Porky Cutter's perspective on why it behooves contractors to establish themselves as professionals.
At times, I have encountered drilling contractors who think they have it all together. They think they are the best contractors in their area - because many don't communicate with their peers, they usually don't have a clue. Many of these people would be better off to hire a person to manage and run their businesses and be content being the owner. They would be better at talking with customers and selling the jobs.
It's very important that the company's equipment and drill sites be kept clean - as neat and as orderly as possible. This doesn't mean that employees must have uniforms or that equipment must be new. What it does mean is that all employees', the manager's and the owner's work clothes be clean and not ragged. It is important that they wear gloves, keep their hands reasonably clean and do not wipe their dirty, greasy hands on their clothes.
