Chemical and hazmat transport

Background

The business is a Texas limited liability company founded by Benjamin H. Kail, who serves as president and chief executive officer. Kail has worked in oil and gas since March 2011, when he co-created PMK Trucking, an asset-based leasing company operating in Odessa that ran from 2011 to 2014, and he moved into the energy service sector full time in December 2012. The company states that its staff have experience at some of the largest publicly traded companies in the energy sector, and that it is working to expand its service lines as it grows.
