the grease and resells the resulting
brown grease buys pre-owned, heavy-duty,
single-axle semi-tractor trucks with rust-free
aluminum-and-fberglass cabs. The tractor chas-
sis then receive a customized, three-foot exten-
sion to allow for correct weight distribution of
the heavy loads.
Crosiers installs tanks bought from Satel-
lite Industries and pumps from Masport Inc.,
says Crosier, a for-
mer engineer who
graduated from
the West Virginia
Institute of Tech-
nology in 1986
and later earned a
masters degree in business administration from
Marshall University.
We buy trucks with 200,000 or so miles
on them because the engine and cab will last
until about 800,000 miles, says Crosier. The
trucks also have 35,000-pound gross vehicle
weights, as opposed to 26,000 pounds for a
typical restroom service truck.
Well put 40,000 to 50,000 miles a year
on the engine, he adds. The transmissions in
these trucks are huge and hold up to abuse. We
cant get that length of service out of a typical
portable restroom truck.
To minimize downtime from the wear and
tear, Crosiers employs two full-time mechanics.
Its a necessity, because the closest dealership
shop is 40 miles away. Wed either have to tow a truck a considerable dis-
tance, or drive it there, then transport the driver back to our shop not very
effcient, he points out.
On the restroom side of the business, Crosiers owns about 1,500 rest-
rooms, mostly manufactured by Satellite Industries (about half are deployed at
coal mines and the rest are used at construction sites and special events); and
roughly 30 hand-wash stations, made by PolyPortables Inc.
The company also owns three 2000 International 9100s with 2,000-
gallon aluminum tanks, made by Amthor International; a 1998 Peterbilt 385
with a 2,000-gallon, stainless steel tank made by Dyna-Vac Equipment; two
2007 International 4900s, one with a 2,000-gallon aluminum tank made by
Progress Vactruck and one with a 1,000-gallon, stainless steel Dyna-Vac tank;
and two 2003 GMC 4500 fatbed delivery trucks.

regulations helping
Stricter environmental regulations for wastewater discharge, enacted dur-
ing recent years, created additional service opportunities for hauling graywater
from on-site bath and shower houses. For some mines, its impractical to install
small waste treatment plants; theyre not only expensive, but theyre permanent
facilities, which arent a good ft within mining operations that move around,
depending on permits, the price of coal and other factors.
So its often cheaper to haul it than to treat it, Crosier explains. It was
a logical extension of our existing services. The mines needed companies with
vac trucks and sewage-hauling permits, and there we were.

Ron Crosier
Jeremy Lilly drains a septic tank at a
mine facility in Kanawha County, W.Va.
When mines do build small, package treatment centers, Crosiers some-
times obtains contracts to haul away the sludge that remains after treatment,
clean flters, add chlorine and dechlorination products, make sure alarms work,
and check for effuent cleanliness.
To haul graywater from mining bath and shower houses, the company
relies on a 2006 International 5900, outftted with a 4,800-gallon steel tank,
built by Imperial Industries Inc., and a Masport pump; and two 2007 Sterling
9500s with 4,800-gallon steel tanks made by Imperial
with a Masport blower.

Cleaning tanks
Crosiers also cleans large, aboveground tanks at
coal preparation plants. The plants use focculants to
treat contaminated water, a byproduct of the coal-clean-
ing process.
The focculants clean coal dust from the water so
it can be re-used, Crosier notes. But focculants have
a limited life because they gel. So we periodically clean
out the focculants. Its a long, arduous process to clean
5,000 to 10,000 gallons of focculants that are solidifed
like Jell-O.
We have to set up confned-space equipment
so our guys can physically get into the tanks and squee-
gee them clean with kerosene to remove focculants, he
continues. We also must use trucks with high vacuum
power. We need to move 1,500 to 2,000 cfm to drag
this stuff through the lines, so we use powerful blowers
instead of traditional vacuum pumps.
Anything that touches it hoses, clothes,
boots gets
thrown away
at the end of
the day because its ruined, he adds. We might clean only one focculant
tank a month, but it might take several days to do it.
To clean the tanks, Crosiers crews use a 1998 Sterling 9500 with a
4,800-gallon mild steel tank, made by Imperial, and a National Vacuum Equip-
ment Inc. blower that generates 1,500 cfm.

treatment plant plans
To handle the roughly 100,000 gallons of gray and black water the compa-
ny hauls each month, Crosiers is investing more than $500,000 in an on-site,
sewage treatment plant. It will be capable of handling 30,000 gallons a day and
will produce water that nearly meets drinking-water standards, which will allow
for less expensive surface discharge, Crosier says.
Until now, the company relied mostly on public waste treatment facilities
combined with land application on rented land. But the hassles of obtaining
TRADE ASSOCIATIONS BOOST GROWTh
As the owner of Crosiers Inc., a large waste-disposal services company based in Lansing,
W.Va., Ron Crosier is a believer in professional organizations, such as the National Association of
Wastewater Technicians (NAWT) and the Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI). The
groups are a great source of information about regulations, products and business operations
not to mention camaraderie.
Its good to spend time with people who endure what you endure in business, says Crosier,
who serves on the PSAI board of directors. It provides you with encouragement and motivation to
continue. It allows you to see that you can do this successfully and make money.
I wouldnt be in the restroom business today if I didnt attend PSAI, he adds. Ive learned so
much from other operators that I may not have discovered on my own. If youre thinking about
doing something diferent, I guarantee youll fnd someone whos already been doing it for 10 years
and can help you avoid reinventing the wheel.
As an example, Crosier cites damage waivers, in which customers pay a modest fee that absolves
them of any responsibility for restroom damage. He says the waivers can be lucrative, pointing out
that even a $5 waiver fee per month on 300 restrooms would net $18,000 a year.
Before I attended PSAI meetings, maybe 10 percent of my customers bought the waiver, he
says. Then I attended a PSAI meeting where damage waivers was a roundtable topic. I sat down and
learned the right way to sell a damage waiver and have had more than 90 percent takers ever since.
The money I make from damage waivers every year more than pays for the cost of attending
every PSAI meeting,he adds. If I never learned anything else, it was worth joining PSAI just for that.

Ron Crosier
approval permits and educating the public about the benefts of land applica-
tion have made on-site treatment more attractive, even though its more expen-
sive to build a treatment plant, he notes.
We will spend more than we do on land application, he says. But
theres so much tied up in the permitting process and so much time devoted to
dealing with the public that its not worthwhile, even though from an environ-
mental perspective, land application is the way to go.
Weve basically given up trying to educate people about it plus, it
seems like were always in a position where were looking for the next farm we
can use, and the next farm, and so on, Crosier says.
The company has about 600 acres per-
mitted right now for land application, and
spreads about a million gallons annually. But
Crosier says frequent complaints about truck
traffc or concerns about well water quality
explain his preference for an in-house treat-
ment plant.

pumped aBout serViCe
Its interesting to note that Crosier left a
corporate job years ago, trading in the perks
that come with being a structural engineer
for the challenges presented by portable
restrooms, grease traps, and sewage and sep-
tic waste. And in 17 years, he increased the
companys annual gross revenue to about $2
million from $225,000.
I had a nice offce with a wonderful
view and a great staff, he says of his old job.
When I told my co-workers what I intended
to do, they thought I was nuts. They couldnt
understand why someone would leave that
sort of work and a comfortable offce to do
this sort of work.
But they dont realize that when some-
one in this business needs you, they really
need you, he continues. And when you fx
their problems, theyre genuinely grateful that
youre there, doing what you
do. I didnt get that kind of
gratifcation working in an of-

much from other operators that I may not have discovered on my own. If youre thinking about
doing something diferent, I guarantee youll fnd someone whos already been doing it for 10 years
and can help you avoid reinventing the wheel.
As an example, Crosier cites damage waivers, in which customers pay a modest fee that absolves
them of any responsibility for restroom damage. He says the waivers can be lucrative, pointing out
that even a $5 waiver fee per month on 300 restrooms would net $18,000 a year.
Before I attended PSAI meetings, maybe 10 percent of my customers bought the waiver, he
says. Then I attended a PSAI meeting where damage waivers was a roundtable topic. I sat down and
learned the right way to sell a damage waiver and have had more than 90 percent takers ever since.
The money I make from damage waivers every year more than pays for the cost of attending
every PSAI meeting,he adds. If I never learned anything else, it was worth joining PSAI just for that.

approval permits and educating the public about the benefts of land applica-
tion have made on-site treatment more attractive, even though its more expen-
sive to build a treatment plant, he notes.
We will spend more than we do on land application, he says. But
theres so much tied up in the permitting process and so much time devoted to
dealing with the public that its not worthwhile, even though from an environ-
mental perspective, land application is the way to go.
Weve basically given up trying to educate people about it plus, it
seems like were always in a position where were looking for the next farm we
can use, and the next farm, and so on, Crosier says.
The company has about 600 acres per-
mitted right now for land application, and
spreads about a million gallons annually. But
Crosier says frequent complaints about truck
traffc or concerns about well water quality
explain his preference for an in-house treat-
ment plant.

pumped aBout serViCe
Its interesting to note that Crosier left a
corporate job years ago, trading in the perks
that come with being a structural engineer
for the challenges presented by portable
restrooms, grease traps, and sewage and sep-
tic waste. And in 17 years, he increased the
companys annual gross revenue to about $2
million from $225,000.
I had a nice offce with a wonderful
view and a great staff, he says of his old job.
When I told my co-workers what I intended
to do, they thought I was nuts. They couldnt
understand why someone would leave that
sort of work and a comfortable offce to do
this sort of work.
But they dont realize that when some-
one in this business needs you, they really
need you, he continues. And when you fx
their problems, theyre genuinely grateful that
youre there, doing what you
do. I didnt get that kind of
gratifcation working in an of-
fce. GOMC

The VTB.XL series of air-injected, positive
displacement blowers from Hibon, a division of
Ingersoll Rand, provide 900 to 7,000 cfm with
maximum vacuum greater than 28 inches Hg,
achieved via an air injection system that allows
cooling air to enter the blower at the exhaust.
Cool air reduces the rate of thermal expansion of the lobes at higher vacuum
to control the clearances between the lobes and housing. Location of the cool-
ing air near the exhaust of the blower ensures the air will exit through the ex-
haust and not escape into the inlet. The design eliminates water cooling, heat
exchangers, oil consumption and effuent. Other features include improved
sealing and oil capacity for increased performance and lower maintenance.

to help attendees get even more out of their
time in Indy.
Once a year there is a gathering of
the best in the industry, says Bob Kendall,
co-founder of COLE Publishing and presi-
dent of COLE, Inc. The best manufactur-
ers, dealers and suppliers meet with the best
pumpers, cleaners and service contractors.
This gathering provides unequaled oppor-
tunity to see, learn, grow and develop their
businesses.
Education Day will kick off the 2013
Pumper & Cleaner Expo, providing an
opportunity to acquire the strategies and
technical know-how to push your business
or utility forward. Topics cover everything
from Pump Choices and Settings to The
Science and Engineering of Onsite Wastewater
Treatment. Pumpers, cleaners and other
wastewater professionals will have the
opportunity to learn from the industrys top
experts, gaining insight on best practices
and strategies for growth and success.
Education Day also facilitates free dialogue
among your peers, so you can seek and share
advice and experiences that competitors
might otherwise keep to themselves. Its a
day dedicated to helping you expand your
knowledge base and improve your craft.
The learning opportunities wont end
when the fnal session lets out on Mon-
day afternoon. Educational seminars are
also slated for Tuesday and Wednesday,
and Roundtable Discussions will be held

features one of the most expansive lineups
of educational opportunities in the events
33-year history.
Attendees will learn about new tools,
technologies and methods for solving spe-
cifc problems; fne-tune their knowledge
of basic in-the-feld practices; and learn
business leadership skills that transform
their performance and proft. And Expo
education courses count toward continuing
education credits in many states. Check out
the Expo website (www.pumpershow.com)
for specifc information on your state.
Of course, its not all about the class-
room. The massive display of tools, trucks
and technology helps contractors stay on

facturers, kick the tires on the latest equip-
ment, and network with the people who

Theres no better place to network
with others who understand your busi-
ness, says Kendall. The free exchange
of knowledge and experience is priceless.

e live in a stressful 24/7 society,
flled with uncertainty in the job
market and the economy. A large
percentage of employees admit to being un-
happy with and psychologically disengaged
from their jobs.
Recent research shows that among the
least-happy and least-engaged employees,
the annual per-person cost of lost productiv-
ity due to sick days is more than $28,000,
versus only $840 among the happiest and
most engaged employees. Furthermore,
job stress alone is estimated to cost the
U.S. industry at least $300 billion a year
in absenteeism, diminished productivity,
employee turnover and direct medical, legal
and insurance fees.
Matt has been a manager for 16 years.
Although his employees seem satisfed with
their compensation, surveys conducted with
them consistently show that their job satis-
faction and morale are low and their stress
levels are high. Matt has been well trained,
but seems at a loss to help his employees feel
more engaged or happy with their jobs.
Because he feels helpless to change the
job situation for his employees, Matt, himself,
is stressed at work and is unhappy in his
supervisor role. Can Matt regain his passion
for his profession? Are there techniques he
can use which will immediately enhance
his employees satisfaction and morale?
Absolutely!
The following are powerful prescrip-
tions for enhancing employee morale and
job performance and minimizing job stress:

Provide goal-setting strategies.
People are 11 times more likely to
reach a goal when they write it down, as
opposed to simply thinking about the goal.
Have regular meetings with your team,
where in addition to encouraging them
to discuss their areas of discontentment,
join with them in writing down specifc
short- and long-term goals that are action-
oriented.
For example, For this month, we will
have four meetings where we will design
and implement our new plan for a healthy
workplace. Your goal is to bring an idea
with you to each meeting.
Have them write down ways in which
they can sabotage themselves so that they
will not accomplish those goals. Encour-
age them to be honest with themselves
about the kinds of self-talk or self-defeating
behaviors that they have engaged in before,
which contribute to not accomplishing
their goals.

Give employees a sense of control over
their jobs.
Psychological studies show its impor-
tant to give employees a genuine say in how
to conduct their jobs. Not only does the
perception that management truly cares
about their feelings have a powerful impact
on their morale and degree of job engage-
ment, but giving workers some control over
their own schedule (such as fex time) and
how to approach their work tasks dramati-
cally reduces job burnout, absenteeism and
turnover.
Have frequent meetings with your
employees directed at listening to their
issues and allow them to suggest resolu-
tions. Encourage workers to determine
their own specifc strengths and put them
to use on their jobs. When this is done,
employees are six times as likely to be
engaged in their jobs and more than three
times as likely to report excellent quality of
life at their workplace.
Other examples of providing employ-
ees opportunities for involvement are:
Self-managed work teams
Employee committees or task forces
Continuous improvement teams
A team-centered hiring process, where
employees select their peers
Participative decision-making projects

Develop growth and development
programs.
Most employees want to gain new
skills and knowledge so they dont feel
stagnant in their jobs. Information pro-
vided by outside experts that helps them
in their jobs and in their lives can serve
these needs. Providing lunchtime seminars
and workshops on such topics as stress
mastery, anger mastery, enhanced well-
ness, communications skills, as well as
cross-training them with other job skills
enhances organizational effectiveness and
improves work quality.

Provide recognition events.
Its a no-brainer for companies to pro-
vide top service for their customers and
clients, but they often forget their most im-
portant assetstheir employees. Why not

make employees feel as valued as your cus-
tomers? By acknowledging their efforts
not just their productivityyou increase
employee satisfaction, morale and self-
esteem. Examples of providing recognition:
Give unpredictable rewards, such as
movie tickets and gift certifcates, for
a job well done.
Create a committee to plan special
events to show appreciation for your
employees.
Provide free, healthy lunch options
for employees (this also benefts the
company by having employees stay in
the building to discuss work-related
issues during lunch).
Encourage friendly com-
petition off the job, such
as bowling leagues, and
post pictures and results
around the work sites.

tant to give employees a genuine say in how
to conduct their jobs. Not only does the
perception that management truly cares
about their feelings have a powerful impact
on their morale and degree of job engage-
ment, but giving workers some control over
their own schedule (such as fex time) and
how to approach their work tasks dramati-
cally reduces job burnout, absenteeism and
turnover.
Have frequent meetings with your
employees directed at listening to their
issues and allow them to suggest resolu-
tions. Encourage workers to determine
their own specifc strengths and put them
to use on their jobs. When this is done,
employees are six times as likely to be
engaged in their jobs and more than three
times as likely to report excellent quality of
life at their workplace.
Other examples of providing employ-
ees opportunities for involvement are:
Self-managed work teams
Employee committees or task forces
Continuous improvement teams
A team-centered hiring process, where
employees select their peers
Participative decision-making projects

Develop growth and development
programs.
Most employees want to gain new
skills and knowledge so they dont feel
stagnant in their jobs. Information pro-
vided by outside experts that helps them
in their jobs and in their lives can serve
these needs. Providing lunchtime seminars
and workshops on such topics as stress
mastery, anger mastery, enhanced well-
ness, communications skills, as well as
cross-training them with other job skills
enhances organizational effectiveness and
improves work quality.

Provide recognition events.
Its a no-brainer for companies to pro-
vide top service for their customers and
clients, but they often forget their most im-
portant assetstheir employees. Why not

s business increased in the Marcellus formation natural gas felds, Cal-
vin McCutcheon faced an increasingly perplexing dilemma: How to
combine the power of a high-fow combination vacuum truck with the
larger capacity of a big vacuum truck that would also help reduce drilling pad
congestionand decrease customer costs.
The owner of McCutcheon Enterprises Inc. in Apollo, Pa., which provides
transportation, disposal and on-site environmental services, found a solution
in customized vacuum trucks made by ITI Trailers & Truck Bodies Inc. The
company took delivery of three trucks in April and May.
Built on 2012 Peterbilt 367 chassis and equipped with low-emission, fuel-
effcient diesel PACCAR Inc. engines, the trucks feature 4,200-gallon stainless
steel tanks, a hydraulic hoist for effcient dumping through a full-opening rear
door, and a 921 cfm blower made by National Vacuum Equipment Inc.
Larger payLoad
We went with a blower because we serve the oil and gas industries, Mc-
Cutcheon says. Pumps are good for moving liquids, but our specialty is haul-
ing cuttings from drilling, so we need a little more power to move them faster
from tanks or shakers into the truck tank.
These trucks can haul much larger payloads than conventional high-fow
vac trucks because theres no extra weight from all the blowers and silencers,
which take up a lot of the capacity. This design keeps the equipment weight
down so we can haul more payload for customers with fewer trips contribut-
ing to less traffc on congested secondary roads.
For some jobs, the company uses a high-fow combination truck in con-
junction with multiple roll-off vacuum boxes. Crews use hoses and valves to fll
the boxes with sludge, one at a time, without the truck ever shutting down. But
each vacuum box also requires a roll-off truck for delivery and pickup, which
contributes to congested work sites and increases manpower requirements,
McCutcheon says.
Because our ITI trucks are strong enough to pull material, we now can
have just one truck entering and exiting a job site, he explains. We also need
just one operator and one truck to do the work that used to be performed by
two operators and two trucks. That leaves more employees and equipment to
service more clients.

The RighT Tool FoR The Job
To haul Marcellus Shale drilling cuttings more effciently, McCutcheon Enterprises Inc.
turns to purpose-built units built by ITI Trailers & Truck Bodies, Inc.
By Ken Wysocky
Three ITI Trailer & Truck Bodies vacuum rigs help
McCutcheon Enterprises collect drilling cuttings
efciently and take up less room on the job site.

Moreover, the ITI trucks are less expensive for customers than the high-
fow vac trucks. That helps McCutcheon Enterprises reduce operating expenses
to stay more in line with what customers want to pay, he notes.
Thats not to say that the company no longer needs its four GapVax high-
fow combo trucks. It just allows the company more fexibility to select the right
truck for different applications, he says.

FITTINg THe NICHe
These trucks ft a nice niche, McCutcheon says. Theyre a good inter-
mediate unit that works very well for us in the industry. They keep down the
cost to customers and provide better service.
The trucks full-opening rear doors boost productivity because they dump
debris more effciently, and dont require hiring a contractor to suck sludge out
of the bottom of the tanks. McCutcheon also lauds the improved fuel economy,
which reduces operating expenses; and the stainless steel tanks, which boost
long-term durability.
McCutcheon also cites the trucks reliabilitya critical element in an in-
dustry where breakdowns can cost customers thousands of dollars per hour.
Screw up once, and you might get a warning, he says. Screw up twice,
and youre probably not going to get another job. Theyre running on a tight
schedule to get the next stage of a rig torn down or set up. Time is money.
Overall, McCutcheon says the three ITI trucks have established themselves
as valuable pieces of equipment in a short amount of time.
Ordering these trucks was a great decision, he says. Theyve proved to
be the right trucks for the jobnot too big and not too small. Theyre just the
right size to meet our customers objectives and help us provide great service.

Moreover, the ITI trucks are less expensive for customers than the high-
fow vac trucks. That helps McCutcheon Enterprises reduce operating expenses
to stay more in line with what customers want to pay, he notes.
Thats not to say that the company no longer needs its four GapVax high-
fow combo trucks. It just allows the company more fexibility to select the right
truck for different applications, he says.

FITTINg THe NICHe
These trucks ft a nice niche, McCutcheon says. Theyre a good inter-
mediate unit that works very well for us in the industry. They keep down the
cost to customers and provide better service.
The trucks full-opening rear doors boost productivity because they dump
debris more effciently, and dont require hiring a contractor to suck sludge out
of the bottom of the tanks. McCutcheon also lauds the improved fuel economy,
which reduces operating expenses; and the stainless steel tanks, which boost
long-term durability.
McCutcheon also cites the trucks reliabilitya critical element in an in-
dustry where breakdowns can cost customers thousands of dollars per hour.
Screw up once, and you might get a warning, he says. Screw up twice,
and youre probably not going to get another job. Theyre running on a tight
schedule to get the next stage of a rig torn down or set up. Time is money.
Overall, McCutcheon says the three ITI trucks have established themselves
as valuable pieces of equipment in a short amount of time.
Ordering these trucks was a great decision, he says. Theyve proved to
be the right trucks for the jobnot too big and not too small. Theyre just the
right size to meet our customers objectives and help us provide great service.

For drill pipe cleaning,
water jet systems beat
your usual method
You can get drill pipe back into service sooner and keep it working
longer when you clean it with NLB high-pressure water jets.
Our water jets (up to 40,000 psi) remove scale and hardened mud
more thoroughly than rattle-and-brush systems, making it easier to
pass inspections. Water jets also ush out debris and drilling uids
without a separate rinse operation. That means fewer plugged drill
heads, less corrosion, and more work done between cleanings.
For drill pipe that easily passes inspections and goes longer between
cleanings, you cant beat water jets. To learn more about NLB
cleaning systems, or ask about converting your existing system , call
1-877-NLB-7988 today.

Tech Perspectives
From extraction through processing, equipment used
in the gas, oil and mining sector is subject to some of the grimiest dirt imagin-
able. a consistent pressure washing regimen keeps equipment clean, improves
operator safety, promotes a professional image and maintains the value of capi-
tal equipment. so says rob smith, a national sales manager with hotsy pressure
Washers, in Bentonville, ark.
the company manufactures
pressure washers and detergents to
serve a broad range of industries,
including the gas, oil and mining
sector through a nationwide dealer
network. smith has extensive expe-
rience in arkansas, texas, Louisiana,
oklahoma and missouri, where
gas and oil represent the primary
resource market. the area also in-
cludes some coal mining operations,
both above and belowground.
For gas and oil, the majority of cleaning jobs we encounter involve the
drilling fuids used to lubricate the drill bits, oil-based muds and water-based
mud, which combines with equipment grease and grit, says smith. the oil-
based mud is the tougher of the two to clean off, because it gets everywhere
from the drilling platform to the equipment. it also gets splashed back and forth
on everything from forklifts to trucks and front-end loaders.

Mud, dust and fracking fluid
in shale gas, the worst cleaning jobs involve fracking fuid, which splashes
and spills on everything in the vicinity of the operation, not only as it goes into
the well, but also on backwash. that backwash fuid also combines with mud
and dust on the site. Fracking service trucks get an extra helping of grime when
they leave wet and travel on dusty roads to their next destination.

dust and oil can quickly build up on any resource sector equipment,
causing it to overheat and even shut down, says smith. cleaning is a neces-
sary process that needs to be applied consistently.
smith says that equipment design has evolved signifcantly to cater to the
resource sector since the company produced its frst pressure washers in the
early 1970s.
originally the pressure washing units employed a gasoline engine in the
hot water section of the machine, he says. But because those models present-
ed an open fame on the burner unit and the possibility of sparks, they needed
to be kept 200 feet or more away from the rig. You would have to extend a hose
to deliver the hot water to the business end of the cleaning job.
the company developed diesel-oil-fred pressure washers, which eliminat-
ed the spark and allowed the units to sit closer to the rig, but fnally settled on
electric units for maximum compatibility with oil feld work.
the pressure washers are now available with an electric pump for pres-
sure and electrically heated water, says smith. there are plenty of electrical
outlets and freshwater outlets located on the rigs, so it allows operators to place
the electric hot-water washers right up on the drilling platform. in many cases,
theyre mounted right to the drilling platform, so when they break down the rig
it takes away that concern of having to remove the pressure washer and possibly
losing or replacing it between setups.

Washing under pressure
pressure washing manufacturers have their own designs for the equipment
wash cycle, which consists of soap application and the follow-up rinse. to deal
effectively with oil-based drilling muds, the hotsy units apply soap at high pres-
sure and then rinse at high pressure, as well.
the rig-mounted units produce signifcant pressure, says smith. they
put out 4 gallons a minute of 200-degree water at 3,000 psi.
the rules of effective pressure washing are similar to those taught to ado-
lescents in grade school hygiene classes. in pressure washing, you always apply
the soap to any equipment from the bottom up and then rinse it from the top
down, says smith. it doesnt matter if its a drill, a section of the rig or a feld
vehicle.
on drilling rigs, cleaning is a constant operation undertaken by rig hands
and toolpushers who attack the areas of greatest buildup as they observe them.
electric power washers are ideal for these jobs because theres no startup and
shutdown procedure required. they can just pull out the washer gun and
wash any part of the rig immediately, says smith.
as rigs are torn down, theyre generally cleaned by rig washing contractors
who specialize in the heavy-duty dirt and grease that accumulates in areas that
are harder to reach during drilling operations.
these guys bring in the larger trailer-mounted units that can fre out
10 gallons of cleaning power per minute, says smith. its a complete and
thorough cleaning of every piece of the rig as its disassembled. theyll even
clean every length of drill pipe inside and out before theyll let it get back on
the highway.
Car wash operators have long claimed a clean car drives better.
In the gas, oil and mining sector, a clean vehicle is not only a signal to
clients that your company is interested in presenting a professional image,
it also adds considerably to equipment longevity and increases resale value.
The last thing you want to show the public is that your grime-caked
vehicle is dropping chunks of mud on the highway between jobs, says
Rob Smith, a national sales manager with Hotsy Pressure Washers. On
the maintenance side, you need to ask yourself whether you think that a
mechanic is more likely to want to get near a truck that has been consistently
cleaned or one thats weighed down with layers of dirt. Diagnosing a
problem can also be difcult when you cant actually see the part that needs
to be replaced or worked on.
Vehicles are most often cleaned using stationary wash bays, which are
purpose-designed from standard components to suit the application. These
components include anything from the pressure washers themselves, to
wash wands, nozzles, overhead booms, hose reels, hose trolleys, automatic
undercarriage cleaners and containment pits for wastewater. Coal mining
wash bays, whether above or belowground, will feature water heated by
electricity, while the water in other wash bays is heated with natural gas or
liquid propane.

designing a Wash bay
The advantage in designing your own wash bay is that you can decide
how many people are going to be washing a certain number of vehicles at
a time, and what makes the most economic sense for your operation, says
Smith. The idea here is to make sure that the system you design isnt more
extensive than you really need. Do you want 5 gallons a minute at 300 psi for
one worker, or 10 gallons a minute at the same pressure for two workers? Do
you need one small bay for one operator, or 10 bays in a row, so 20 workers
can wash vehicles simultaneously? We try to optimize the design size for
the client, who can always choose to add another bay later on if necessary.
Various accessories are used to clean a wide area or get into the nooks
and crannies of the vehicle. These range from spray nozzles covering a
40-degree range to pencil point nozzles that focus all their energy on tough
grime. Other nozzles spin to provide sprays that attack dirt from all sides.
On really tough jobs, for instance, a truck covered with baked-on drilling
mud, a little pretreatment with a foaming agent will help to soften dirty
deposits. Smith says the process should take no longer than fve minutes.
In smaller operations, mechanics may be assigned to clean the vehicles
themselves, prior to servicing. But in general, theyre mechanics, not wash
guys, Smith notes. The cleaner the vehicle is before it gets to them, the
better the job theyre going to deliver.

rop into any hardware store or
home improvement center and
youre likely to fnd aisles full
of tools labeled ergonomic. But what
exactly does that mean for contractor users?
Simply put, ergonomics is the science of de-
signing and producing tools, furniture and
other work-related implements to improve a
workers effciency while reducing discom-
fort, fatigue and risk of injury.
Ergonomically enhanced tools can in-
clude helpful features like angled handles,
padded handgrips and non-slip coatings.
However, no matter how impressive a tools
design is, its almost impossible for it to be
universally ergonomic since human phy-
siques and project applications vary greatly
from one to the next.
Whether youre shopping for ergonom-
ic tools or just trying to select the right one
for the job from an existing collection, the
key things to consider are whether or not
the tool fts your hand, how well it suits the
job being done, and if it prevents you from
straining in ways that could lead to injury.
Regardless of how user-friendly a tool is pur-
ported to be, the most important deciding
factor in what makes a tool ergonomic is,
ultimately, you.
To make the decision process a little
easier, here are some guidelines for choosing
the right ergonomic hand tool for your body
type and the job at hand:
Because fnger size and placement differs
for every user, avoid using tools whose
handles have built-in fnger grooves. When
fngers dont naturally align with grooves,
excessive pressure from the raised groove
edges can cause discomfort and injury.
Choose tools with handles that are cov-
ered in a soft material, like foam or fexible
plastic. Cushioned handles are not only
comfortable for long hours of use, but
they provide a much frmer grip and cut
down on slippage. Hard-handled tools can
be quickly and inexpensively converted by
adding a soft sleeve.
Ensure tool handles are free from sharp
edges and seams that might irritate or cut
the hands.
When selecting double-handle gripping
and cutting tools, opt for ones with spring-
loaded handles that will automatically
return to the open position.
If you need to forcefully pinch or grip an
object for an extended time, prevent mus-
cle strain by switching from standard pli-
ers to a clamp or grip.
Only use tools that allow you to work with
your wrist in a straight position.
For tasks that require force, such as torqu-
ing screws and nuts, hammering and
heavy chiseling, choose single-handle
tools with handle diameters from 1 1/4
to 2 inches. Larger handles allow fngers
to wrap comfortably around the tool in a
power grip, which prevents slippage and
reduces stress and impact on hands, fn-
gers and wrists.
For tasks that call for more precision and
delicacy (like fne chiseling and driving
miniature screws), opt for single-handle
tools whose grips fall within the 1/4- to
1/2-inch range. The smaller diameter
handles make it easy to comfortably grip
tools between the fngertips without over-
exerting fngers, knuckle joints or hand
muscles.
Just as grip diameter affects work with
single-handle tools, the grip span of pli-
ers, snips, cable cutters and other double-
handle tools can either make your job
easier or cause hand fatigue. For maxi-
mum comfort and effciency for tasks
requiring more force (like gripping with
large pliers, cutting wires, or snipping
through sheet metal), choose tools with
a maximum open grip span of 3 1/2
inches, and a closed grip span no less
than 2 inches across.
Detailed jobs involving grasping small
parts and components with pincers, twee-
zers or tongs are best done with double-
handle tools whose grip spans range from
no less than 1 inch (closed) to no more
than 3 inches (open).
When a work space is tight but the task
at hand requires a good deal of force, opt
for power grip tools (with handle diam-
eters from 1 1/4 to 2 inches), which are
grasped with the entire hand instead of
just pinched between the fngertips. This
type of grip lets you fnish the job in far
less time, with far less physical stress.
Tool length should also be matched to
space constraints. Excessively long tools
can force you to assume awkward work
postures and wrist positions when youre
trying to reach components in cramped
areas. Instead, choose short-handled tools
that give you the freedom to meet the tar-
get work area directly, while keeping your
wrist straight.
The palms of your hands are full of pres-
sure-sensitive nerves and blood vessels,
and in order to avoid damaging these
during high-force tasks, its important to
make sure that the handles of your tools
are long enough that their ends wont
press into your palms. To measure, hold
your hand palm-up, with fngers together
and thumb against the side of your hand.
As long as the tools handle is longer
than the widest part of your hand (the
span from the outer edge of your pinkie
to the outer edge of your thumb), its safe
to use. GOMC

key things to consider are whether or not
the tool fts your hand, how well it suits the
job being done, and if it prevents you from
straining in ways that could lead to injury.
Regardless of how user-friendly a tool is pur-
ported to be, the most important deciding
factor in what makes a tool ergonomic is,
ultimately, you.
To make the decision process a little
easier, here are some guidelines for choosing
the right ergonomic hand tool for your body
type and the job at hand:
Because fnger size and placement differs
for every user, avoid using tools whose
handles have built-in fnger grooves. When
fngers dont naturally align with grooves,
excessive pressure from the raised groove
edges can cause discomfort and injury.
Choose tools with handles that are cov-
ered in a soft material, like foam or fexible
plastic. Cushioned handles are not only
comfortable for long hours of use, but
they provide a much frmer grip and cut
down on slippage. Hard-handled tools can
be quickly and inexpensively converted by
adding a soft sleeve.
Ensure tool handles are free from sharp
edges and seams that might irritate or cut
the hands.
When selecting double-handle gripping
and cutting tools, opt for ones with spring-
loaded handles that will automatically
return to the open position.
If you need to forcefully pinch or grip an
object for an extended time, prevent mus-
cle strain by switching from standard pli-
ers to a clamp or grip.
Only use tools that allow you to work with
your wrist in a straight position.
For tasks that require force, such as torqu-
ing screws and nuts, hammering and
heavy chiseling, choose single-handle
tools with handle diameters from 1 1/4
to 2 inches. Larger handles allow fngers
to wrap comfortably around the tool in a
power grip, which prevents slippage and
reduces stress and impact on hands, fn-
gers and wrists.
For tasks that call for more precision and
delicacy (like fne chiseling and driving
miniature screws), opt for single-handle
tools whose grips fall within the 1/4- to
1/2-inch range. The smaller diameter
handles make it easy to comfortably grip
tools between the fngertips without over-
exerting fngers, knuckle joints or hand
muscles.
Just as grip diameter affects work with
single-handle tools, the grip span of pli-
ers, snips, cable cutters and other double-
handle tools can either make your job
easier or cause hand fatigue. For maxi-
mum comfort and effciency for tasks
requiring more force (like gripping with
large pliers, cutting wires, or snipping
through sheet metal), choose tools with
a maximum open grip span of 3 1/2
inches, and a closed grip span no less
than 2 inches across.
Detailed jobs involving grasping small
parts and components with pincers, twee-
zers or tongs are best done with double-
handle tools whose grip spans range from
no less than 1 inch (closed) to no more
than 3 inches (open).
When a work space is tight but the task
at hand requires a good deal of force, opt
for power grip tools (with handle diam-
eters from 1 1/4 to 2 inches), which are
grasped with the entire hand instead of
just pinched between the fngertips. This
type of grip lets you fnish the job in far
less time, with far less physical stress.
Tool length should also be matched to
space constraints. Excessively long tools
can force you to assume awkward work
postures and wrist positions when youre
trying to reach components in cramped
areas. Instead, choose short-handled tools
that give you the freedom to meet the tar-
get work area directly, while keeping your
wrist straight.
The palms of your hands are full of pres-
sure-sensitive nerves and blood vessels,
and in order to avoid damaging these
during high-force tasks, its important to
make sure that the handles of your tools
are long enough that their ends wont
press into your palms. To measure, hold
your hand palm-up, with fngers together
and thumb against the side of your hand.
As long as the tools handle is longer
than the widest part of your hand (the
span from the outer edge of your pinkie
to the outer edge of your thumb), its safe
to use. GOMC

Product Spotlight
The Terramac RT9 rubber track multi-purpose carrier from Rig Source
has an 18,000-pound carrying capacity and is powered by a 230 hp Cum-
mins diesel engine in both open-cab and close-cab options. Designed to
be a utility vehicle, features include tilt-forward hood for easy engine com-
partment access, rollover protection structure (ROPS) and falling object
protective structure (FOPS). Ground pressure when fully loaded is 4.9 psi.
General maintenance is minimal grease and fuid checks. Theyre not
high-maintenance machines, says Mike Crimaldi, president of Rig Source
and one of the creators of the Terramac line. There are some suspension
grease fttings, but its pretty minimal.
The unit measures 17 feet, 7 inches long, 8 feet, 5 inches wide and 9
feet, 3 inches high with 20-inch minimum ground clearance and 27-inch
track width. The dump bed is 4 feet, 4 inches high, 8 feet, 6 inches wide
with 16-inch dump side and 60-degree dumping angle. Travel speed is 2.5
to 6 mph with a 10-foot turning radius. The unit weighs 22,500 pounds
and has a 42-gallon fuel capacity.
We created
the RT9 with cus-
tomization as a top
priority, Crimaldi
says. The ability to
mount a variety of machines is the RT9s core differentiator and strength.
Original equipment manufacturers as well as contractors can mount their
own machines cranes, drills, waters tanks, etc. on the carriers.
On oil and gas sites, the crawler can carry equipment up and down
hills that pickup trucks cant navigate. Mining companies use the crawler
for carrying core samples in exploratory drilling and as a support vehicle to
carry water, drill pipe and fuel.
The RT9 is the frst of four Terramac models released by Rig Source.
Each will be powered by a Cummins engine and will vary in carrying
capacity. 630/365-1649; www.terramac.com.
