Last Friday, we teamed up with The ProLift Rigging Company at the 2026 Bakken BBQ, where local businesses battled it out for bragging rights and the coveted trophies awarded to the top dish in each meat category.

This year, we decided to shake things up with a bison tri-tip burger topped with smoked pineapple coleslaw. It was our first time in this category, and although we didn't win, we had a great time serving and giving back to our community.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, offered support, and cast a vote for us. We truly appreciate it. We're already looking forward to next year's event and the chance to do it all again!

On Tuesday, we went out to our job sites to see how far our crew has come. On Harris Road, the project is nearly complete, with crews focusing on finalizing and polishing minor details. Along Highway 85, work is well underway at the job site, with significant dirt moving activities taking place, as well as pipe installations. Overall, both projects continue to make steady movement towards completion.

Yesterday, our food truck made its seventh stop of the season at the Marathon Dickinson Renewable Fuels Facility (also known as the Dickinson Refinery), where we served over 110 bacon cheeseburgers to their team and ours.

We've had the opportunity to support the refinery on a wide range of projects, including hydrovac and trucking services, hazardous waste disposal, dirt work, and other specialized operations.

It was a welcome change of pace to step away from the daily grind, share a meal, and reconnect with many of the people we've worked alongside over the years. We're grateful for this partnership and look forward to continuing our work together.

On Tuesday, our Baranko Environmental team attended our annual OSRO training in New Town, North Dakota. Due to the weather, we unfortunately were unable to take our boats out on the water. Instead, we participated in a knot-tying training and had the opportunity to take a deeper look at boat mechanics and navigation.

Our food truck crew also prepared a feast for everyone who attended, serving brisket, beans, coleslaw, and cornbread. A special thank you to the Krivoruchka family for preparing the brisket! We now plan to bring our food truck to the training every year, so we hope to see everyone again!

We also want to give a special thank you to Marathon Petroleum, Marine Spill Response Corporation (MSRC), ONEOK, Inc., Kinder Morgan, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Dunn Emergency Services Inc., JMAC Resources, MHA Nation, MHA Emergency Operations Center, and everyone else who attended and supported the training!! Until next year!

Yesterday, our food truck had its fifth stop of the season, where we fed hungry golfers at Dickinson API's May Meeting Golf Tournament. We served our signature biscuits & gravy in the morning, Italian beef sandwiches for lunch, and our newest beverage item, zingers, all day! We also had two teams competing in this tournament, one on the first flight and the other on the second flight.

Our team had an amazing time connecting with people in the oil and gas industry, seeing friendly faces and becoming a crowd favorite with our sandwiches.

We can’t wait to serve in the next golf tournament!

This week, eight of our team members, along with our partner at White Diamond ALS, took part in the 2026 Williston Basin Petroleum Conference. We celebrated 75 years of oil dominance in North Dakota and discussed the future of the industry, which centered around this year's theme of "Bakken 2.0—Crack the Code." Right now, North Dakota has only tapped into 15% of the oil in the basin, and this new initiative will work toward accessing the remaining 85% to power communities, industries, and economies! We're equally as excited and proud to stand alongside our industry partners as we look forward to this next chapter of energy innovation.

On a side note—thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, caught up with us in the conference halls, or chatted with us during the social hours! It was great meeting and connecting with you all!

We had an incredible time this weekend at Dickinson’s TOUCH A TRUCK event, hosted by Infinity Real Estate Group LLC! Our food truck prepared 1,000 hotdogs to give out, and they were gone in about 2.5 hours.

We also brought our John Deere 850 X-Tier E-Drive dozer for the kids to explore, along with the return of our sandbox, and a new arts and crafts station where they created their own sand tube / jar souvenirs.

Events like these are always special because they give our local children the opportunity to see and interact with the machines and equipment that have helped build our community. Thank you to everyone who came out and made this day a success!
