Dawn Trucking Co. is the largest independently owned and operated oil and gas related trucking company in New Mexico. It was formed in 1973 by Daniel M. Nelson, Sr. with only one truck. Currently, the fleet consists of nearly 150 trucks and tractors in addition to support equipment. The primary business of Dawn Trucking Co. is trucking for hire on a non-scheduled, irregular route basis, for the purpose of transportation of oilfield related equipment, materials, and supplies. The trucking is focused in two areas. The home and more significant area is in the San Juan Basin of Northwestern New Mexico and Southwestern Colorado. The main terminal is in Farmington, New Mexico. One satellite terminal is located in Lindrith, New Mexico. Additional terminals are located in Ignacio, Colorado, and Dove Creek, Colorado. In 2004, a terminal was established in Grand Junction, Colorado, with a sole focus placed on the heavy hauling of drilling rig equipment. The San Juan Basin operations are more diversified. The bulk of the business in the San Juan Basin is split between heavy hauling and water hauling. Besides rig components and pipe, the heavy hauling includes a significant amount of hauling compressors, pump jacks, and production tanks. With over 300 frac tanks and flowback tanks, tank rental and tank hauling is substantial. Vacuum trucks and transports are used to fill and empty these tanks. The vacuum trucks and transports are also used to haul water to drilling rigs and from producing wells to water disposal wells. Road construction materials, equipment, and supplies are hauled seasonally.
