FluidPRO

In the heart of northern Alberta's oil fields, trucks bearing the FluidPRO logo are a common sight. A transportation and oilfield services company, FluidPRO has become synonymous with service excellence in an industry where quality of work defines reputation.

Its journey began in 2010 when owner Chad McFarland purchased his first truck to provide fluid transportation services. He gradually expanded the fleet, establishing FluidPRO as a highly sought-after oilfield service provider on a powerful promise – service excellence.

Today, with a fleet of 110 trucks, 250 pieces of equipment and a team of over 170 employees servicing multiple locations across Alberta, British Columbia, and North Dakota, FluidPRO thrives on the same foundational promise. State-of-the-art equipment and skilled professionals place FluidPRO miles ahead of the competition in a market crowded with companies specializing in fluid hauling and pumping services.

“Our competitive edge lies in an unwavering belief that success is forged through a symbiotic integration of people, equipment, safety, location and active community involvement,” says Eric Sundstrom, project manager.

FluidPRO operates as a one-stop shop for fluid hauling, vac units and pressure pumping services, relieving clients from the hassle of relying on a third-party for different requirements. Mobile filter units and H2S scrubbers are also offered for rent as a value-added service.

While the commitment to client satisfaction remains a top priority at FluidPRO, safety is given equal importance. A comprehensive health, safety and environment plan is in place to ensure employee well-being. Drivers undergo rigorous training and adhere to the highest industry standards, guaranteeing secure cargo transfer, be it well-site deliveries or chemical transportation. A representative is always available to support drivers, providing around-the-clock field supervision to swiftly address any concerns or timeline adjustments.

Every truck in FluidPRO’s fleet undergoes meticulous maintenance routines, including daily, weekly and 400-hour servicing. These procedures are carried out at its 35,000-square-foot facility, which features 13 bays dedicated to in-house repairs. Certified mechanics adept in the Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP) guarantee that the fleet is in peak condition, reducing downtime. A service truck is stationed for mechanics to travel to the equipment location whenever necessary. These strategies play a pivotal role in ensuring on-time, top-tier service every mile.

This ability to meet high-volume fluid transportation requirements within tight timeframes makes FluidPRO a favorite among clients. In one instance, a customer wanted to move a substantial volume of fluid in a short span—a time-sensitive operation as the schedule directly impacted their frac operations. FluidPRO successfully transported about 30,000 cubic meters in just a week, ensuring work continuity at the client site without disruptions.

FluidPRO is also cognizant of the impact of fuel costs on operational budgets. All its units are outfitted with engine and cab heaters to minimize idling and save fuel during harsh weather conditions. The cost savings are pushed forward to customers.

Above all, the success of FluidPRO is attributed to its team of professional operators who are well-versed in off-road situations and supported by a management team with hands-on industry knowledge. The company fosters a supportive environment that ensures open communication between employees and management. This familial work culture, complemented by competitive compensation packages, health benefits and bonus structures, has resulted in remarkable staff retention. A majority of the team members have been working at the company for over a decade.

The familial atmosphere extends to community involvement. FluidPRO supports Alberta charities like STARS and Ronald McDonald House, as well as local organizations such as Sunrise House and the Grande Prairie Hospital Foundation. It sponsors local sports teams and is a major patron of the Grande Prairie Stompede.

With a solid foundation built on integrity, reliability and customer-centric values, FluidPRO continues to deliver service excellence - the same promise that has become the cornerstone of its reputation.
