with the equipment they will
be operating on a daily basis.
Then in-truck training begins.
This can last just a week or
up to a month, depending
on the new employee’s
skill level coming into the
company. The minimum one
week of training guarantees
new workers—even if they
have extensive experience—
are practicing safe driving
techniques that are up to
Mustang’s level of standards.
Many of the employees of
Mustang Oilfield Services
are from the region, a move
which Greg says is almost
necessary for success
in a region like theirs.
“We have heavy winters and
good summers here in the
Appalachian Mountains, and
the terrain is very different
from other shale plays. Local
employees are familiar with
this part of the country,
and know the dangers of
driving in the region. That’s
what makes them some
of the best employees in
the region,” he said.
Knowing that happy
employees are productive
and safe employees,
Greg makes sure that his
employees have strong health
insurance packages, good
benefits, and a wage that
goes beyond base pay.
24/7 Solution
Within the last several
months, Mustang has
instituted a new 24/7
mechanic shop to maintain
the efficiency of its fleet of
trucks. It started with an
idea the operations manager
and business development
manager brainstormed after
asking the question “What
can we do to provide better
service for our customers?”
This new shop has a mechanic
present at all times of the day,
meaning any problem can be
addressed almost instantly,
and employees aren’t
plagued with broken trucks
and down time. This helps
Mustang maintain quality
service to its customers.
What’s Next?
Mustang’s newest location
in Bentleyville, Pennsylvania
is looking to do big business
for one of its bigger
customers in the coming
years. The area is currently
