Manager of an oilfield trucking company.

Some of my problems… Stay within legal allowable working hours in a 24 hr industry that does not require constant night shifts. So if I keep a night shift my guys starve until something comes in for them. Or get rid of night shift but piss customers off for not having a truck for them when night stuff comes in.

Maintain new safety standards for the Government while not going broke.

Staying afloat in a small business while big corporations move in and take over while refusing to pay but every 120 days and that’s if they feel like it.

Trying to manage a company while new owners who are trust fund babies play business.

Compete with my neighboring state who has low taxes which allow companies from there to underbid me.

But hey, I am employed. Thank you lord!
