Badlands Tank Lines, LLC
Our Story
In 2011, Badlands Tank Lines stepped into an operational maelstrom. Crude haulers had flocked to the new shale fields in Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, and North Dakota.
Roger Johnson, an oil trader himself, realized his clients needed more than just trucks, they needed high quality, timely ticketing information. Roger took it upon himself to bring together a skilled information technology team to develop a state-of-the-art ticketing system to provide his customers the timely information they needed.
Roger expanded his state of the art ticketing system to provided dispatching and carrier management systems that allowed Badlands Tank Lines to manage multiple disparate contract carriers and provide a seamless and painless solution to its clients.
Roger also hired and developed a management team that took complete ownership and responsibility of managing a large contract fleet so his clients would have a single point of contact.
When it became clear that the contract model was not sustainable, Roger acquired his own fleet of trucks to deliver more dependable and consistent service.
As of August 2019, we have continued to grow with the acquisition of Twin Eagle Transport, LLC. This purchase has helped position Badlands as one of the largest crude carriers in the industries. Read the full press release here.
SINCE 2015 WE'VE INCREASED THE VOLUME OF PRODUCT HAULED ON COMPANY OWNED TRUCKS FROM 40% TO OVER 80%.
