First off Dickerson you should have called for DPS. They have commercial vehicle enforcement. It appears you're just looking for a reason to slam the Sheriff's office. Try slamming the actual agency responsible.

I'd like to know if Marathon was behind the 400 ft convoy running down HW97 at 30 miles an hour a week ago Sunday. It was the most poorly planned and executed move I've ever seen with a complete disregard for anyone, including safety. It took over an hour to move from the Denhawken turn off to downtown Floresville. Two large extra wide loads (rig tower) and an accompanying convoy of trucks bumper to bumper.

Impossible to pass safely. When the opportunity to let traffic came up in Stockdale, they actually sped up and drove down the middle of both lanes, and then slowed back down once past the passing area.

Mr. Roberts, if you're doing anything the would show consideration for the many of us making $0.00 on the oil business but putting up with the inconvenience, I'm not seeing it.

True, there are probably thousands of contractors, but they all report to you. Leadership begins at the top. Its a permitted load, you must have a record of the crew that pulled this stunt.

Speaking of leadership, what about it Mr. Sheriff? I called your dispatcher 30 minutes before we got to Floresville on 97 and told her about the situation and the unsafe situation and I never saw a deputy until I went to your office and filed a formal complaint. No units dispatched. I witnessed at least 4 almost-head-on collisions of people attempting to pass in that time.

It is great to see a thoughtful article written by an executive from the inside. Dave's article is very honest and bridges the gap between corporate responsibility and stewardship of our resources. I am glad Marathon is engaged in the Eagle Ford project.
Nice article Dave.
