The Difference Between A Good Hitch And A Bad One Is The People.

Same location. Same hours. Same bullshit.

One crew makes it fly by. The other makes every minute feel like ten.

Doesn't matter if you're on a drilling rig, frac, coil tubing unit, wireline, or roustabout crew. The job is the job. The people are what change everything.

A good crew covers for each other. A bad crew points fingers when shit goes wrong.

A good supervisor rotates guys out. A bad one plays favorites and runs you into the dirt.

A good hand shows the new guy how it's done. A bad one watches him fuck up and laughs about it at the doghouse.

I've taken less money to work with the right people. I've seen guys quit $35/hr jobs because the crew was trash.

Rig floor, pump down, flowback, hot shot, workover...doesn't matter. The oilfield is hard enough without working next to people who make it worse.

Find a good crew. And when you do, don't fuck it up. That's rarer than $100 oil.
