clearvision Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 AP: It took little more than a day for 18-year-old Evan Jensen to smell opportunity in North Dakota's booming oil patch. The recent high school graduate got a whiff of himself and his 21-year-old brother, Justin. The two had been sleeping in a pickup while looking for work in the oil fields of western North Dakota. "We smelled," he said. "Bad." Thousands of workers have descended on the region to seek their fortune in the oil fields, and housing construction and growth of brick-and-mortar businesses haven't kept up. The closest shower to Jensen was at a truck stop some 60 miles away. It was expensive, filthy and the wait was several hours long. That's when the idea for a mobile shower hit him harder than the reek of his own B.O. -------- Great story in this economy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
