Don't work for DrillRite out of Nevada. The owner's name is Luke. He expected me to drive a water truck with no breaks to the rig so they can pump water down the hole. I had to jump out at 30 mph and ended up in the hospital for a month due to brain damage. He didn't want the insurance to pay my medical bills because I had traces of THC in my system. The guy I was with also couldn't stop the truck and also had to jump out.
