Our company does work for Purity Oilfield Services, and they hosted a Truck Rodeo and fun day! We all got dressed up in our Real gear and went to cheer on Uncle David as our "cowboy!"
Just over 2 years ago we began REAL Enterprises on a wing and a prayer! We began as a leasing company with 1 truck and trailer and when that fell through, we dug in our heels and decided we had to make it on our own!
The guys sat Rindee and I down and told us that we needed to get our own work, but that it wouldn't "add any work to our already full plates."
And then--there were many late nights/early mornings in my living room correcting driver tickets and doing invoices, and countless sleepless nights--needless to say, our plates were over flowing!!
Here we are 17 trucks and 70+ leasers later and we have office help! Our plates are still full, but this group here makes it all worth it!
When people find out that we are business partners AND family, they look at us like we are nuts--and we probably are! (We come from a long line of nuts) so be it!
I think that if anyone can make a family/partner business work its us! We have our rocky times for sure, and once in a while there is a little brother/sister yelling! ;)
But, we work it out and I couldn't think of a better partnership!
David( Pickles) drove the rodeo truck! He did an amazing job! The drivers had to do tasks like back in a straight line, back into a dock, and parallel park--a semi--with a trailer! All while trying to get closest to the cones without hitting them!! Not an easy task--but David made it look easy!
He represented our team well!! We didn't win, but we had the best cheering section for sure!
We did take 1st place in the team tug of war! Luckily, we have some tough people that like us! Looses had to go in the dunk tank--so no one wanted to loose!
We even had a "mini" team! They did awsome against bigger kids!
They pulled their little hearts out and looked really cute doing it!
I kept thinking the whole day just how lucky we are! We are surrounded by great people!
