What a first build could look like in Odessa
A typical Odessa shop might fabricate, rent and haul out of one yard off I-20, with tanks, mats and pumps scattered across a dozen locations. We would start with an equipment list that shows what is out, where and since when, then add dispatch for the hotshot and vac trucks, and a phone checklist so drivers capture photos and hours on location instead of on the back of a ticket.
