“It is crazy. ... The technology and stuff and time that goes into this stuff -- from 10 years ago to now, it's come a long ways.”

– Austin Flippin, Southeast Connections

“It's a lot simpler. I think a lot more guys could be trained a lot quicker, faster. ... It's a lot more (automated), so that takes a lot of human error out. (The) little test run I did, it was ... awesome.”

– Mike Ross, Predator Directional LLC

“The troubleshooting — that's huge. It isn't just a code that you have to call a buddy to get up. It has a troubleshooting guide, which you can try to pinpoint if you have some common knowledge.”
