You're welcome. Trucks
are different. It was my hope that Q's about FE would open the door to interest of what it was like from the drivers seat. For good or for bad, even the most mechanically-uninclined driver has to learn a bit about how it works.
This map of the Eagle Ford gives some context. The "bands" of oil, or mixed liquids, or gas predominantly from wells is north/south on an east-west area of concern. San Antonio is to the north, Corpus Christi to the south.
Activity is not confined to these areas, but the amount of truck traffic is nigh unto incredible in them. One can think of TX-72 from Tilden in the west to Karnes City in the east as simply alive with drilling. At night, due to the flattened terrain and lack of light pollution one can see the lit derricks by the half dozen or more when cresting any minor grade. Unearthly.
